    Hey guys I just got my 6400 yay.

    I have problem with a sound. when i play anything(movie,mp3 etc) it locks up for half a second which makes really annoying. Know when ur laptop/pc is on full load but y try to watch video or lisen to music and sometimes it stops for a bit, it sounds like that.

    1st I thought its something to do with gpu so updated driver. Then sound card, still no differences. Then I tried my USB headset which have its own sound card and that didnt help so it leave me that is something wrong with actually system.

    its like 2 days old, i checked registry, viruses etc etc

    Can any1 help?

    Try updating to the Intel 8.8 SATA drivers. That should help fix that issue.

    SATA = matrix storage. Also, the Dell (Broadcom) wireless driver caused latency problems, so update the driver for that if you have it.

    If they doesn't fix it, look in Task Manager to see if some process is periodically hitting the CPU. The cumulative CPU time can be a useful indicator.
