Tech Clinic / cpu
« on: December 21, 2005, 02:04:36 PM »
l have a question concerning my windows xp operating system. When i boot the machine it seems to run fine, once the main screen is up the operating system seems to work fine for about 1min or so then it freezes. i check the task manager and it tells me the cpu usage is 100%.
Knowing this i decide to reboot in safemode, use hijackthis to check for files which should not be allowed. l have taken the drive out and slaved it on one of my other machines to scan with Kaspersky were it found 15 viruses.
l put the drive back into the original machine, seemed to run alittle better for a few minutes but then the operating system when back to its original state b4 i had scanned (100% cpu, Freezing). Something seems to be running in the background and eating up all the cpu usage.
Please help.
