Freezing - Music&Video Jamming... HELP!

Symptoms:

If I play Media Player, Real Player, Internet TV/Radio on Winamp, Sonicstage or indeed any style of media player, it keeps randomly jumping and distorting on tracks and that, like a dodgy cd if you must...

At the same time, if I am online and scrolling down a screen or what like, the screen freezes and distorts also...

Best way I can describe it is like someone with a nervous twitch?

Now I have ran Norton, SpySweeper and AdAware scanners and all seems to be clear!

No corrupted files either as its happened with all 6 DVD's we've rented from BlockBuster this week and on brand new CD's!

ANY IDEAS what is causing this? It happened before but sorted itself out! Now it's back again!

In case it helps it's a few months old Sony Vaio PCG-GRT996VP

After this, I will request help with settings on my firewall etc but thats another thing, it's no good surely just switching it off so I can use Apps online etc etc... being behind the University LAN firewall doesn't reassure me either!

Thanks for any help, suggestions in advance!

Just installed the drivers update for it on the Vaio Support Link Site and still no change... its happening a lot still and is getting very frustrating!

Before I do this, will I lose files such as mp3's in my documents, photo's I have stored and so on?
