835961	2009-12-02 23:24:00	just got my computer back for the third time, new install XP proffesional, and the hard drive was only half there. So partitioned, well he did via logmein, and formatted other half, and now sometimes I open an exe the computer slows right down, and in the task manager it says 100%, then sometimes drops back. Even dupdetector does it, and some of my big fish games, won't even run without being very jumpy. Yes, I have put a lot of my stuff back in, no, there isn't a virus! Firefox is also stealing mem usage, when I started it back up under 5 minutes ago, usage was 35k already up to 145,000kbut this time it actually seems to be holding around 145,000 mark, where earlier today it was up to 300,000 real quick. Duh, I complain and it comes right. Can java/flash cause this sort of stuff, or is it just something I have to put up with. Do I send it back to the techie, once again. 3rd time since August, but longest time I have had it without it completely crashing. System just over a year old, AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 4000+ 211Ghz 2 gig ram TIA	supergran (108)
835962	2009-12-02 23:43:00	It came back from some tech- like this - after a fresh install ???? Sounds like it wasn't done correctly.	wainuitech (129)
835963	2009-12-03 00:10:00	I think the tech formatting the other partition is not relevant to your current problem probably the timing is coincidence. 100% CPU usage can be caused by anything from malware to a bad video codec (causing 100% usage when browsing folders etc) Is it really the apps running at 100% or maybe a Svchost.exe?, next time it happens look in Task manager.

835964	2009-12-03 03:17:00	I open an exe the computer slows right down, and in the task manager it says 100%, What says 100% specifically - the app you try to open or some other exe? That would be the first thing we need to establish.	pctek (84)
835965	2009-12-03 03:43:00	I suggest a Hijack log, and just pin point the highest objects for us to view. But sounds pretty damn bad actually. Bad techie.	Chris09 (15218)
835966	2009-12-03 06:53:00	Ok, so I will first check out what is doing it, but the firefox problem seems to have settled but still going up, but slowly. Back once I see what is doing it. I have had the task manager open, as I got sick of everything seeming to freeze. Ok, I had dupdetect and skype open, and it was 100%. It said skype at 50 something, and dupdetect 39 but now back to 50. It is NOT the scvhost.exe, Yes, it come back from the teckie like this and no, I am not happy but as I havent' really had the computer going properly since the end of August, I am hesitant to send it back yet again. Ok not sure if I am doing this proper, but will add two screen shots. The first one of the task manager, the next with the performance screen farm3.static.flickr.com farm3.static.flickr.com It come back with a new video card and new motherboard	supergran (108)
835967	2009-12-03 07:00:00	If it affects FF more than anything else, it could be an addon	Speedy Gonzales (78)
835968	2009-12-03 07:07:00	Doesn''t affect that more than other things, just that this is what I use most. Was going to go and uninstall java, and then try hijack this, if no one can come up with other suggestions. I did leave a message on the tech answer phone 3 days ago, but he ignoring me I think LOL Is the split screen on the performance tab the two halves of the hard drive? Sorry for dumb question, but never had that before	supergran (108)
835969	2009-12-03 07:29:00	No it is two parts of a dual core processor. where in NZ are you?	gary67 (56)
