    This is weird. I was watching a video clip on YouTube. All of a sudden, The Monitor went dark, the PC locked up and there was a noise that sounded like a noisy rattling washing machine (or something) It seemed to be coming out of the speakers.
    I did a hard shutdown and restarted with no problem and nothing in the event logs!
    Anyone ever run into this? I've never heard anything like it.
    Thanks

    Do you use AIM?
    When a friend enters, his/her sound will come over your speakers.
    I'm not sure what caused the screen to go black on YouTube.

    No, I don't use aim. Thanks for the reply.

    Well I had time to sit down and take a look at the problem. It appears to be the video clip. I went back on YouTube and watched several different clips. As soon as I went to the clip that was running during the problem. The same thing happened. At least it's not my system.
    Thanks!
