Hello, my HD does strange noises/bep sounds when visiting specific pages, and it happens only with Firefox, Google Chrome and IE works fine.

If i don't move the slider there's no noise, but once i start to scroll the page up and down it looks like something is scratching the HD.

These are the pages where i usually have that thing.

On this one the sounds is not very noticeable. http://tf2r.com/raffles.html

But when i start to scroll up and down on this page it goes crazy. http://sapi.techieanalyst.net/?page=youdonthave&id=76561198036215543&op=2.0.2

Is the memory cache and the image cache enabled and working if you check the cache usage on the about:cache page?

You can check the browser.cache.*enabled on the about:config page.
