100% CPU usage

hello scubadoc with 30 or so processes running that isnt to big a deal. my self i start looking when i get more than 25.what sets off a warning bell is the fact this just started. i would suggest first that you run some spyware program spybot adware something like that save the log because your gonna be ask for it. if you have a good anti virus program up to date run that as well and once again save the log. after that come back and visit our malware forum starting at topic pinned #2 lets start there to be on the safe side an rule out or catch whats causing this. good luck and thanks for comming to gtg

thanks for the advice krmooo, tell me if i missed anything...updated my anti virus, turned off go back, rebooted into safe mode, ran ccleaner then spybot then antivir (got nothing on both BTW) re booted back into windows made the log and posted it in the malware section.

One more thing (this makes me think it might be a hardware problem) my fan is acting weird...sometimes ill shut off the computer and it will still run, the PC wont turn on until i unplug the power supply (which turns off the fan) replugging it and turning the PC on....i'm pretty sure it's not a heat issue cause i took the side off today and let the fan sit in front of it (anything wrong with that BTW? lol) and still had the same problem....

well you didnt miss much except the forum. this needs to be in malware. let them have a look under the post logs here

Issue resolved, turned out to be a hardware (fan) issue...thanks for the help.

Could you also remove this thread http://www.geekstogo...ge-t160259.html (which was never answered BTW).

Just out of interest, what was the problem with the fan that drained all cpu resources. Also, what fan was faulty, was it the cpu fan or another one.
