Intermittent freeze due hard disk reading

    Can somebody help me with the following issue?

    I'm using Vista Home Premium. Every 10 seconds my hard disk does
    something por half second that freezes my pc for the same period of
    time. If I'm moving the mouse, then the cursor gets stuck for half
    second. The biggest problem is that I use the computer to watch TV so
    the TV signal freezes every 10seconds which is very annoying.

    I disconnected the indexing service & I stopped the antivirus, but the
    problem is still there. I'm sure it is some sort of service running in
    the background.

    Thank you,

    Process monitor (free download) is a good tool for seeing what activity is
    going on in real time ...

    Process Monitor v2.6
