My laptop has started making occational freezes & buzzes since the 19th. It happens when I listen to music and play games.

On the 19th a message appeared on Google Chrome (my preferred browser) saying it needed to scan my PC for a virus.
Recently my laptop has gotten nearly one virus a month and I have removed them and installed http://www.avira.com/.
And when I got the viruses, the message from Chrome came up about an hour before the virus did anything,so I guessed this message was what was causing the virus transfer, so I closed the window.

I am currently running a system scan to see if my PC is infected, so far is says there is no problem

I need to know, what is the problem and how can I fix it.
I'm not sure if I should have posted this here or not.
(sorry for spelling mistake in title)

OS: Win7 Home premium (64 bit)
GPU: Mobile Intel(R) 4 series Express Chipset Family
RAM: 4096MB
(Are there any other bits of information you need to know?)

good frame rates matter... and a low ping might help XD

a list of running tasks may help. Open the task manager and list the processes and OS you're on as well as your laptop.

Also try googling to see if anyone else has this problem with that model of laptop, it may be a common hardware issue.

Get on my level

Now my laptop is now taking a long time to start up.

The buzzes are now becoming less frequent.

Why does my grammar/spelling suck so much?!?!?

Give your computer a hug, it proboly needs to feel loved. lack of owners love is the primary cause of computer health problems

dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them

If it freezes while playing games and listening to sounds, then there might be a hardware address conflict. try reinstalling the drivers for the sound and vga. or try to update it to the latest drivers.

did u install a new antivirus recently?
if all doesnt work, try restoring your windows to a date before the 19th.

NICE!...

ok, from the outset, how long have you had the baby for?

ok after reading the thread fully, I got a few questions...

one how long have you had the baby for already mentioned lol...

two did you mess about with the BIOS?

three did the 4gb of ram come preinstalled?

four did you do anything to the laptop yourself? like perhaps... I dunno install the extra memory yourself?

five I shouldnt have to ask this but... is it a legit licence (cough) or more properly put... did you buy this laptop new from a place like pc world?

six how long have you had the laptop for? when did you buy it.... this is crucial information for laptops sake...

seven whats the laptop make amd model number? (if its a dell please remove me from this thread!)

hang on a minute... chrome told you you have a virus?
seems to me you invited the virus in... get a proper antivirus app like Security Essentials or any of the ... (cough) paid for ones where you get more trouble than you need even though you paid for something.
