Is something wrong with my harddisk and or/settings?

[shadehh]

I have the feeling something's wrong. Lately i've had stutter sounds when any sound is being played by my pc as soon as i do a specific test. After doing a quick search online some mentioned it's most likely the had disk, however, i'm not sure that's why i'm asking

just incase it is needed

Intel core 2 duo e6400 clocked @ 3ghz
4 gb ram

Go to the manufactures website for your hard drive, download their testing software and run it.

You probably want to figure out what the unknown device in device manager is as well. If you right click on it, and view the properties you will likely be able to get some info that you can google to determine what the device is and get the drivers installed properly.

unknown device says: on Intel(R) ICH8/ICH8R Family LPC Interface Controller - 2810

You should be able to get that from Intel's website, or from the manufacture of your machine. If you built it yourself go to the system board manufactures website and get the driver from them.

So it says it's installed as

ATK0110 ACPI Utility Properties
