:tazz: Alright, I was hoping for my problem to just kinda go away, but the lag is becoming unbearable. I don't know what I did to cause it, but starting a few days ago, my computer has become unbearably slow. I start to shut down running applications, but nothing seems to remedy the problem. Everything takes forever to load!

When I check the taskmanager, everything seems to be OK, no unknown programs seem to be running, but one thing did seem out of place. Up until when the problem started, I have never noticed a System.exe process running. I noticed it this time because it seems to be taking 99% of my CPU power. I tried to shut it down, but nothing happens, and when I end the Process Tree, it puts the computer to Shut down forcibly.

I really do not know how to handle this problem, but since its not causing any terrible physical damange (yet my mind is slowing being ebbed into non-existance) I thought that I could wait to see what anyone else had to say about my problem.


I dont' know what information you all might need to help me out, but feel free to reply and I'll list whatever you need to know.

Thank you in advanced!


Signed,

Frank ;)
