Alienware 17 R4 Typing Issues

I just got my new Alienware Laptop yesterday and everything was working fine, but I started to notice when I was in a browser (Chrome) and trying to type something into a box, it would stop typing, and it looks like it was going away from the box.  Then it would go back to it being highlighted.  Also outside of a browser window, I would right click on the desktop, and the menu would come up, then it would disappear.  I'm not sure what is going on with it, but the loading circle next to the mouse pointer comes up every few seconds.  Sorry my description of the problem is a little weird, but I'm not sure how else to describe it!  This is a Model AW17R4-7000SLV-PUS
