k so here is what i have done now.... i removed 512 ,b of ram from the system, and only have 512 of good working ram it it now. We'll see how it is going. I have a sneaking feeling it is the harddrive that is going, which after over 2 years of use is not all that bad... (plus i want a bigger hd  )
i found these messages in my dmesg.
Quote: ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
is there a command line i can run to test the harddrives speed? as well, if it is a new harddrive i am going to need, how hard is it to add a sata drive on (local dealer has 500gb sata drives on for $145 (canadian) right now...
Cheers!

It's a mailer (MTA). The question becomes why do you have a mailer running on your system.

Solved it!
Thank you all for your help, it ended up being a bios issue with acpi... here is the notes from the bios update
Quote: * Adds code to issue hard drive "freeze lock" command to all drives on return from S3 power state
* Updates copyright message to include Lenovo
* Adds new microcode for 0F29. Patch ID was 0021h, now 002Eh.
did the update, and its working great now.... Thank you all for your help!
cheers!
