hey guys,
I've been having trouble with my dell 700m laptop running windows xp
sp2. After using the Internet my cpu levels go up to 100% and stay
there while i surf. If i stay on one page (ie read an article) they
drop, but peak again as i click more links. I have issues with the
system lagging. My mouse clickings, typing into forms, opening new
tabs, clicking links all take a noticeable lag and i have to wait for
it to complete to see the results. Some sites that are web intensive,
Google Reader, youtube.com, espn.com do cause the 100% utilization.
I can surf youtube.com without problems but if i play a video it
stutters as it plays and i have trouble performing tasks on my
computer. On google reader, i continue to get "oops...there was an
error" after each article and the site takes a good 10-15 seconds to
refresh with new articles/feeds.
I used to use firefox2 and i thought that it was the culprit and
changed to IE7. however, IE7 didn't make much of a difference. My
windows programs don't lag too much, except for WMP11, but i think
that's because it uses an Internet connection, but that's my reasoning.
When i start up the computer fresh, it works great, and everything
performs well. But the triggers (wmp11 ie7) cause it to begin utilizing
100% CPU. I've tried using process exp and i have a screen shot here.
It was taken after a few minutes of my restart and the cpu settled
down.
I am computer competent and have been able to resolve my comp issues
but this one seems to be a hardnut to crack. I've us virus scanners,
spyware removers, sfc /scannow and nothing has shown up. I dont want to
reinstall XP again because i just did it a few months ago. Its a system
lag and not a system crash so i can bear with it and but have restart
often to keep working but (out of laziness) i rather fix the problem
than just reformat.
I am not sure but i think it might be a driver conflict or some process
hogging the cpu. umm, i try to keep my drivers up to date and most of
them are. Or i'm thinking its some program/driver/device using my
internet connection. i cant be certain of them all though. I would
REALLLY appreciate any one's advice and help to fix this issue of mine.
Its been over a month and i want my computer back to normal.
