Audio video players have an intermittent humming/freeze for 1-2 seconds - Dell Vostro 5470 Win 8.1

Help - all devices audio / video have intermittent hum and freeze the video on my new Dell Vostro system 5470 Win 8.1. This happens with Windows Media player, various audio players, even in Skype!

I see messages on the removal of the center of support Dell etc. that is not the response that users should have to live with - Dell?

I have a XPS 17 (L702X, early 2011) and removed Dell help. This solved this problem.

    Search for malware, and then run the cleaning as described below.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then

  • Computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds, the cursor disappears for a split second and the clock freezes and restarts.

    Original title: OS time questions continuum (microfeezes)

    It seems that my computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds approximately. My cursor disappears for a split second, and because the clock freezes and restarts, it displays a worst time of the day. Audio and video have the same gel splitsecond. The problem persists in safe mode. Dell Inspiron 1520, servicepack2 of vista running. I've never had any problems with this machine. Here's a video I took of the number: http://youtu.be/fbUeK8U7wHw

    I would like to know if there is other info/specifications that could be useful.

    Thank you.

    Good,

    1:
    Updated the chipset drivers even though it said I was with the best.

    2:
    Run a SFC scan, which revealed no violations of integrity or files not repaired.

    3:
    five hours and 8 infected files later, my computer is totally cleaned.

    I opened the event viewer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are many changes to the machine because it began to act up, which were intended to correct the problem. I installed the Service Pack 1, then 2, scan MS Safety and new chipset.

    I also ran a memory diagnostic, but all was well.

    What should I look for in the event viewer? I know that the problem started in a 12 hour window. Should I save and post the logs at the time?

    There is a certain mystery. We need Sherlock Holmes.

    -UPDATE

    I have reset the system to its factory settings. Now, it's as if it were new.

    The problem persists. He still hiccupping. It freezes again for a few milliseconds about once per second. And I'm going crazy.

    UPDATE 2-

    The computer was closed for about 12 hours and when it restarted and Windows initialization complete, the problem disappeared. It works normally for a vintage computer 2007. I'll let you know if I learn more.

    Hi guy,

    I think that it of difficult to say exactly why the screen / the game freezes for a few seconds during the game. There are too many different factors that can affect the game, laptop performance.

    For example the GPU performance can be clocked down due to a higher temperature or memory might be full and the data has be moved to the HARD disk using the paging file.
    Maybe the CPU's load a few seconds due to various processes that run in the background (anti-virus, etc.)
    Maybe its GPU driver problem. Who knows

    I think first of all you must disable all security and antivirus software that could run while you play a game. But do this only while game.
    You can also try to reduce the graphic details in the game settings.

  • roar of hard disk and the computer freezes for a few seconds

    My hard drive makes a sound whirring for a few weeks now and when I type in emails or messages like this, the computer freezes for a few seconds. Any ideas how to fix this?

    A desktop computer. Your problem could be overheating.

    You must remove the side panel right and remove dirt dust bunnies fans. Also, make sure that all the fans are working. Safety switch the computer off and pull the power cable before removing the side panel. You can then move the computer backon and check that the fans are working.

    Then, turn off the computer and some time for that cool. It is best to use a wrist band, which you set on the casing of the computer to you the earth before touching anything inside the envelope. You can buy one in a store of computer accessories. Static electricity can damage a motherboard if you don't take precautions.

    Then, you use a small brush to remove the sheep of dust around the fan on the processor. I used an electric razor, cleaning brush. I use an Air blower to clean the power supply fan. An air Duster is also useful fopr cleaning keyboards.

    Removal of the dust bunnies should reduce the noise that makes your computer. It can also reduce overheating, which can lead to errors of Blue Screen of Death.

    Another way to check the hard disk to see if it is overheating is to use HD Tune 2.55 (free):

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  • CC 2015 Multicam freezes for a few seconds each time I pass cameras

    I am modifying a project of 4 cameras multicam in 2015 CC and whenever I click on a camera or select a camera with the keyboard shortcuts, reading about all the cameras freezes for a few seconds, then starts again. Audio playback is not interrupted. Of course, this is a very frustrating issue because I didn't happen on other projects making, and it is impossible to cut quickly from the camera to the camera when I don't see what I am cutting. It should not be a performance issue because the media on the SSD internal and rendered and replacement with Cineform has no effect on the issue.

    Turned off the coast of GPU acceleration reading the parameters of the project and the problem has been resolved.

  • Photoshop CS5 freezes for a few seconds on a long press on the tools.

    Hello

    Hello

    In my opinion, the picture freezes for a few seconds because the CPU starts a new background process. As far as I know similar problems occur if the use of processor performance is to 100%.

  • Video freezes for a few seconds, several times, but audio still ok

    Flash freezes for a second or three; Audio still ok.
    Happens usually seconds, about 8 seconds to maybe 3 times and
    intermittent after (sometimes works fine the rest of the way). Have Vista64
    IE9 - Chrome and FF will freeze not only IE. Hardware acceleration disabled (
    software). NVIDIA 440 drivers up to date. Flash up to date: object
    13.0.0.214 ActiveX control: 12.0.9.149
    (shouldn't that be the same as the object?). Not a buffer problem that it loads
    usually at a good pace in front of the video game. Local storage attached to 10 MB buffer
    (tried the upper and lower parameters without joy). Would like to have 4 HD audio drivers
    installed something to do with this problem? (noticed in Device Manager). Previous
    versions of back a few months did this too so decided to go on this forum. Thank you.
    Hope that I don't miss anything.

    The last 14.0.0.176 update flash for IE9 seems to have solved the problem of stuttering. I've just updated and tried - running smooth as silk. Thank you Adobe for finally fixing.

    > I have restored the pc to factory settings and updated all the drivers, but I always get this annoying problem...
    Hmmm... Why update all THE drivers if you n t know why this happen?
    You must restore mobile settings, open Notepad, and test it. can you confirm that to happen immediately after the restore laptop to factory settings?

    It is not easy to help with these issues. We don t know what kind of things is installed on your laptop, that extra ((troisieme party software) applications are installed, background processes are active, how your operating system is configured and so on.

    In my opinion a background activity is responsible for this. It can be installation of updates from Microsoft if you defined the option automatically. It may also be some antivirus analysis activities. Who knows?

    Try to change the configuration of the OS and operating system settings.
