Canadaready 9,437 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Seems to be running at 100% cpu usage an aweful lot. Going to try a bunch of things but I assume heat could be one of the issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemeanie6 3 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Have they checked what programs are using 100% cpu? right-click on taskbar and goto task manager, then click on processes tab Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 svchost.exe can sometimes take up alot of cpu and can be ended or a rogue app or virus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledWeegie123 1,426 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 as the other guys said check task manager in the process list,will tell you at right had side what resources each open app is using,the svchost.exe is usually outgoing connections from your pc its not uncommon to have a few of these running at once,if one is taking a lot of resources then it may well be a virus/spyware thats connecting to the internet. heat wouldnt be causing the cpu to run at 100% but obviously with it running at 100% then it will be running alot hotter trial and error m8 im afraid run adaware2007 (free) spybot search and destroy(free) avg antivirus(free) if they dont find any problems then its most likely something thats just been installed thats causing it.

davy1shoe 63 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Have a look at how many toolbars are running when you look at a webpage that tends to be a big giveaway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadaready 9,437 Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Ya, all that stuff I have done and always due. Also use EMS free surfer which I highly recommend. I seemed to have cured them for now. My gf has a little sister who messed with it all the time and I have to come in with the cleaners. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
