When did this start? What are you using for virus/spyware protection? When was Windows loaded on this machine? What other problems? Do you do disk cleanups and defraging? What files are you having problems with - audio CD's, or what? More details about the hardware would be helpful.

When you reloaded Windows after replacing the drive did you load the drivers from the Dell site (updated) or off the Drivers CD?

If you are using XP.

I would try a reinstall of the audio drivers. Also, check for running processes in Device manager and also use the online scanner at www.trendmicro.com

Post back your results.
