Hi everyone, I have an issue that is really bothering me. For some reason, my CPU runs 80%-100% most of the time, sometimes its normal but all of a sudden jumps to those numbers and makes the PC impossible to use well since it lags like crazy and gets very, very slow.
I have had run a Malwarebytes scan and I had no luck, updated some drivers and still same high usage. I am currently using Avira AV and Comodo Firewall, Avira found around 4 viruses and cleaned them 3 days ago, but still no good.
Right now I am running Windows update and getting some updates that say to solve Windows 7 issues so I hope that will help, but I don't know, last night I downloaded some updated and when the computer re-booted, the screen kept black and said "failed to download driver". Had to do a system restore via safe mode :/.
I tried to help my PC with Glary Utilities but no luck, only made the O.S boot a bit faster, but the CPU usage is still all messed up.
I would like to upload a screen capture, but I cannot since the damn CPU has the whole PC lagged and I barely can open a web browser.
Any help is much needed.
Specs:
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Core 2 Duo E8400
4 GB RAM 1333
Mobo: Asrock G41-VMS3
EDIT: The CPU usage has been solved, it was a conflict with Avira AV and the Comodo Firewall, I also restored Windows 7 startup configuration with msconfig.exe. I uninstalled both of those programs and installed KIS 2014, everything is running fine and smooth now.
From my experience, I always have had issues with free AV programs whereas suites with Firewall and all never gave me this many issues.
Thanks for the answers.
