Re: OT: Computer is randomly pausing.
Kinda sounds like Window's virtual memory manager throwing a hissy fit trying to resize the page file...
Try this:
1. Right click on "My Computer", and select "Properties"
2. Select the "Advanced" tab
3. Click the "Performance Options" button
4. Click the "Change..." button
5. Here are the settings for your virtual memory. Most likely, the Initial and Maximum values are not the same. This is a problem, especially if Windows decides that it wants to resize the file. When it does that, it is taking a while to copy all the information needed to a new paging file. To stop this, all you need to do is make the Initial and Maximum fields the same; a good number for 1GB memory is 1536 or 2048. Pick one of those, put that number in both fields, and click the set button.
That should help some. If that doesn't work, and none of the other options given here work... yeah, try taking it to a tech guy. He might catch something that we're missing.
