cpu usage 100 percent, mouse frozen, comp freezes two second
heres all my info
first of all the cpu usage goes up to 100 in the windows task manager
in the performance tab
the sound gets really bad, sometimes my comp freezes for about two seconds....
my comp is not overclocked or overheating

but in the performance tab it shows the system idle at 80+ percent

i defraged
searched for spyware, viruses...
i do use bit torrent but i am pretty sure this isnt the problem

one thing that might be the problem but i do not know how to end the process is spoolsv.exe ( i have no printer/fax )
-the process just keeps starting itself again

IS there something that you do when this happens. Is it freezing on startup or is it a random thing?
