  • Vanity: 100% CPU usage

    I have a Dell notebook that's about 5 years old. Windows 7. It works fine most of the time, but every few hours it goes into a mode where the CPU goes straight to 100% usage and stays there, making it unusable. Sometimes it self corrects after 15 minutes or an hour, or sometimes I have to do a hard reboot. Then it works fine again for a while. Any suggestions?

    Yes, I'm logged in. Tanned, rested, ready, cheese, moose, sister.... I'm trying to help a senior citizen on a fixed income, in my neighborhood, with a computer issue. He bought an HP desktop back when Win 7 first was issued (I think Nov. 2009) and all was well until about a month ago. Now, whenever he boots up the PC, a message pops up saying his copy of Win7 isn't genuine. He's called both HP and Microsoft and each company blames the other. Most of the time, his phone calls go to India and he has a hard time understanding...

    I have kind of done this before. I have been working to delete a virus all morning on this borrowed computer. I think I have succeeded in the main. The problem is the virus did cause some problems. Some exe files will not execute. It is probably a registry value that has been changed. This is a BORROWED computer. I was using it when it apparently got infected. So I have a duty to fix this. It an an EEPC netbook running Windows XP. So the registry value at exe in the command line should be what? SO how do...

    I am trying to reinstall WimXP on an older Dell machine that has accepted it many times before. And now it freezes about 3/4ths the way through installation. I tried taking out a memory chip since it has slots for two of them and even relacing one chip with the other with the same results.No, I'm not going to buy a Mac. Yes, I am going to try a linux distribution. SLAX in particular because I'm burning the disc right now.

    Fellow Freepers, I know vanities are frowned upon but I am in desperate need of your help. I am a very busy stay-at-home, home schooling Mom, and pastors wife who needs help with an extremely annoying computer glitch. I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop running Windows XP with serv. pack 2. In the middle of typing all of a sudden my curser will jump randomly up the screen taking with it whatever I was typing at the moment. It inserts whatever I typed into the middle of another word or even a blank line. This happens no matter what program...
