1. Putting EMERGENCY in your thread title doesn't make it any more urgent for anyone else

2. If you want help, ya gotta supply some information!

3. "Help!" is redundant. That's what this forum is about.

Let us help you:

1. What applications are you running?

2. Is this repeatable even after restarting your computer?

3. Have you run all your software updates?

4. Have you repaired your permissions?

This is a start... we just need a LOT more information before we can help.

Could be a runaway process in the background using up all of your RAM (check your print queue--it happens a lot). It could also be a failing hard drive. Back up your data.
