What version of Windows are you running? Is Windows fully updated using Windows Update until there are no more updates are found?

 

I've got Windows 8.

Tried to update it twice and each time got this error:

 

Shut down the computer and restart. Try the updates again

 

Did it, same results.

 

Try running this: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/.

 

"We're sorry, but your operating system is not supported by Microsoft Fix it at this time."

 

Click the first link in this Google search: https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&...61,d.dmg&fp=701c806c0df3bf7b&biw=1920&bih=894. Sorry about that, I am using a Mac right now, and that is probably the issue.

 

Hey guys it's still me. The problem's getting worse and worse. Tried reinstalling the driver for video card and things were fine for about 2 hours. Then the slur was back again. Then updated Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Still no results.

Anything would be helpful, this thing's driving me nuts.

I should add that the Windows Updates are not a problem anymore ever since I installed 8.1 - they get updated automatically, without any errors.

 

The laptop may be overheating...

 

It's not.

 

I was watching the performance section in Task Manager and noticed that each time the slur occurs, the percentage of Disk 0 (C: D: ) rises to almost 100%. Right after the slur, it lowers again. Here's a print screen with it going up to 91% while a song was playing.

 

Do you have Java and Adobe flash player properly installed?

 

Reinstalled both from their respective websites. No effect.
