OK, so apparently, the problem is in two processes: DellDataVault.exe and DellDataVaultWiz.exe which I spotted using MooO System Monitor. So, all that's left is to remove them from the system!

| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | neuron | @MadTomVane This happen all the time, not just when playing videos - even while I'm typing this. | |
| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:36 | comment | added | neuron | @DavidPostill Not sure what "smart" means. It's an SSD. btw, I just tried MooO System Monitor as well, but it wasn't able to tell me anything. | |
| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:35 | comment | added | DavidPostill♦ | It could be a failing hard drive (paging to disk). Does your drive have smart? | |
| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:29 | comment | added | E.V.I.L. | Playing videos would all happen in the RAM. So I wouldn't think it has to do with the SSD. | |
| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | neuron | Hmmm, so it's on to reinstalling drivers, I guess. Any way I can check if something's wrong with my hardware? | |

| Feb 15, 2015 at 14:17 | comment | added | neuron | I looked at that question, and tried Process Manager. The spikes that appear in CPU usage when the laptop freezes are labeled as "Interrupts". What does that mean? | |
