wow,

look in your log files whatever they are called for you
XFree86.0.log
kern.log
daemon.log
sys.log
servicelog

anything strange or repeated error messages at the bottom of any of those when this is happening ?

didn't find anything speical...

I once noticed that certain applets gobble a lot of CPU. I dunno, try running a different DE, like gnome or kde, and don't use any applets that aren't 100% neccessary. Run this for a few days. This should help you narrow your problem down a lot.

thank u
i'll try
