A desktop 4 core PC has Windows Vista (virus) so it suffers from frequent hangs for no apparent reason. No amount of patching and disabling services has cured it.
Microsoft Windows 8 upgrade is currently offered at $39.99, including Media Center upgrade to play DVDs. The upgrade was surprisingly pleasant. As promised, data files were saved and everything else was removed during the clean install. After the install, don't forget to request the Media Center upgrade key.
