MacBook Pro starts suddenly scrolling through dropdown menu and with skipping error tone.

I've reinstalled the most recent operating system several times and run First Aid with Disk Utility several times. but after a certain amount of time, the cursor starts jumping and scrolling through the dropdown menu or whatever program I have open. Like it's running through all the possible things to click on. It's all accompanied by a stuttering error tone (ding, ding, ding, ding.) Below is the screen shot of Disk Utility. And also a video of the behavior. It tends to start when I am in the middle of video on YouTube, Quicktime or VLC.

If the restart, things are back to normal but only for a while and then it starts again.


Thoughts?

Two different runs about an hour apart.
