Hey,
Just brought an XPS 8300, and noticed that as soon as I got it out of the box, I had stutters of the system, the whole system "lags" or "stutters" for up to 2 seconds at a time, this can happen once every 4 hours, to 6-7 times in a 45 minute timespan, no matter what Im doing (Listening to Music, playing a game).
I found an issue on YouTube, that is exactly what I am getting!

Reported this to Dell, they are sending my CDs to reinstall Windows 7, but I dont think this is a software issue. Ran the dell diog untils (F12) and they all passed, nothing in the event log.
Thanks,
