Maybe this is just how Windows is, but every hour or so, whether I am in Chrome, or MS Word, or another app, the system sort of freezes for a couple seconds. I can't input, and the open window looks funny. Then everything goes back to normal.

I am not running heavy apps or tasks, just basic stuff like browser, word processor, music player, PDF reader. I have plenty of RAM, and a modern CPU.
When it happens, I can't open Task Manager to see what's going on. Then it's over.
This minor annoyance has been plaguing me for years, on many computers.

I totally missed the last sentence :D If it happens on other computers also, then it's even more mysterious
It could still be an irregular power supplied and if the psus are not quality psu they will not be able to deal with that. Though it's most probably a software issue so he should start with that.
