Hi all! 
Been having this problem for a while now and just can't solve it...
At random times Kubuntu will become a bit slow, i can feel this by some lag in the mouse pointer movement. This has become a tell tale sign of impending doom in that my hard drive will then go crazy and the entire computer will slow to a crawl (ie: move the mouse and wait about 30secs for the pointer to respond and jump across the screen) and eventually I need to press the reset button on my case since I can't intervene. Even leaving it for hours, the hard drive whirrs like mad. It's almost as though its accessing a humungous file or something. I've no idea what is causing this to happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
