The fact pings are timing out means it is unlikely to be streaming software/transcoding or anything like that. If it was 100mbit connections and you was streaming a 1080p mkv with DTS sound, it might be expected the bitrate could go above what the hardware could handle and at the same time cause some packet loss. But as its all gigabit...

Just to throw a couple more ideas into the mix..... I have seen graphics card drivers and heat cause machines to freeze up for a few seconds every now and then. Mostly I have seen it happen when hard disks are on their way out.
