Hi Group,
I'm having this problem where about 10 minutes after I boot up my Pc goes
into a state of being partially crashed, with the cursor becoming very
sluggish and jumping around wildly. The CPU (dual core) is running at 50 to
70%. This is with no programs open. I looked at processes running and
nothing seems unusual. There are about 10 instances of svchost running
(some over 10,000), not sure if that's a problem or not. This happens every
couple hours and lasts about 10 minutes. Seems to be getting worse. Any
help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry, but this isn't enough information for us to give you a
focused answer. It could be software - viruses/malware - or it could be
hardware - overheating or other component failure.
