CPU usage at 100% for no reason all the time. Any ideas
why?
I have lots of ideas why, but because you didn't give any information
about your computer, everything I would say is just a guess. Here is
generic troubleshooting information you should do:
1) scan with current antivirus ("current" means a version not earlier
than 2002 but using updated virus definitions); 2) remove spyware with
Spybot Search & Destroy (
www.security.kolla.de) and Ad-aware
(
www.lavasoftusa.com). Be sure to update these programs before running,
and it is a good idea to do virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete
temporary and Temporary Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services
programs from starting with Windows - see
www.blackviper.com for
services info and
www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm for programs
info - 5) look in Event Viewer for clues.
After you've done these steps, if you still have the problem or need
more help, please repost. Be sure to include information about your
computer (specs, Internet connection, types of programs you're running)
and what you've already done to troubleshoot.
