[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1640155, member: 305283"] Bottom line, you don't have enough memory. You need to up it to at least 4 gig, preferably 6 gig. You're using swap space on the drive because of not enough memory. That's the drive noise you hear. It's reading and writing more than usual due to swapping things in and out of the available memory.
