600m audio freezing/stutter
Whether it's a cd or an mp3 or any type of audio and no matter what program I use, when I am listening to music on 600m the audio will stutter and stop and the computer will temporarily freeze. The playback is horrible to the point where it gets so annoying that I can't listen to audio. As soon as I stop and quit the media program whether is windows media player or music match the problem goes away and the computer runs fine again. It does it throughout the entire song at random times. Especially when the computer is performing another action like opening a web site or any other thing. I've never experienced this problem on previous computers and I'd have it from day one with my 600m. I listen to music on my computer a lot but w/ this computer I can't because of how it affects the computers performance and ruins the song my stuttering and stopping. I have the latest audio driver and updated the bios. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it, thanks.

only think I can think of right now is to check to make sure both your IDE controllers are set to DMA instead of PIO
goto the device manager and check the primary and secondary ide channels (Under IDE controllers) and make sure everything is set to "DMA if available" instead of PIO.
also disabling the drive indexing service and defragging your Hard Drive may help with performance.
How much RAM do you have and are you running other programs at the same time as listening to music?
