Sound/Video prob on laptop

My laptop is driving me nuts.

I have iTunes and Windows Media Player and every time I play a tune or a video, the sound "stutters" for want of a better word and sometimes even sounds like it has slowed down a bit (like a cassette that has stretched) - then after about twenty seconds it eventually levels out.

Have just noticed that each stutter is accompanied by a flashing hard disk light of equal duration.

The memory spec is ok 512MB RAM

The local computer guy has no idea why it's doing it as I have no other heavy programs on board the machine.

It has a 60GB hard disk with 45GB left.

Can anyone advise me on what might be wrong?

Thanks
