seemingly random high processor activity Thursday, January 30, 2003 at 6:05 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Sheldon Lee (5 messages posted) Hi, ive recently been having problems with my processor constantly running, doing something other than what it is telling me. According to my startup and the task manager, only required programs are running in the background. Yet, when i am either idle or trying to play some game, my system constantly chunks out. I went to the system moniter in the control panel/accesories/system tools and it tells me that my processor is almost always running at 100% and it is writing to my harddrive from time to time in large amounts (.5 megs to 3.8 megs per second). I have 768 megs of SDRAM, so i dont think the problem is there, and no extra programs seem to be running... HELP!
