Freezing and buzzing noise

Hi,

So i have a Dell Inspiron 13 5000 Series with a i5 Processor (Driver model is WDDM 2.6 and my Graphics card is a Graphics 620). For the past few weeks i have had an issue with my laptop, when i stream videos like Youtube and Netflix at random times when watching them, my laptop will Freeze for around 1-2 seconds and while it has frozen it will also make a buzzing sound with it, after   1-2 seconds it will go back to normal again. I have a feeling it could be the Graphics Card but i'm unsure if it is or not.

Any help or advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Nick

That sounds to me like you have a HDD that has had an error and is going through a recalibration operation. This would also explain the pause that occurs. Try running a CHKDSK surface analysis on the drive.

Hope this helps,
