    I don't know if you guys experience this, but to me this is a very annoying issue.

    Often when I'm watching a video, whether I may be streaming from youtube or just watching a regular avi file, I often get this random bug where the screen freezes for some seconds and the sound gets all distorted. This is a video to prove that.

    Does anyone know what's the cause of this, and if it has a solution?

    I know our laptop has quite a few problems, the noisy fan being one of the worst, but this one really bugs me! At times I get this 4 5 times while watching a 20min video!

    Do you have McAfee installed in your system?
