I've been having a problem lately where my PC (sig) will stall randomly, it might be for a few seconds, a few minutes, or beyond recovery. All downloads will cease (incl. webpages will not load up), and if I go to open a new program (eg. from the start menu), the start menu becomes stuck in its "pressed in" position, and you cannot access anything in the taskbar (mouse icon moves to the "hour glass" figure). It wouldn't be my o/c because it had happened before at stock (and my o/c is prime stable), but now it's beyond bareable. Has anyone experienced anything like this before, or have suggestions? And pls, nothing like "might be time to reformat", because, in all honesty, that's not helping...thanks in advance

What? I don't use windows anymore and I'm enjoying not having to put up with 100's or bugs and errors every day.
