i bought a BENQ T31 last year, i what i can say is, it is really annoying, because since the 1st day i bought it, when i try to play music, or just typing, it would get stuck and make a very weird screeching sound if i play music, what i mean stuck here is, all system not responding, so i need to push the power button 2 restart,it happens very often but i cant estimate when it will get stuck, its just happen sudddenly, at 1st i thought this is just a common issues, but until now, it is still like that and irritating me, i have tried many things, reformat, download new drivers, all other things and it is still like that, pls help me, my father has mistakenly destroyed the warranty receipt in the washing machine
