Is that it's in prior discussions. The usual is.
1. The OS is not what dell supplied and there is some driver issue. I can't tell from this post if the OS is not stock.
2. There are heat issues.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit w// all updates current. I'm using WMP 11 as that is the newest that Win7 Home 64 bit is allowed to have.
My issue is that when I'm playing my mp3 music over the media player and browsing/surfing I get a annoying hang up for a sec or 2 with a BUZZING sound, its driving me nuts.
It seems if I delete the browsing history I'm good for a little while before it starts again. I'm using Google Chrome, Dell Studio 540 w/7gigs of ram. MY main HD is 250 GB w/ 8gb cache, my slave drive is 2 tb w/16gb cash.
I do not know if this makes a difference but I have all my music on the slave drive w/ a shortcut on my desktop.
So far I have disabled the WMP and just used the Cowon Jet Audio MP and when I use that alone it seems to be ok. But if I enable the WMP and use the Cowon player I get the same issue.
There has to be a fix I hope as it nuts.....
I have seem similar posts online about the problem but have yet to find a fix.!
Also have run all Dell diagnostics on the pc and it passed off of them! Same goes running the Win7 diagonistic on the PC, HD , memory etc all passed!
