I'm having major problems here!
It started yesterday when I was playing SC demo...it ran really slow.
I went to check CPU usage and it was pegged at 50% and bouncing to 90% ( I had already quit playing SC...so there was nothing running) ( I wish I had glances at the processes page before I did)
I rebooted and it quieted down..from 0% to 4%...which I guess is normal.
However I would get occasional spikes from 6% to 26%..only lasting a second or so.
Now today I left my rig running for most of the day ( no programs running) and it was back to 50%
When I shut it down to reboot..it gave me an error message that several programs were running.
CCAP ( Norton anti virus)..I was not running a scan or anything ( I never get this message on shutdown or any other..it just shuts down)
Msmsg ..is this the auto update program?
And one other..I forgot to write it down
Also my processes list jumps from 56 to 64 occasionaly...but they go by too fast to see what they were.
I tried watching the processes page..but again it goes too fast
I have run an AV program and several different spyware programs...but nothing came up!
Ideas on how to narrow down whats going on?
It is a new rig ( One month old) and AV protection was up and running before I plugged the modem in.
