Okay, so one day I wake up to find my computer slow as heck. I come back and reboot it to find out I'm getting slow boot times, about 5 minutes to get to login from Win XP loading screen. Since then I've run all spyware/malware and virus removal tools, I even have McAfee installed and running, found a bunch of useless viruses...did nothing.
I updated all my drivers and still no luck.
So now I'm totally lost to what's going on! My PC has been acting up for about a week, before I cleaned the viruses out the CPU usage was hitting 50-60%, now it's still getting slow boot times but it's dropped to about 30%.
Still this is too slow, opening browsers, apps etc is way too slow. I can't even play games at all.
Here's my specs:
Intel E8400 CPU
Intel DG35EC Mobo
4 GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 800 ram
450 watt Corsair PSU
Asus EAH4850 TOP 512mb Graphics
Help would be greatly appreciated, I was also encountering BSOD's but that was probably unrelated...and I haven't seen one in about a day. All my temps are fine, I'm not overheating, but I'm so lost...if it's not a virus, what is it that's hogging up all my CPU?
