hi, so this started i think 2-3 days back that my computer start behaving like that, when i play songs they give sound like "grrrrr", i though because my windows is like 6 month old so it may be behaving like that but it dont stop and always disturb me, my whole work has been effected because of that, so i thought why not install windows again.

I install it again but same problem and now i am sure there is some fucking virus in my computer, so any idea what it is, i have latest AVG anti virus and its scanning my computer and lets see what it can do.

Any idea which virus it can be and how to fix it??

    After clearing analyzing the process running on my computer with the help of ProcessExplorer the problem which i find is listed on link below (basically its something about hardware interrupts), but on my pc it has been solved itself (dont know how).

    CD ROM Drives revert to PIO mode when they have trouble reading a CD - that could be part of your problem
