    No matter what song I listen to, every few minutes or so, the music slows down very breifly in the space of about 1 second and it starts stuttering a little bit.

    It's as if the CPU is getting clogged or too hot or something and thus giving the music a bit of grief. (Even though the laptop isn't hot at all)

    I haven't noticed this problem with headfones yet so thats quite weird. But maybe I haven't noticed it until now.

    It's a strange problem. Sigh. I thought my Xps m1330 came perfectly! But in the past 24 hours that Ive owned it, i have encountered ...

    1. squeaky W key
    2. random 1 second of stuttering for every 3 minutes of song approx
    3. Fingerprint reader sometimes doesnt work for logging into the PC and just says "please connect fingerprint reader to USB" wtf?
