    Been playing WoW for a couple days now after purchasing this lap top and every 5-10 minutes i get a random 1 - 1.5 second pause when playing? No clue what it is? I have latest ati driver and wireless internet driver?

    Ccleaner, defragmentation needed, clean registry - everything is possible.
    Download dpc latency checker to see if latency grows randomly when you are not playing. If it is not - then it is problem with game (I would suggest you piriform defraggler Piriform - Products to defrag a folder of WoW)

    Please fill in profile options notebooks information so everyone could help you better

    Mine is doing this as well. My latency is low like 25 ms, but I am playing on wireless. No other laptops in my house do this either. I have tried updating the wireless driver. I was going to try it on a different wireless network to see if the same thing happens. For me it is not a "freeze" but you can definitely tell you are lagging for 1-3 seconds.
