Anyone have any thoughts / suggestions??
thanks

Add more memory ??

What is your hardware spec, how many contribs do you have installed and what are they ?

Check active processes using
top -i

[cc_skavenger]

AMD 1400
768M ram
2 - 20GB hd in raid 1
Base 5.6 install, going to upgrade when users are transfered over and system works.

Will check top -i

thanks

thanks anyway,

Wiped and reloaded and got one of my many types of backups to load.
