I've found a few things. Another message board had this post:

I had a similar problem, but every twenty seconds. I eventually found the prob. I had installed a new HD and moved one from slave to master on a different channel, but hadn't switched the jumpers. Looked OK in BIOS and Windows, but was getting spike every twenty seconds via System process. Switched the jumpers and now all is well in the world again.

But this is a laptop, I wonder how the hell I'm supposed to change the jumpers?
I also realized that my fan is always on, it never turns off in AC or DC mode. A program called I8KFanGUI tells me that me CPU temp is ranges between 71 and 75 degrees celcius (about 165 farenheit). I've blown the dust out of the fans and they sound like they're working (very loud) and they're blowing out air. I've only got one Firefox window open - hardly intensive - and the CPU temp is that high? I read that a high CPU temperature can lead to shit like this happening so kid astronaut you might want to clean out your fans and see if it helps?
