I have had this Toshiba laptop for two years now, and never had this
problem, but the fan keeps going into overdrive and then the computer
shuts down (overheating, I presume).
Some observations.
- Even when I am doing nothing "System" process out of the blue starts
running, utilizing 50% of CPU. Or sometimes it is svchost doing 50%
before my computer shuts down.
- Ran NOD32. Nothing found.
- NOD32 support staff suggests running their product in safe mode.
They think I have Trojan. In safe mode, it's much worse. I can't do
anything it seems. Sometimes it shuts down while starting. I can't
even run their scan because the computer keeps shutting down
(presumably due to overheating).
So what is the deal with either System or svchost screwing up with
me? I can't tell you if they are still causing problems in safe mode
because I can't do much before the computer shuts down.
I am suspecting something malicious, but the laptop seems just to
sensitive to CPU utilization, so I am stuck between a rock and a hard
place. Thanks.
