I'm running Windows XP Home+sp2. The rest is in my sig. Anyways much of the recent time, Explorer.exe has been hogging my CPU useage (between 40% and 100%). I Tried the obvious solutions of end tasking and then re- start explorer, then my whole computer, killing excess processes, all no dice. So then I thought maybe I'm having an unstable OC, so I went and set back to stock speeds, that made it much worse. All the tools I have say I have a stable OC (wtf?) and yet if I just sit here browsing the internet its slower than ever. I'm certain that a reinstall of windows, would fix this, but my question is simply WTF??? What could cause explorer to screw things up when nothing is really being done?
