While doing day to day activities, my computer will slow down to unusable
speeds, for about 20 seconds, then go back to normal performance. My drivers are up to date, and Windows Update offers no more updates available. Windows Vista - Home Basic Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.46GHz 1.50GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT |

Windows Vista - Home Basic Intel(R) Celeron(R) D CPU 3.46GHz 1.50GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT When you get the slowdown, open Task Manager and see what is taking up all your CPU cycles. You can also run the free Process Monitor: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896645.aspx Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic! |

How many programs are you running? Do you have an antivirus software? It might be that you've just got infected. Do you do anything before the lockup happens? Might be a corrupt program. -- comphulk |

I have been having a similar problem. When I open up my task manager it says
that 98% of my cpu is idle. My cpu is idle and my comp barely works. It also only seams to happen while gaming. Although thats pretty much all I do so im not sure.
