Weird CPU-problem

Hi everybody,

I've the weirdest problem I've ever experienced. Sometimes my computer comes
to a sort of standstill, with 100% CPU-usage and some usage of my HD, but
without any reason for it. My pointer is behind on my moves and my music
starts to stammer when it happens. My computer is totally clean, I formatted
it yesterday and I've got all the protection needed. Is there anyone who
heard about this before or knows anything about this problem? I thank you in
advance.

Roy

Open the task manager, and look at the processes. Click on the column for
CPU. See in order, what the percentages of use are. This way, you will know
what operations are using your resources. From there, you should be able to
determine why there is so much activity.

And example is: If you see explorer, and or the virus scanner being very
busy, this means that something is going on in the background that is not
showing directly. You may also directly see the application that is the
cause.

It is also possible that there is something that is trying to update itself,
and it is not able to. Turn off the automatic updating as a test. Not all
softwares work through the auto updating, but this is a start for finding
the cause.

try running this in safe mode, maybe you can narrow it down to a
process causing the problem. find the process that is using 100% CPU.
maybe a bug in that program/process.
try using another program to run your movies, try VideoLAN. and try
music in winamp. see if same error.
you're gonna have to do more investigating
try changing the hdd, try changing the ram. look at the virtual memory
settings. do an online virus scan anyway just in case.
