I have problem with laptop Dell D600 series. My computer ALMOUST freezes from time to time (every day 2-3 times). CPU shows 100%, wireless usb mouse freezes, but otherwise computer still works, although very very slow. To recover, I will go standby (could be very slow) and after couple of seconds I switch computer on again. And everything is normal again. CPU is 0 or 1%, everything is OK. What could be going on??

How much RAM memory do you have ????
Most Virus and Spyware scans are likely to work better in Windows Safe-Mode.

I have 1,5G RAM memory. System Idle Process seems to be the process what consumes the biggest % of my CPU in these cases. I have Nod32 and I have done various other malware and virus searches (both normal and safe mode) but found nothing.
