682909 2008-06-27 03:41:00 sorry bout that guys, I have cc cleaner, I have 1 1512 ram, Is there any way if I could show you a hijack that you guys would figur out what the problem is? mark1978 (13845)
682910 2008-06-27 03:44:00 You could post a hijackthis log, but it maybe the burning program youre using and nothing else. Thats causing it Speedy Gonzales (78)
682911 2008-06-27 03:47:00 If you want us to help you, answer the questions! :illogical
The PC is probably being slowed down by software running in the background, and may need more RAM, but we can get to that later. If a process is using 100% cpu, that will slow things down a lot.

..............

which process is using all the cpu?

682914 2008-06-27 04:13:00 Ctrl-alt-delete, view / select columns, tick PID

Then open up a command prompt

Type netstat - no. To the right, in the command prompt, you'll see PID and the #

The svchost entry will also show a PID (to the right).

If it shows in the command prompt whats it say on the left??

682915 2008-06-27 04:17:00 sorry speedy, how do I open a command prompt? mark1978 (13845)
682916 2008-06-27 04:19:00 Start / all programs / accessories / command prompt

Match the PID of the svchost in task manager with the PID you get in the command prompt
Speedy Gonzales (78)
682917 2008-06-27 04:20:00 found it, it al says 0 mark1978 (13845)
682918 2008-06-27 04:23:00 at the moment svchost and system idle, it fluctuates between 50 and 99%

Ok, thanks for that.

In the run box (Start/Run) I want you to type in:

net stop bits and press enter

then open it again and type in:

net stop wuauserv and press enter

(Feel free to copy and paste that text - might be quicker)

Then have a look at the task manager, the CPU usage on svchost.exe should have dropped. Let me know what happens to the svchost.exe that was using lots of cpu after typing that text into the run box. :)
