I've noticed some slightly strange behavior out of my system for a while now. Every now and then, it'll run too fast, like I flipped an old-school "Turbo" button and everything is accelerated. The system clock is running about 2-3 times faster, the cursor is blinking twice as rapidly, Flash animations are just screaming by when they should be playing out slower, etc.
It's usually fixed with a reboot or quick shutdown/reboot, but it is rather annoying. And it plays havoc with a game, like America's Army. Everything is out of sync.
I've updated the BIOS, and scanned for viruses, and made sure I had the latest updates/patches for everything. Any ideas what's causing something like this? Heat? A Windows bug?
