100% CPU usage-Video card problem?

Dear all,

Yesterday something quite striking happened to me in my laptop with Windows Vista Basic installed.

I was trying to connect it to another screen. The resolution of my laptop screen suddenly decreased (800x600 I think)...and when I manually tried to change it back to (1200x800) the screen went black and nothing worked fine again.

Since then, every time I start my laptop in the normal mode the CPU is at 100% and there are no processes using it. Everything is incredibly slow and I simply cannot work.

I am writing this from the safe mode with network connectivity enabled. In this mode I can access my files at a normal speed. I guess because the "Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family" device is not active (My graphic card I think).

Thank you in advance

4: Remove any entries that mention "File Not Found" by right-clicking the entry and select Delete.
5: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.
6: Save AutoRuns.txt file to know location.

Hi,

This is the Autoruns.txt file generated as you said.

At the moment I am running my computer in safe mode. Please, let me know if I should try to do this in the normal mode.

Thanks

Hi,

There is a problem in the 6TO4 Network adapter.

Regarding the reinstallation...I don't think I have a cd with such drivers...

Thanks

6TO4 adapter is rarely used, so I wouldn't worry about it for now.

Go to your computer manufacturer site to get the driver.
