</div>Sounds similar to what happens to me (except the flash/firefox thing).<br>
It happens with graphics heavy stuff and during heavy compiles<br>
(kernel..). Mouse is only sometimes responsive for a few seconds.<br>
thought it was gone with 2.6.29 but it came back after a few weeks..<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, overheating or something with<br>
graphics since it also happened when I had installed windows a few<br>
years ago to play at a LAN-party.<br>
<br>
Now it starts to get annoying, I'm just waiting for the perfect laptop<br>
that can be used as audio workstation..<br>
