    sadly it seems like that was not the problem :S

    could it be an hardware issue? because my pc is making more noise than it used to.

    It could be, but that's not my top suspect. Noise generally means one of two things. First, your fans are getting old and rattling more. Second, your HDD is really busy. The HDD noise can theoretically be a sign of a hardware problem, but generally HDD issues are going to manifest themselves far more dramatically than what you're seeing; you'll start BSODing and stuff will simply stop working. An usually noisy HDD more often is just the result of software making it go crazy trying to load things, which is a software problem.

    As I said, you should try and figure out whether a specific program or process is causing these situations. You can do that by checking the task manager process info while it is occurring.
