KIC Posted September 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted September 29, 2012 try spybot and CCleaner at CCleaner.com. Also check your start-up menu and make sure "everything" isn't loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADC Posted September 29, 2012 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2012 I've never used fix cleaner but I do see alot of good reviews about it they say it gets the job done,I'd give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamagrl Posted September 29, 2012 Share #7 Posted September 29, 2012 What operating system? if its XP then the problem is likely occurring most often when you have a browser running (IE, Chrome, Firefox, etc.). Does it happen when you look at a video? Software grows with technology. Flash and Shockwave have become very taxing of resources. I have had good luck with CCleaner which was mentioned in a previous reply. It may and may not help much. But run it anyway. I was first introduced to CCleaner through my hosting service for my website. You can see what is consuming your resources in taskmanager. You knoww... rt click on the taskbar, select taskmanager, click processes tab, sort on cpu. You will likely see something relatede to the browser you are using. You can end that particular process and the usage will drop. It won't fix the problem, but you will know where to start looking. it'll start back the next time. I have fought this issue. My PC is 2004 1.5g ram Amd Turion 64 mobile. So I am quite familiar with the whole dilemma. I did a complete redo of everything and have decided that modern computer technology has just up and run away and my pc just can't keep up. I have decided to budget for a new one.

bongobobny Posted September 29, 2012 Share #8 Posted September 29, 2012 Start with then startup menu and have only the absolute minimum running. I use CCleaner which also does a pretty decent job IMHO. You may also consider upgrading the memory, you never have enough spare RAM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamagrl Posted September 29, 2012 Share #12 Posted September 29, 2012 iexplore is your browser. Do a restart and then open taskmanager. Let things stabilize and then open internet explorer and watch the surge. Are you running xp or win7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted September 30, 2012 Share #14 Posted September 30, 2012 Such problems can be avoided all together simply by running Linux (Ubuntu rocks) Although the last time I used it it was a bear to dual boot with Win 7. 7 simply does not want to have another OS around.:thumbdown:to micro$oft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydoc_17 Posted September 30, 2012 Share #15 Posted September 30, 2012 Hey Skid, I use AVG for my virus protection. They have a product called, "PC Tune Up" that is also an excellent product. If you go to the AVG web site, you can try PC Tune Up once for free. With the free trial, you will need to select and run the several options for computer speed up, (the paid version does this automatically) and it really sped up my computer. I actually purchased the product after using the free trial, but you don't need to do that. If you are not a computer "nerd", this is the way to go in my opinion.
