1. Unplug the AC Power Adapter
2. Remove the Battery
3. Depress and hold the Power Button for a 20-count
4. Replace Battery, AC Power Adapter and power up the system.

This should clear your issue. I had this happen the other night out of the blue and followed the above process and after power up the issue was gone. Have no idea the cause.

Could also be software related. Depending on what you have running/installed, etc., could be a resource issue - could be an OS issue, could be a configuration issue. If you are seeing this frequently then something else is going on.

Sounds like DPC latency to me. Check out the thread in this forum.
