it is a amd.... thats why lol. I dont know what is wrong running anything ?

suing AMD is the right phrase :D

run a virus scan, that's your first stop. After that, put together a firewall, then go through and get something like adaware.

Chances are you've got some sort of virus. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time a virus has crashed computers ;)

maybe is he wants to sue amd? because his computer is slow lol

He is bring his computer to court! lol j/k run a virus scan

first off, right click on your task bar and click on task manager, go to proceses and look to see what is using the CPU. Start with that and you can narrow your problem down.

Um.. a small note.
When you arrive at the processes window like NewtSys suggest, clicking on the header tab "CPU" will sort the processes list so that you can spot the process that's consuming all your CPU power easier than keeping track of that long changing list.

I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT! haha

I have a firewall and run virus checks everyday at 8 pm

I opened up my cpu proccess but dont what processes are safe to take off, can anyone help me with that.

Could anything else be causing this, like the temperature, motherboard, heatsink, thermal grease, sound card, graphic card, hardrive.

Thanks
