My emachines never used to freak out and freeze briefly, but lately its become a habit. I don't know if its because its almost 3-years old, or just because emachines is shitty. My hard drive (200 GB) only had about 25 GBs left, and this is when the problem started. I was playing Halo: Custom Edition, and realized my controls were lagging, my character would either stop, the game would freeze for a second, or anything I controlled was delayed, or strung out (Example: I would press the fire button, or jump while moving, and he would continue to move, and then start firing randomly or jumping while only moving in one direction). I thought freeing up some of my hard drive would fix the proble, so I managed to get it back to about 55 GBs free. The problem is still here, but less pronounced.
It's now happening outside the game too, my iTunes freezes up while syncing, music halts suddenly, mouse stops responding. Its really annoying, and I would really love to see if there's any type of fix for this.
