every couple of seconds there's a digital stutter, making listening annoying, first happened in the dvd-rom drive, restarted the computer and everything was okay, then a week later it happened, again, but restarting didn't fix it, then it happened to the cd-rom drive,
tried updating drivers, uninstalling, using a:\ drive boot disks to update firmware, which temporarily fixed the cd-rom drive, but i've had to do that a couple of times, but the dvd-rom drive has been perpetually stuttering for 3 days, including, also, when playing DVDs
