I'd recommend equipping your system with either enough RAM to function as a graphics editing station, or, supplying it with enough swap to handle such files without the kernel having to kill random processes in order to save itself. The price of SDIMMs are at an all time low lately.

The problem is that when i try to switch to one of the consoles(ttys) my monitor crashes - it shows the message "SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE 83,5 KHz 160,0 Hz".
