No freeze in about an hour, means it is gone (was getting freezes by the seconds). So, I guess this was indeed caused by caching and that particular HD? Or, could it be some other configuration file (gnome or xorg related)?
Here some info about HD in case anybody wants to know: Model Family: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X family Device Model: MAXTOR 6L080L4 Serial Number: 664134116727 Firmware Version: A93.0500 User Capacity: 80,054,059,008 bytes Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: 5 ATA Standard is: ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1 Local Time is: Wed Aug 22 00:42:32 2007 CEST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
