stuttering laptop
My computer stutters, usually when I open a video or music file on my computer. At points it happens even with no video playing, even the startup sounds stutter and crackle. I have run numerous antivirus programs and nothing seems to have stopped it, although I have used a “System Optimizer” which lessens the problem, until I re-start and the problems reoccur. At first I thought It might be RAM but I have upgraded from “1”GB to 1.49GB and that did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What specs are your computer and operating system?
How many programs are running at start up? "run numerous antivirus programs" Uninstall all security programs, reboot any test. |

XP – Home, Version 2002 SP2; Toshiba-Satellite, Pentium M 2GHz, 1.49 GB RAM
Startup is mostly Toshiba stuff- Drive Acoustic Silencer, Synaptics Pointing Device, Intel Media Accelerator, zooming utilities, Virtual Sound etc, Intel Wireless internet.. plus Kaspersky antivirus (Trial Version), I usually use McAfee I get it free with through my internet provider but switch to see if it would solve the problem.

First off, you want to get SP3 installed. Do that first.

Run Malwarebytes and after it's done reboot and run it again.

In Run... type eventvwr.msc
Look at Application and System for errors, they'll be in red. Two-click them and see what they are they might point to a problem. |
