Hello, I have a problem where programs on my laptop, the programs will freeze for 1-3 seconds every 5-20 seconds. I know it isn't the whole screen freezing because when I use the split screen feature of my Windows 7 laptop, one program will freeze while the other will continue working. Here are some examples of what happens during a freeze: I am playing a game with the FPS counter for that game running in the upper corner. The game will freeze for a few seconds and the FPS counter will show 0, but then jump back up to the 60 that it had been running at. If I happen to be using a web browser, I won't be able to scroll and the video will freeze until everything seems to catch back up a few seconds later. This issue is new as of the last few weeks. I have had this laptop for about a year and a half and it is used almost daily. The model is a Toshiba Satellite E305-S1995. I am hoping that the hard drive isn't going bad, but this problem might mean that it is. If anybody has solutions that can help me fix this problem, I will be overjoyed.
