I own a Acer Aspire E1-571G, Windows 7 x64bits. Rundll32.exe seems to have quite a high memory usage and the laptop sometimes stutters even in applications that shouldn't affect its performance too high. I issued a scan and it said that "windows resource protection found a corrupt file but was unable to fix some of them".

I can run games smoothly with no problems for a period but after a time the computer act up on its own and start stuttering, gets back to normal, and after a while starts all over again. What do you guys think i should do? This is becoming quite stressfull.

Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Adwcleaner, JRT and Avast aparently don't solve my problem. After i close the program from the task manager it pops up again after some time.
 
Seems like issue with windows, you can do :
1. Reinstall Windows (without knowing problem)
2. Trying to fix the problem.

Run32.dll it can be anything.Corrupted windows files, virus, dunno if you are willing to do i suggest Windows update to disable First of all,restart pc and then see if problem persist.
If problem persists Update windows and see if problem persists.
Cant get any ideas now.

I had windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. In all of them i had the rundll32.exe problem, so that doesn't help... I'm starting to believe this might be a hardware problem. I'll try and do a disk check and see how that goes.

disk cleaner and SFC /scannow do nothing. Closing it only temporarily shuts it down because it comes back off... Is there a way a can remove it, shut it down completely or repair it?
