I've had this problem a while ago when i was experimenting with Slackware. I used a partition to boot a Slackware DVD and after slack finished installing I rebooted my computer and I could actually hear my computer processing everything in a high pitched audible beep.
Then I did the Same thing with an openSUSE 11.0 DVD and the processor wasn't getting raped, but it hung while shutting down the computer.
Now, I have been running on Kubuntu 8.10 ((((OMG MY SWAP JUST STARTED WORKING!!!!! THANX SYSTEM MONITER, FOR TELLING ME!... )))) and everything was running fine untill i tried the same partition live cd with Ubuntu 8.10, I just can't stay away from Gnome, and it did the same thing just up untill i just told you it started working. I'm just wondering is it possibly an internal thing or and OS thing?
edit: ok so I rebooted my system and its still beeping and the swap is not in use again... movies run blotchy and its unbearable.... but that my computer for you

It could just be a Ubuntu issue because I don't have this problem with both openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 beta 2. They both use 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernel and no swap problem.

mine has the same kernel but for some reason when i use the installation from hdd sometimes it just wants to not unmount my ram or some crap. i think im just gonna burn cd's for a while. But its not limited to Ubuntu because it happened to me on slackware as well

Why would it want to unmount your ramdisk? The only thing outside of the kernel that would cause your swap to not be used is a bad partition. Maybe remake your swap and see if that doesn't help.

I figured it out!!! It was a problem with my power hookup.... I unplugged it from the back and plugged it in again and now everything is working phenomenally. Thanks vendion for the suggestions though.
