There's a few weird things about my computer that have cropped up since I bought it about 2.5 years ago.
-Sometimes it'll just freeze and the sound will go insane. Specifically, it's like if you took the last split second whatever audio was playing and created a loud grating buzz out of it. This stops on its own, but damn if it isn't weird and annoying. happens around 2-4 times a week.
-YouTube audio just won't work sometimes in Firefox. The video will play, but there won't be any sound. The audio for every other program works though.
-Sometimes I can't place the text cursor anywhere in Firefox. I'll click in the Google search bar for instance, and there won't be a blinking cursor there and anything I type in won't show up.
-I get occasional "dead" pixels. They just look like they go a strange color, but I can type over them and they go away. I don't know what the hell is going on here, I'm scared I might be slowly causing harm to the computer somehow.
Specs if necessary:
I browse the internet heavily, play a lot of video off Hulu and such, play games occasionally, and do some extensive work on Photoshop and the like.
