    Just got a new replacement 17R which I like quite a bit. Just last night it's been doing a weird stutter type issue. All of a sudden the mouse/sound will lag, all cores hit 100% and then it stops. It's only about a second long if that. But it's quite annoying while gaming.

    Spec:

    2670qm
    2gb GT525m
    6gb of ram
    640gb hd

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Take a look at your processes and see whats eating up your CPU Clocks.

    What are your temps when this happens ?

    You may have a virus / spyware
