Small Problem!
Hi, the last few days my mums computer has started being very strange. While the computers being used, general internet usage,viewing hdd contents. The computer will pause, sometimes lockup but sometimes just pause for 10-30seconds.

Iv checked CPU Temps which are always under 58 degrees C

58°C ? Is the computer itself an integral part of the central heating system in that house??? It may be within tolerance levels set by AMD or Intel or whoever, but I'd be a tad concerned if my system got that warm. [my system & CPU both currently running @ 30°C, with only 2 case fans (not including PSU fan) ]
The Temperature seems to be a bit high. Noticed you have an IBM drive. There was some news about certain IBM drives not being left on for more than seven hours a day. Apparently, they can become flaky. With all internet news, you have to take it with a grain of salt, but type in the name of the hard drive in Google or one of the search engines to see if someone else has had this happen.
Well, it's becoming my standard solution to lots of things but some NICs (my 3Com ones for example) are by default trying to autodetect best speed all the time. Once you set them to a defined speed, they behave, and so does Windoze.
