Unresponsive System For A Few Minutes

We've been seeing a lot of this lately and I need some suggestions on where
to start with diagnosing this problem.
We are a domain node on a WAN and several of my users, including myself,
have indicated that periodically their systems will simply become
non-responsive for 2-4 minutes all the while they are clicking stuff and
nothing is happening, after the 2-4 minutes have passed, everything they
clicked, all opens at once and the system is then again responsive. There is
no disc activity during this period of unresponsiveness; the system is simply
dead until it comes around again.

Nothing in the event viewer indicating any problems has taken place.

Any ideas where to start?

TIA

Open event viewer,locate the time(s) that it took place,see what the OS
says.Click on the url enclosed,this opens kb help/support in xp,usually with
a fix.
