In the old days I'd have said your email program or some regularly
scheduled action is doing this, but today's computers shouldn't have
this problem.
Vista has some elaborate looking monitors which might help. I don't
have a copy of Vista handy, but they're not hard to find. Something
like event viewer, which keeps a log by time should help pin this
down.
The fact that it happened on your old PC also makes me wonder if
you've installed the same  program on this PC that caused the problem
previously.
It's also possible this is not PC related, I suppose. Maybe it's some
older appliance you have, the NSA collecting data, or your neighbor
cycling his grow lights.

My computer freezes, I cant move my mouse, If audio is playing it starts skipping, if video is playing it skips and then the video starts playing again but runs slow to catch back up with the audio.  This can happen at any point not just when playing audio or video.  It is just noticable when playing audio or video.  Any help would be great, and if there is any more questions concerning this just ask.
