    I have a problem that started with my dv5t a little over a month ago. I've had my dv5t for a year and a half.

    My computer will hangs or lags for about a whole second once every few seconds to once every few minutes. It makes watching youtube videos annoying because I miss visual information to the lag.

    I hadn't noticed this until a friend put a trojan on my computer with his thumb drive on accident. AVG said it quarantined the trojan, but who knows..

    Has anyone else had this problem? Getting sick of it.

    the problem occurred before your system was infected?

    it has nothing to do with the notebook hardware
    mine is 1 year and a half old as well, and its going strong
    why don't you open the task manager and see which process is eating up your CPU, cause i assume that's what it is
    could you also specify wich certain model you got ?

    I would say backup everything you have, then do a clean install (you can use the out of the box guide in my sig)

    That should definitely fix it - there is only like a .001% chance that this is hardware related
