    I don't think it's the motherboard. Is this a home built machine or from a PC manufacturer like Dell or HP etc?

    Personally, I'd be looking at more ram and maybe the speed of your hard disk(s). Normally 6gb would be fine, but not when you want to keep so many Adobe apps open as well as multiple browser instances etc. Look at the fact that your FireFox uses 1GB of memory alone.

    Personally, I run 12 GB. I also have multiple hard drives and make sure my Adobe scratch disks are on a separate drive than my OS.

    If the issue arises when Creative Suite is open, it could also be something like bad font(s), sketchy 3rd party plugins etc.
