Got a new hard drive, system now has very short freezes when being used
Hello there!
I recently got a new hard drive, 1 TB from 320, and i have been having an issue where the computer seems to freeze for about half a second and then go back to normal. This happens on multiple apps and accounts. i have had it happen in safari, firefox, Minecraft and warcraft 3. It seems to happen more when the system is under heavy use like if i am playing DvZ. Basically its like the display freezes and everything else keeps going. after about half a second or so the screen will jump to where it should be. This happens both in Minecraft and Warcraft 3. in safari it happens sometimes when i go back a page, it just kind of sits with the back button highlighted for a second then it goes to the previous page. Also sometimes when i scroll it takes a second or two to start scrolling.
The system itself is not freezing totally because stuff still happens when the screen is frozen, in Warcraft 3 units will jump to where they would be is the screen hadn't frozen.
I have tested it on multiple accounts so its not isolated to one account.
Thanks for any help you can give,
