So, I'm in a bit of a confused state right now. For the past week or so, I've been noticing sudden slow downs of my computer. Like, really bad slow downs. Either I'd be in FL working and everything will start to sound all glitchy, or I'd be playing Flatout 2 and everything will..just.....run........frame..............by..................frame.
So, I would assume that something is whoring up the CPU when this shit happens and I did a little test.
Test 1:
The little drop in PF Usage was when I closed mIRC, IM, etc. I did not touch anything after I closed the programs.
Test 2:
This was taken after I shut down every single thing I could. Stuff running from the system, stuff running from admin, local service, etc. I did not touch anything after I closed the programs.
Test 3:
This was taken after I restarted my computer. I waited a minute so that everything could load, after which I did not touch my computer.
I noticed that there's a lot of major fluctuation in the green line. I went on my sisters computer (which is quite outdated technology wise), yet her CPU Usage stays from 0-10%.
So I'm curious as to what a solution might be. I've already scanned my hard drive as well as defragged it, yet I don't really see much changes.
