Hi there -- I have an issue that I can't seem to solve re: intermittent stutter. Basically, if I'm playing a movie (VLC / WMP / etc) the video will do a little stutter every minute. On the dot. Like, I timed it for minutes. I've tried closing background programs and services, but the issue is still there.
Of note, I noticed this problem when playing an online game too, back before I moved the laptop to my TV. I'd get a random ping spike / lag and then it would play fine until the next time. This issue didn't appear on my other computer and I'm 100% sure it's not network related (at least not outside of the laptop). I'm not sure if that was every minute like the video playback. I'm on Windows 10, fairly new/fresh install, but the online game stutter happened on a previous install/version (Windows 7), so I think it must be hardware related.
Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this issue? I would think it's HDD or memory related, but the exact timing doesn't support that theory.
Thanks in advance!
