I
ironside
Hi,
I have a problem that has been driving me mad for weeks. My CPU usage
regularly shoots up to 100%, making my computer unusable. I've been
told to do a complete Reinstall, which I did - no improvement. I have
had a million and one Spyware things running and a regularly updated
Norton Antivirus. So I am positive it is not a virus or spyware.
When I check my taskmanager, the 100% is being divided up in various
sizes and keeps jumping from one process to another. One second I have
99% on Taskmgr.exe, the next I have 33% on taskmgr, lsass and other
random processes. While this is going on, my computer will effectively
hang for a good while, and if I'm on the Internet (it's AOL), the
connection will terminate.
After a while, however, the computer will start working again as if
nothing happened.
Does anyone have ANY idea what it could be? I'd be eternally grateful,
and it would mean my computer would not have to go through the window.
Any help would be BRILLIANT!
Thanks!
