I did not know where else to post this question - so I started here cuz it seems like a cpu problem. Please relocate as necessary
I have a HP a4310 desktop; AMD Athlon II X2 250 cpu; 4 GB RAM; Win 7 home premium 64 bit.
If Firefox (latest) has been open for awhile - with lots of Windows, the computer will get slow and choppy. even after I close all but 1 window (1 tab), the computer still seems to be processing alot (orange light blinking wildly) - but task manager only shows Firefox running. But loading a new website will be choppy and very slow. It seems like other stuff is running in the background, but there's nothing there and "processes" only shows Firefox.
What's up with this?? Even now, while typing this, I type but nothing shows for a few seconds then it's all there . . . so I just keep typing waiting for the computer to catch up . . . It's very annoying. Any ideas what's up??
thanks
Kelly
