Weird problem..
December 20th, 2013
Since a short time my pc slowed down and and it opens pages slower as usual.
What took my attention too is that when i play videos regularly it stops for a second,makes a weird noise like flipping and then continues to play.. i get crazy of it and i really don’t know what could be the problem.
I use avast 5 free home edition together with malwarebytes and my OS is windows 7 home premium and browser is firefox.
What can i do to solve this?
Edit:even when i listen a live radio stream every now and then it makes that flip sound and then plays further..
i’m not sure but it seems like ur audio driver problem..
reinstall n check it..
sounds like memory issue
open up task manager and see what using most memory it might be firefox is doing it
whats you full pc spec
for your sound
update your driver and update your codec
Alright the common rule is, computer goes slow throw in more ram.
Now this isn’t always the best solution. However your symptoms point me in this direction. Slower loading time and a weird noise. Well lack of ram means the computer needs to resort to page filing. Page filing involves caching data on to the hard drive. Therefore making the computer slow and more noisy. So yopu either need more ram, uninstall unused software or if you have tampered with the page filing settings put them back to default
try booting with the SHIFT key depressed (this bypasses auto startup apps)
then try a video and see if it plays right
I recommend adding some more RAM. That would most likely solve your slowing issues.

Here’s an image of taskmanager and you’re right Firefox IS taking the most memory but i must use it:

But the noise is from inside the pc so i mean you doesn’t hear a noise extern.. only when i use my headphone or speakers.
