Title: Lagging video on laptop
Post by: radicaljack1 on January 22, 2011, 04:50:10 AM

Hi there. Im having a problem with my four month old laptop. When i watch any type of video on it, be it online or DVDs, it lags and the sound crackles. It has only been a problem for the last month so i know it isnt any problems with the hardware or anything.

When i open up the task manager it shows my cpu is running at 100%, with most of this usage coming from things called SVCHOST.EXE. I know these things are standard with windows, but they shouldnt be running at 100%? Ive read that it could be a virus or malware, but ive run scans with AVG and malware that found nothing. Any other suggestions or solutions?

If Laptop is bought brand new, check on your Warranty first before doing other things.

The Crucial scanner does NOT check the integrity of the RAM nor test it...

It is a tool to determine what type and quantity a machine takes.
