[RESOLVED] Mom's PC slowing down and CPU running @ 51%
My mother (65+, bless her heart) asked me to take a look at her PC, as it has slowed down and become sluggish.
As a simple preliminary cleanup, I ran CCleaner, TFC, and Defrag'd the HDD. I also went into Startup and unchecke'd everything.
This all helped, but when I looked at the Task Manager / Performance: it showed the PC running @ 51% CPU (Dual Core Pentium E2200) and 1.48g PF Usage (with 2g of Ram).
This seemed high to me, after I turned everything else off. I even ran EndItAll to kill everything and still high.
Suggestions?
