Umm usually my CPU usage is like from 1% to 5% used but lately its from 50%+!! Why?
And ideas?????
I didn't install any program lately!



The PC is not slow, but still I cant figure why 50%+ is used!!!

Well my processes are all normal I know each and everyone!

Ok, Ok I found the problem my TrendMicro AntiSpyware was using all my CPU! HUH?? you believe it?? omg! it never did that but then I updated it and it started using all my CPU!! I didnt look how much each application was taking up my CPU!!

Oww but now I need a good antispyware! and suggestions besides Microsoft Defender??

If it happens again go to the processes tab and you can then sort by cpu usage, should be able to see straight away whats hogging the cpu

I don't know what's going on with my comp, I press control alt delete and the task manager doesn't even come up. That can't be good.

DevilsCharm, Yeah once that happpened to me too! I had to format my PC to bring it back, but now I made a quick research, see if this site helps ( scroll down till you find Repair, Disable or Enable the Task Manager )

here is the site let me know if it worked or not!

or perhaps:-

Go to run and type "taskmgr"

[DevilsCharm]

What the hell, it said "Another program is using this file." As for that link, I clicked "Repair" and "Enable" task manager but I didn't understand what popped up.

[TcM]

Well thats a Reg file ( Registry File ) that popup asksy you if you want to add that reg key or not! but if its saying Another Program is using that file, then that would NOT arrange your problem!
I dont know!
