Strange chain/chain ring problem

When riding in a gear where the chain is on the middle chain ring at the front and the 2nd - 3rd smallest cog on the rear cassette it seems as if the chain is clicking or catching on the chain ring. It's a 24 speed bike.
What is particularly strange is this seems to happen intermittently. I can ride for 3 or 4 miles without a problem and then it happens. It can be resolved if I pedal hard with the chain on the largest front chainring at the front and the smallest at the back. However, this again only lasts for a little bit longer.
I've changed the chain which has made a slight difference and the cassette and chain ring were done last year and I haven't done that many miles.
Any ideas?

and the parts are?
sounds like poor set up somewhere."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Did you correctly size the chain?
Its possible that its rubbing on the front mech guide, which will be intermittent depending on chain tension.0
