First, what OS are you running GIMP on?

Actually, it sounds like you're out of RAM and your computer starts 
using the disk. This happens if you work with large images and/or have a 
small amount of RAM. You might want to tweak the tile cache:

No, so in that case, figure out a step-by-step instruction on how to 
reproduce the problem you are having.

I'm not using GIMP shop.

Just to double check, you are using the actual Gimp and not Gimp-Shop, 
correct?  There have been people who have posted to this list about 
problems with Gimp-Shop (which, in my experience anyway, was a major 
bug fest and crashed all over the place.), but Gimp Shop is NOT an 
official Gimp package, but something of a hacked up fork off the real 
Gimp.

Gimp locks up too often on my computer.  It just stops working
and the
screen turns gray and then the entire computer stops responding to
commands so I can only shut down by pushing the power button and
rebooting.

No other program on my machine locks up except gimp.
