I have yet to figure out why my Mandrake 7.0-2 does this... Perhaps some of you will
have a solution.
This happens in both Gnome and KDE. When I'm using several apps at once (Staroffice,
Gimp, Toppage, Netscape - not necessarily all
of these at one time), some process would just take over and use all the CPU to
process something that makes the harddrive work real
hard. Meanwhile I can barely get the mouse or keyboard to respond. Usually not
enough of a response to do anything. If I don't
reset the machine, this can go on for up to an hour and then it would end up at the
Penguin Login prompt. What is causing this?
It's driving me crazy!!!
Thanks,
Seve
