How many processes start up when you start your computer? I have only 20 processes running directly after startup, and 21 as I type this. My Nvidia Service is shut down in Services. It doesn't seem to matter if it's running or not so I don't allow it to start. You might shut it down for isolation. What about your Spyder calibration program, is it running "real time"... what I mean is, does it adjust your monitor constantly or do you need it to be running only when you use the probe and calibrate? I guess you could kill that for now too.
There has to be something running or monitoring something. Do you use Hijackthis on your computer?
