Hi

I am using an AMD ATHLON XP 2100+ 1.71 GHZ

MY pc as many of you know has slowed down --
My processor is goign up to 100% usage alot when I just hit my start button or open up internet exploreer or some program

Is that supposed to be?

Please help how I can fix that ro do something!

Thanks

Someone else had the same problem. Changing some settings in bios did the trick for him or her..

Hope it helps
 
Mmm...

lokodezine: If it's working, why fix it? I just do BIOS upgrades on older motherboards or non-working motherboards. Most of the time to detect new hard drives on old motherboard.

Maybe flashing the bios (just remove the battery for 10 secs) will do the trick...

I agree but in the above post fiezk said that someone was haivng the same problem and chanign the BIOS fixed it... so you dont think that is the problem, what is exactly the Bios anwyays
 
... has questions

Are you running any distributed computing software like folding@home or SETI?

Have you scanned for viruses and/or spyware?

Have you installed all your OS updates?

I am just worried my pc has slowed down tremedensouly -

I got 1 gig of ram so I could run multiple stuff simotaneously but now it takes a while for me to load just another internet Explorer or anything and my CPU is overloaded especially when running a program like photoshop and I just did reformatt my hardrive...

Also my dvd player has shot out but that is in a different post!

-------THE BELOW - 2-7 are constantly changing - but 2 and 3 are there the most_

2. IMAGE NAME - explorer.exe
CPU - 01 (02)
MEM USAGE - 23,156

3. IMAGE NAME - YPager
CPU - 01 (02)
MEM USAGE - 15,520
