Okay, I have over 9 gigs of spare room on my main hard drive, so I don't think var is filling up. I've set prelinking to be off (I think), and yet still, YUM continues to freeze my computer.

If I try to do a search or install, about half the time it will go nuts on the hard drive, I lose control of the mouse, and eventually I have no choice but to hard reset.

What's wrong with YUM?

Probably nothing wrong with yum ... instead probably something wrong with rpm or maybe just the rpm database.

Since you have installed packages outside the centos repos, it will be hard to track.

try doing this:

cd /var/lib/rpm rm __db.00* rpm --rebuilddb

after that completes, try running yum.
