I have bought Packard Bell IXtreme X8211 (M3720). It has Quad CPU with 4Gig RAM.
Very frequently it freezes for up to 30 seconds. I have notice in Resource Monitor that the Highest Active Time is 100% every time it freezes. The system has a WD EADS SCSI hard drive.
It started this after about 3 weeks I have purchased the system and it is getting more worse over time. In some forums they suggested to turn off the superfetch service, but that did not help.
The computer is suppose to be very fast with multiple cores but it is really become unworkable slow.
Researching this, I found many users with the same problem but no solutions. Do anyone have a real solution to this problem many is experiencing?

Solution
Seems to be no further updates so not sure whether this solved the OPs problem. However.......
I have the same issue. New system (i7-3.3 overclocked) which was delivered with a 500Gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 drive. System is fine. However I wanted a larger drive, so bought a 1Tb Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 and used Acronis 2012 to do a disc copy.
Rebooting to new drive and system loads up fine but after some random period ( from a few mins to a few hours) I get the issue reported. 100% Highest Active Time. Resource monitor (after a short while) shows no active processes using the disc. (note: I tried both rebooting from the second drive and also swopping drives so the new one was first). All open Windows show "(not responding), although mouse still active and I can select application windows - just cant do anything with them. CPU activity also seems to be 0. After anything from a few mins to 30 mins I get BSOD (A thread or process crucial to.....)
In my case at least, it would seem the actions menationed by PaulInGermany arent going to work for me.
