XP freezes 5 seconds every 5 seconds

Hi there

Have just upgraded my comp to an Intel Q6600 and an Asus P5K MB and am now running 6GB of DDR2 800 RAM. I have also just installed another Seagate 500GB SATA 2 HDD and am experiencing this major problem.

Has anybody else had this specific problem? I had a thought that could it be not enough power from PSU which is 400W. Do I need to go buy a 550 or a 650 for this spec?

I have checked in task manager for processes that might be doing this and nothing changes in terms of % of CPU, before during or after each freeze.

Help! I have googled it, but am totally stuck. It doesn’t happen all the time, but seems to be once it has been on for a while, so maybe overheating issues, possibly.

Any help would be most gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks.
