Starting about 16 hours ago, I started getting screen freezes that last around 1 second, maybe a little less. Along with the freeze comes a sound, I can't place it but it is electronic, and most decidedly not normal. There are no accompanying error messages, crashes, or anything of the sort. The glitch occurs every 2-3 minutes, and is most disruptive to gaming.
Malwarebytes found one malicious file, which I quarantined, yet the problem persists.
I am on the Dell Inspiron 17r SE. As far as I can tell (and as far as device manager tells me) my drivers are up to date. I went and updated all 5 queued windows updates (which took a disturbingly long time for the ~800kb download, but thats off topic).
Would appreciate any help, as I cannot find anyone with the same error on any sort of forum (There are similar, but different).
