check out the awesome trick this netbook learned. the computer belongs to a friend but he pretty much just gave it to me because he hated it so much. tap just a little too hard, it freezes. it would make sense if you picked it up and shook it like a disobedient baby, but it will actually do it if I'm typing and just press a key a little too hard. next step is to take off the crappy Vista basic and if that doesn't fix it, I'm smashing it lol.

HAHAHAHHA! that is fucking hilarious!
Does it make that noise when the volume is completely down? It could be the platter on the HD sticking..... I wouldnt think a software issue would cause a freeze like that.

nope, its totally silent without music playing. and believe me, that is not the only issue. there's roughly 30 other tricks it can do that I've never seen on any other computer and it's made it quite clear to me that there isn't going to be a 'simple fix' for it lol.
