You mean the harddrive is dying?
I restarted laptop several times and I don't get these errors anymore.
But still it gets very slow sometimes and I am not doing anything.
System monitor though shows 100% cpu usage, but when I open it to look
what programs use it - it opens very very slow, but when it's opened, it
shows the same programs using several percent of the cpu.

Tried that and didn't see any difference...
It's really annoying...
