Hey everyone,

So I recently sent my notebook in to get repair and I finally got it back but it seems the problem that I was having before still persists. For some reason I seem to be getting a weird lag issue that happens randomly. Its like my CPU stutters and my sound also stutters in all programs. This happens when I am playing different computer games, listening to music or even shutting down the internet browser. This problem is driving me NUTS i've been searching all over for a fix. I've checked my audio drivers and everything seems to be up to date.

Thanks,
Chris

Have you ever updated you WLAN driver? If you have an Atheros WLAN card, which driver are you using?

No, it's okay...that's a fairly recent one. I can't remember the version number, but the original Atheros driver (the one shipped on the machine) caused a lot of DPC lag. I just wanted to rule out that possibility.

I'm signing off soon, but you might want to run DPC Latency Checker and see if a driver is giving you serious latency issues. They can cause the kind of behaviors you're describing.

So I updated my Atheros WIFI / BT Drivers and nothing has changed i'm still getting the same lag issues that I was getting before... This is starting to drive me absolutely nuts because its interrupting my game play. Its like a short little stutter that happens randomly when im playing games or anything

Go to Event Viewer and try to find the errors, something should show. I've got those problems on mine (the sound is kind of a robotic tune with the last sound looping, almost like dubstep), and it shows on Event Viewer as Display errors or critical "Kernel Power" errors.

Maybe it's time for a factory restore or a clean install?

I honestly did a factory reset about two weeks ago could it be McAfee Anti Virus?
