    I have a month old fully loaded m1710. It started slowing down the other day. I ran anti-virus scan and trojan to be safe. Found nothing.

    Now it is not recognizing wired internet. I tested the cables to be sure. Wireless keeps dropping out and the other laptop has no issues.

    The sound now stutters for everything. The mouse pointer and CPU proceess do the same thing. Like a computer stroke. I used a temp monitor to check it out and nothing out of spec.

    Checked even viewer and there was no clues.

    I have not installed new software for some time. To me it seems like hardware issues. Any ideas?

    sounds like a reload of the os may be an option or you may try windows system restore both may work
