I have this problem that I have this problem that my computer freezes up for a short while about exact every 30 minutes for a minute or so about exact every 30 minutes for a minute or so.
During this time nothing works properly and it kind of chatters,
it's specially bothering when I'm trying to watch a movie.
I can see in the task managers processes that Services.exe takes up 99% of the CPU power at that time, after the few seconds when the computers responding again the services.exe falls back to take 0% of the CPU power again.
Also I see in my Sygate Personal firewall that Services.exe shows up at that time,
looking like this:
First I thought it was a hard ware error, but since I changed the mo-bo, graphics card, PCU and CPU fan it's still the same so it not it.
When I reinstalled windows it seemed to disappear for a little while but now it's back again.
I'm not sure if this is caused by a mal-ware, most lightly a resource hog.
I have spent a lot of time trying to solve this also.
I would much appreciate any input at all.
Here's my Hijackthis log, even if I think it looks clean...
I can mention that Avast is my anti-virus program.
