Recently (the last month or so) I have been having a problem with CPU
usage. Sometimes when I finished playing Civ III for an extended period of
time I would notice that my entire computer was running extremely slow. I
would bring up the task mananger and check the perfomance tab and the CPU
Usage section would say 100%. To remedy this (temporarily at least) I would
shut down the computer and then turn it back on. This usually fixed the
problem and I just accreditted it to playing Civ III for too long (if any one
has played any Civ games, you can understand how playing for "just an hour"
often turns into more).
This morning however, I logged onto my computer, and it was already
running slow, I checked the task manager, and it said 100%. So I tried my
normal remedy and it didn't work. Now the performance tab says noting but
100% usage, even when I have just logged on and no programs are running. I
don't know a whole lot about computers, but this seems like sometinhg akin to
a car redlining. I have tried shutting the computer off and leting it sit
before turning it back on with no success. Any posts would be greatly
appreciated.
