[fugiware]

Hello, this is my first post here.

My problem started about two weeks ago on my computer. I've had this computer for about six months and it was perfect before whatever happened, happened. The sound while listening to music (both in WMP and on a web based player), playing a video game and even just the welcome noise is laggy, distorted and barely tolerable. The video is also messed up, when I watch something (in addittion to the sound prob.) it often goes into slow motion and just stops, then starts again.

I tried reinstalling the sound card drivers and some other stuff.

Here's my specs or something (copied from DXDIAG)
