The Ol' Freeze 'n' Beep, (Hopefully This Is The Right Place)

Lately my computer's been doing this one unusual little thing:

When I'd click on a link, usually on Facebook, to a web page containing a video - (not YouTube, more like a Yahoo News story or something, where the video is set to play automagically) - or a page with lots and lots of pictures, the computer would freeze for a few seconds, beep once, remain frozen a few more seconds, and then, go back to normal.

I call it "The Ol' Freeze 'n' Beep".

Lately, it's taken to doing it, (sometimes, not every time), when I type Facebook into the navigation bar. Seems to be more likely to do this when I've first brought the computer up, and Facebook is the first site I try to bring up.

Other sites seem perfectly fine, and I haven't noticed any other effects.

My computer uses Windows Vista, which is why I posted it here.

Any ideas what this might be, or what I can do about it? Is my computer about to go out on me? I've had it since 2008, with hardly any problems at all. Till this, anyway.

:eek:

Feels like a couple of months, maybe just about 8 weeks or so. Might just seem that long in my mind. It only seems to happen when I do something though, (click on a link or whatever). I haven't ran a Check disk, but I'll do that tonight.
