If the D flag in the ps line means the same on your system as on mine
you might
have problem.  D usually stands for a process waiting for I/O, and if it
don't leave
that state it means that it never completes.  The W flag normally stands
fro swapped out, and
you also seems to have nothing of the process resident.

You don't have any hardware complaints in messages?
