I'm planning to do a hard reset, but before i do, does anybody know what might be causing this?
Any chance it is this? (from post #1)

Open up your task manager. I'm willing to bet you've got way more stuff going on in there than you should. End some tasks and if necessary, soft reset; the problem will go away. Something is wrong with the Intrepid memory management, I think; it just lets things run until the processor is so bogged down it can't do anything.
If not that, others have mentioned problems with the SMS app on this phone, so you are definitely not alone....though I haven't heard of this specific issue only with the SMS app. You might want to start a new thread, as SMS issues aren't the focus of this thread.
