Question

PLEASE HELP

MY LAPTOP IS SO SLOW ,,,100% USED OF CPU EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT RUN ANY PROGRAM

I TRIED TO FORMAT USING MY RECOVERY CDS ,,IT TOOK ME 2 DAYS

BUT DID NOT HELP...

MY AVG ANTI VIRUS DID NOT DETECT ANY VIRUS

IT DID NOT SHUT DOWN BY ITSELF

THE FAN DID NOT MAKE ANY NOISE

MY LAPTOP IS NOT HOT AT ALL

HOWEVER I USED THE LAPTOP 24 HOURS AND PUT ON MY BED

IS THIS BECAUSE OF VIRUS? OR OVER HEAT ??

MY LAPTOP IS NOT HOT AT ALL THO !!!

HOW TO CHECK IF I HAVE OVER HEAT PROBLEM. IS THERE A PROGRAM TO DO THAT??

MY LAPTOP HAS PENTIUM CORE TWO DUO, 1 G RAM

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE OVER HEAD PROBLEM

WOULD IT COST A LOT

SHOULD I BUY THE AIR SPRAY

Answer 3

I had something like this happen to my boyfriends computer and they heat it because your air fans are clogged up with dust or maybe have quit working at all. I would take it to a professional and let them take it apart and clean it. That is what we had to do and the 100% CPU usage is probably because of a virus that is logged into your registry. If you have tried to to recover it and it did not work. I think it could be something stopping everything. I would take it to a professional and let them figure it out. It will be worth the money since it is cheaper than buying a whole new computer.

avg is a big CPU usage hog... get rid of it... also most programs running in the bottom right corner of your toolbar need to be exited out or quit or uninstalled: you can exit them by right clicking and going to exit... if you press ctrl alt delete and go to processes it will tell you everything that is running... see if you actually need any of those programs... if all that doesn't work go to start-programs-accessories-system tools- disk defragment OR! disk cleanup: this will take a while so warning!!!
