Make sure you are saving to a local drive - not an external drive. You can always copy files to an external drive later.

Do not force close it because you will loose file and nothing can help you beside that Photoshop may recover file when relaunching it. Perhaps you are working with huge file sizes or you have many memory consuming apps running in background?
