Hi Rachel, this looks like a system overload. The source generates too
much data so that the cpu will not leave any cycles for the rest of the
application. 

In the category "misc" there's a block called "throttle". Use it before
the FFT block. It will reduce the number of samples that will go into
the FFT. So the FFT function has less work. 

I also recently got involved with gnuradio the first time. Have a look
here:

This is a fantastic tutorial that should help you around these hurdles.
