[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647439, member: 56379"] Thanks for all the info Lisa. From my experience the rebooting and swap file issue stuff relates to: - amount of ram installed - number of hours a person uses a computer/day (since more hours of use/day adds up to the computer doing more "things"/day…than someone who only uses their computer 1-2 hours/day). - specific tasks done on the computer. One thing that differs between what you do on your computers…and what I do on my computers…is online gaming. I might do 2-3 hours of online gaming/day…and maybe online gaming does something that causes the swap file to grow more quickly. And this translates into the beachballs showing up sooner…and thus needing to reboot more often. - Nick [/QUOTE]
