1048 RAM
GeForce FX5500 256mb
Seagate ST380021A 55Gb
plus I live in the tropics without any air conditioning.

Any help is appreciated. Thx!
check your swap file.. check the disk for errors. It sounds like the size of the mod is thrashing your hard drive. Windows does a terrible job at keeping files orgnized so defrag every couple weeks
Thanks for the reply.

I'll defrag as soon as I finish my patrol!

No, kidding, defragging now!
Yep it does sound like a hard drive error it might be overheating working so hard you may need a desk fan to blow some cool air around it :hmm:
great suggestion...I was also thinking that it might not be a bad idea to clean the heat sink for the cpu and apply new thermal past too (if yours uses thermal paste instead of the lil sticky pad)
