I have a problem where my macbook will randomly hang
I'll switch tabs in Firefox, or close a finder window, or start typing text into a form, and system will freeze. Sometimes I get a beachball, sometimes not. Sometimes I can move my mouse, sometimes not. The only constant is that any audio/video programs like iTunes stop making audio/video. After a few seconds, like magic, it will un-freeze, and act like nothing has happened.
It has eluded my every attempt at diagnosis: I cannot reliably reproduce the behavior, and it seems to occur regardless of what peripherals, programs, etc I'm using. Could someone point me in the right direction? or even some tips on diagnosing this sort of thing? It's truly infuriating

Thanks!
