Did you by chance drop the thing?
Bad drive spots are automatically relocated on modern drives.
Problem is the thing tries to read a bad spot anywhere from 5-15sec or more for each bad spot and everything stops in the mean time.
Usually happens after a nice kick, slap, pounding, hammer, etc.
Have you ever run msinfo before?
Try running msinfo32 and see your RAM usage {Available Physical Memory is in MB =
}, thus its using a swap file instead of RAM for playing videos.
My PC stutters and hesitates around every thirty seconds or so, it happens while watching videos, and listening to music, also my courser lags about as often while moving it around the screen. I've tried resetting the system but after restoring from my most recent backup it's doing it again. Is my hard drive going out, or did I reload malware with my back-up? I've scanned it with two different malware programs and come up with nothing. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks all in advance
