Q: Mac keeps randomly freezing

Until yesterday my 2012 13" MacBook Pro has been working perfectly. Now it freezes and all that doesn't freeze is the spinning beach ball whenever I open a program and at random intervals throughout general use. It happens even when the CPU usage is very low (sub 5%) and with lots of ram free (5+gb). It's really annoying and makes the computer very frustrating to use. Any help is much appreciated.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Intel i7, 8gb ram, 750gb hdd

    I recently took it to iStore cause someone formatted the drive and deleted the OS, then it was fixed and the freezes/lagging started after I did an upgrade.

    If you have already done that re-writing once, it is time for a new drive.
