A couple of days ago I was working on a basic project in Photoshop, when out of no where my screen goes black... I actually thought my PB screen had died. My battery had half a charge left and worked fine when I turned it back on.

Today I was surfing in safari where it froze, no response what so ever. I left it a couple of minutes while I made a coffee but in the end had to hold the power button.

Should I be worried?

As a side-note (I don't believe they have anything to do with my other problems). Just over the last year my shutdown and startup speeds have got a lot slower. My PB normally just goes to sleep so I don't notice. It's using the same software it did from day one, any suggestions of what could be slowing it down?
