Hi, how are you? First of all in my signature are my specs. But, i bring it up here for you!

 

Intel® Core™ i5-3570k @ 3.8Ghz

Gigabyte GA Z77M-D3H

Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 @ 1666Mhz

Intel HD4000 @ 64MB [VGA]

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
Samsung SyncMaster P2350 23" VGA
CoolerMaster Extreme Series 500W
 
The thing is that, with a few open apps like 'Chrome' with one or two tabs, and a music app like 'Vox' the system sometimes hangs. The system is not slow by itself. The transitions and all are pretty smoth and fast. But, for excample if a do right click on the mouse to open the context menu, it takes 5 sec aprox to open. Too much spinning ball. Is it waiting for free memory?
Also the apps take too long to open.
 
Is a low-memory problem? I'm planning to get a dedicated video card, so all the 4GB memory is for the system, and not share it with the hd4000. This will solve something?
 
PS: Still not updated to 1.9.2 because i don't want to use the system like that. Do you think it may fix that?
 
Thanks in advance

Anyway, I have a similar issue, I think. At boot (not always, it's quite random), I get a lot of HDD activity when the login screen shows up. The mouse cursor moves VERY slow. This goes on for a few minutes and that's it, everything is fine after that.

Thanks for your answer. In my case, is backwars. When i start the system is flawless, but when open more apps, the system goes slow.
