    Hello, I have had my AW for about 2 years now and just recently it has started to have this wierd problem.

    I frist noticed it watching videos on youtube, It is hard to explain the video would freeze and literally stutter and it would just repeat the word it was on for about 3 or 4 seconds and drag it out then continue playing like normal. At first I thought it may be a browser or video streaming issue but it seems to affect everything my games, and even if im swtiching tabs. Sometimes it does it so frequently its hard to even play. It is a recent development and i have not done anything new to my computer to cause such a problem. I tried to flash the bios I have the A10 (moded A10) and it seemed to work for a while but now the problem has returned and is progressively getting worse!

    Please help! :confused:

    (Note: I do not have massive computer knowledge I can follow instructions well and have a general understanding)

    EDIT:
    Ok not so much repeat the word it was on but isntead almost as if it turns extremely slow motion and take about 3 or 4 seconds to complete. And same with games it seems to run extremly slow motion for about 3 seconds and the audio has to compensate almost like someones voice slowed down.
