I have collected data w/ perfmon when this issue occurs. I think it has something to do w/ my video card, but i really need some help. If i have multiple apps running. If i click on the min'd window on the taskbar sometimes my cpu shoots to 100% and app will never restore/maximize and i have to close the program (windows says it is not responding) which besided annoying can cause data loss.
memory % commited bytes is steady at 32%
memory available mb = 160
memory cache\faults/sec jumps 41 to 200
memory demand zero faults/sec 70 to 251
memory page faults/sec 170 to 425
memory page reads/sec .8 to 10.8
memory page writes/sec 0 to 1.8
memory pages input/sec 3.8 to 32.1
memory pages output/sec 0 to 29.3
memory pages/sec 3.88 to 61.44
memory transition faults/sec 89 to 150
memory write copies/sec 0 to 3.5
network interface bytes total 700 to 8500
% disk time is 6%, % idle time is 94%
page file % utilization steady at 7%
Any ideas... i suspect video card, but dont really know where to start or what to do...
Help please!

(this has happened twice while i have been typing this, going between my perflog and this IE, once excel and once IE, so it is not any particular app... folders too)

Any ideas... i suspect video card, but dont really know where to start or what to do... the virtual memory is obviously spiraling out of control... memory leak? ... oh my video card is ATI Radeon x550 8.221.0.0, very recently updated.
Help please!
