Hey all,
So I've had my HP laptop for a while, and I haven't had any problems with it until recently. As of recently, whenever I am watching a video of some sort, every now and then the video will hiccup, and will create an odd buzzing sound. It doesn't occur too frequently, but it still happens occasionally (I'd say about 4-5 times every hour), and it only lasts about half a second (so far). While this isn't a huge problem at the moment, I would really like to **bleep** this in the bud as soon as possible so that it doesn't get worse. I've been looking around about this type of problem, and apparently it's been happening to other people too, but I can't seem to find one that fits my particular model. Here are the specs for my Laptop:
