When you're looking at Task Manager do you have that little box that says "Show processes from all users" checked?

First instincts are that it could be spyware/virus working in the background, but there are always processes run by the SYSTEM user account you wouldn't see unless you had that checkbox checked.

And for all you know it could be a Windows service that doesn't necessarily list itself in Task Manager.

screw it tbh im gonna format my hard-drive and slap xp and put sp2 on it i dunno how its gonna go.


the things ive done is lower the clock speed of my cpu to see if that would change any thing and it didnt.

when i look at the cpu processe's it comes up at around 24% all the time but when i look in the actual windows it comes up with roughley 98% free process's on the unasigned process's somethings mucked up for sure. might need to buy a new cpu if its a hardware issue. that will have to wait till after xmas :(. il have to buy those opterons that ive been after itl cost a bomb i expect

I don't know what to tell you to do to fix it : /. I hope you're able to fix it soon.

in the end it was a software error it had messed up my ram count and my cpu usage -,


neither the ram or cpu were matching up in the individual measured process's in contrast to the over all perspective in the windows resource windows
