    was just searching the net.. looking at stupid funny videos then all of a sudden the screen goes black. was off for a few seconds.. then screen started to flicker.. from black to white. frame rate became horrible, when the mouse appeared on screen it jumped around alot.. im guessing the computer became very very slow... the only thing that would load was the task bar.. but sometimes just the circle windows logo (start button) would load..

    finally just held the alien button down. turned off. restart and i think its working..... im writing this so i guess its ok???

    my camera was beside, quickly made this video....
