Suddenly my audio and video started glitching about every 30 seconds, the video momentarily freezes and the audio buzzes. It is driving me nuts.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 1750 and I am running Windows 7 Home edition. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi :) 

Have you run a virus scan ?

All the best Brett :)

Yes Brett, I scanned with AVG anti-virus and also did an anti-rootkit scan and the problem still persists...

What are you doing while the freezing occurs?

I had problems with Windows 7 having split second freezes whenever i had any type of network traffic.

it freezes for about 1/2 second every 30 seconds. It really ruins the quality of a video or audio because the video momentarily freezes and the audio buzzes

Upon further investigation I have found that the whole computer briefly freezes every 30 seconds, not just the video. I rebooted in safe mode and it doesn't happen. Also, I restored to an earlier date and the freezing went away. Since that date I have made some changes to speed up the computer and there has been a windows update. The computer is much faster now and I am not sure which of the changes has made the glitch. Any ideas?

Hi, I had the same problem as you. I have HP EliteBook Workstation 8560w. Go to ControlPanel->PerformanceInformationAndTools->AdvancedTools->ViewPerformanceDetailsIn EventLog ... Choose EventViewer (Local) on the top of the tree and check for errors and warnings. Your problem causes the source with most errors/warnings in the column of last hour. I have 2000 warnings from same source and it was problem of HP Software Framework. I deleted the HP Power Assistant and everithing started working normal.

:bounce:  OMG! Dude, you just saved my life, really. I was looking for this ******* freezing problem for about 5 hours, I was almost freaking out here, and just about to go to sleep when you showed up talking about the HP Power Assistant. I really dunno whatahell happened, it wasnt giving me trouble before but maybe some automatic update happened and the HP Power Assistant was indeed the root of my problem. I can't express my thankfull for your comment, I was really considering taking my laptop to a technician, but you showed up and now I can sleep happy. :D 

One question: are you brazilian?

Hi I have the same problem with my ASUS N56VZ, I tried your method, there are a lot of errors I guess, and some of them involve system files i think, how exactly did you fix this? :(

I had the same issue with Win7 Ultimate 64bit and M-Audio Fast Track Sound Card. I was not sure about freeze with other components of the PC. I was just recognizing 1-2 sec freezes (in every 30 secs approximately) via the sound.

I uninstalled Malwarebytes. And it is solved. Please keep in mind.

So basically I have a Lenovo Win7 PC model (laptop) 64bit operating system dunno if you need any more info guys,just let me know. The thing is you can do anything and randomly everything just freezes and if there were any sounds (like music or anything) then the sound freezes along creating a really annoying buzz.... basically it freezes for about 2 ~ 2 and a half minutes. Dunno what happening,tried back up and restore, tried to find a constant problem in the Even viewer but couldn't... anyone could help me out?
