System mini-freezes on save/open dialogs

I've been having some really annoying behaviour on my home machine
running vista ultimate x64.

My specs are: e8400, dfi p35 mobo, 4gb ram, 8800gtx, 4x 320gb in AHCI
mode

sometimes at random i'll get a system freeze for a few minutes when i
use the file open/save dialogs, the dialogs appears empty no matter what
folder i browse to and then explorer.exe freezes for a few minutes, all
other applications continue to run perfectly, its almost as if explorer
cant read a folder or something and locks up and then timesout before
carry on.

any idea what might be causing this?

Hahahah...OUCH!!! You love to shoot yourself in the fool and then
yell..."help I'm hobbled"!...LOL!
You are the fool, fool!

go to

START>>SEARCH>>EVENTVWR.MSC
check error messages in Application section - make sure especially on
errors with explorer.exe...
