Over the last week, about 3 times, when i turn on the computer it will load and then all the desktop icons will flash randomnly like crazy, and when i go into IE the page will reload when i try to type something, and when i open a new page the title bar and the loading text at the bottom of the page will flash like crazy and not load the page. Ive tried restarting the computer a couple times but it hasnt helped today, the last two times ive just turned the computer off and come back another day and it will be fine?

What should i do?

This has happened to me for the last few months now.
Nothing is coming up on the various virus scans I've been doing and it's extremely frustrating.

Please help!
