[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1547565, member: 46727"] Can you post a screen shot of your Activity Monitor? Click on the memory tab before taking the screen shot. We'd like to see exactly what's going on and how much virtual memory is being used at the same time. Also, you mentioned that you repaired your hard drive with Disk Utility. Disk Utility will only repair file and folder problems. If there are any underlying problems with the drive such as its hardware, Disk Utility can not see those. You will need to use a SMART utility in order to dive in deeper. SMARTReporter can be downloaded from the Mac App store and does a good job of ferreting out problems. Don't forget to make a backup as soon as you can. Use Time Machine or a cloning program such as Carbon Copy Cloner. [/QUOTE]
