yet another problem (2 Viewers)

[Gibbatron]

My firends laptop went like this. He never figured out how to fix it. I would say reformatting would be the simplest way to ensure that you fix the problem. After you follow Phoenix's reccomdation though.

Leave em alone. They're in a mutual relationship.

 

[scaredytiger]

cbf looking at the other threads.

When was the last time you did a defrag? What programs operate on start up?
etc.

If you have a cheapish laptop, you need to keep it nice and clean.

try
ctrl alt del > performance > CPU usage %

i once had this problem, my usage was over 36%, i think its meant to stay at around 5-10%.
If % is over 20, theres a problem, try deleting some virtual memory
+ wat everyone else is saying (defrag, etc..)

gluck

Its system lag, check your RAM, it might have died.

You're now what, the fifth person to suggest this?

Lol...

JUST CHECK THE GODDAMN RAM!!!!

mamoz had a look at my laptop today =/

she said my RAM is fine..

but my CPU is off the charts. fluctuates from 20% to 100% =S

so she told me to end some processes. i did. and it made no difference.

now wat?

so 1. defrag

wat else?

 

[xMaNx]

Defrag, system cleanup

if not, re-format, it's easier

Did you look in task manager at which processes were using the CPU intensively?

 

[vannilla_latte]

yeh. internet explorer, word, music player and "desktop windows manager"

 

[ohexploitable]

yeh. internet explorer, word, music player and "desktop windows manager"

they shouldn't be using lots of cpu time, and DWM is necessary for Aero

mamoz had a look at my laptop today =/

you mean you had a look at your own laptop
