Windows 7 randomly freezing for 30 secs or so for no reason? There is a fix apparently

I get this, there seems to be no reason why it happens, but every now and again Windows 7 appears to freeze, even the taskbar. I can't switch applications, or do anything but move the mouse cursor, then it comes back to life after 30 seconds or so.

When it happens I wonder if I have a bad sector or dying HDD but there is never anything in the event logs, and no horrible sounds from my HDD.

Well apparently this is the fix:

Going to try it and see if it happens again...

This happened to me last week.. I assumed that this was probably some updates going on in the background as it has not happened since restarting the PC..
