This problem seems to have major dilemma to my system. What I want to know how do I go about fix this problem can the kernel fix this problem? Is some of my files corrupt? do I need to remove anything in my system or reinstall the system all together.

Same here i think is a yiff-server bug...
Please remove it, open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude remove yiff-server

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
