(Second time doing this... here's hoping it'll go better than before.)
About a year ago, I was ill-fortunate to purchase an ASUS FX503VM laptop.
SPECS:

The laptop seemed to be a good deal at the time, going at a relatively decent price (around $900), and getting decent reviews. However, I've been riddled with nothing but issues since day one ranging from audio pops (which I managed to fix through a bunch of trial and error), occasional audio drop-out/delay when playing a game off the HDD (likely due to the game streaming data off of the hard drive), occasional stutter and lockups when surfing the web (though, of my own admission, I DO tend to have a lot of tabs open--I'm... a bit of a tab maniac. XD), and, of course, the dreaded stutter and random pausing when playing a game that, otherwise, plays at 60fps.
At first I thought it was my hard drive, as when I moved some games over to the built-in SSD, my gaming problems were fixed, so I brought a new HDD to replace the one that came with the laptop, and it worked... for a few weeks to a month, then it was back to stuttertown for me.
And now, I think it's getting worse, as audio dropouts and delays are getting worse for games that I have installed to the HDD and even games that I've installed to the SSD are occasionally stuttering.
The kicker for me is that my previous laptop, the ASUS G751JT, didn't suffer from any of these problems, despite running on inferior hardware (in comparison to this laptop, at least).

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is there anything I can do to fix any of these issues? And if not, what laptop would you recommend I purchase over this? At this point, I've damn-near tried everything and I'm at my wit's end, I'm about ready to sell this laptop. Asus won't be getting any money out of me after this, I assure you.
Anyway, any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
