hello all,
of late, the laptop i'm using has been experiencing really high cpu usage, usually up to 100% when i do the most mundane of tasks (open a new tab, go back on the browser, etc...).
i don't have an old laptop (about 3 years old), and the rate of which it has deteriorated has been really rapid. in the last week, i have lost the ability to watch ALREADY BUFFERED youtube clips (sound before video, or the video stops and starts), watch already downloaded videos (stops and starts), and even simple tasks like opening a new window up.
i've taken to using CCleaner every day now, as well as performing spyware checks with super-anti spyware. i use avast (for virus protection), and the last three times i've tried to perform a virus check, the computer/laptop has shutdown on me before it finished checking everything. i even disconnected it from the internet (i read it on the internet), and it still shuts down...
it's a toshiba satellite pro with 512 mb ram and a 40gb hdd. i'm not sureabout the other info, but i could find out...
could anyone help me out please???
