Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
I've noticed the exact same behavior with windows update, try turning updates off entirely and see if that resolves it. My svchost.exe was using about 1.25 gb of ram at one point before I turned updates off. Make sure

Heat could be a very good explanation for major lag. Most CPU's reduce the clock frequency to prevent the computer from overheating completely, which of course results in a massive drop of performance. I had a laptop
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
so I don't know what I did, only thing that's changed in the last 24 hours is decreasing my startup load and a defrag using defraggler, but its no longer stuck at a hundred percent, seems to fluctuate between 65 and 90
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
Because of the process you mentioned, try to think back to what you may have installed recently that would be using allot of network resources, a server, an external IP manager like Hamachi, ETC, and if you can't think
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
Hello,I would recommend performing a disk cleanup apart from others.The disk cleanup feature cleans up unnecessary files that are filling in your harddisk space, and so there may be a lot of unneeded stuff there.The

@dd: svchost.exe is kind of a tricky one, as it's used to call dll files and ltos of different programs can use it. I'm not very sure what to recommend unfortunately.

Also check your event logs (type eventvwr.msc into the search or run box) and check for any warnings or errors. Under Custom Views you will see Administrative Events, they should all be listed there.

Get a program like advance system optimizer. It's really accessible. with jaws and I've had issues like yours in the past but doing a clean up with this program at least once a month really helped. It cleans up

I have a feeling it has something to do with the services thing, installed drivers for bluetooth and USB headsets over the last couple days but I have no idea why that'd make things hang that muchcould it also
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
Well I'd firstly do a disk cleanup in admin mode and clear the windows update file s and a few other things.Next, I'd actually try to clear out the dust from the unit with come sort of compressed air, compresser
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
With a PC that old it could easily be a hardware issue, but trying to pinpoint the issue and fix it would require patience and possibly money. Of course, I'd honestly say that keeping it around that long is playing

Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
Hi,Try completely wiping the drive and installing a new copy of Windows. That will probably clear anything software related. I'm pretty sure it;s software. The problem with Windows is that you get viruses and when
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
It all comes down to the simple fact, most windows boxes last no more than 5 years before a noticeable decline in performance. I'd honestly recommend just selling the system maybe it'll go for around $300 or something

yeah that's what I think I might do, I'm planning to get a new computer hopefully soon, but until then I just need this one to cooperate with me lol so I'll try the compressor if I can find one, haven't tried registry
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
First of all, if your virus and malware scans found something, then a backup and reformat will be the best thing you could do. you see, is not what you do find that is the problem there, it is what you don't find. If I

Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
Exactly how old is the machine? If 75% of the drive's free, the recycle bin's empty, the only other thing I'd suggest is clearing your browser cache as that can really accumulate big-time. Remember when you shut down
Re: need help from someone who knows their way around computer issues
I'd empty your resycle bin, make sure there's not many things on your desk top, and try to clear up your computer. Try removing programs you aren't using, and back up files on an exturnal hardrive or flash drive. Also
