Okay, so here's the deal. I KNOW my machine is capable of running all the games I push it to play. It exceeds all the requirements, and I've seen it do well. Recently though, I've seen my games slow down to an unplayable lever after around 20 minutes. Even flash games do this. I am playing on a laptop, and it does get VERY hot. My process try is literally down to the bear minimum. I've already determined this process is a legitimate windows process, but perhaps it's infected? Svchost.exe is taking up 135,000 K. The other ones come nowhere near that. Also, my Google Chrome takes up 200,000 + k. (I never play games with it open) So, literally any advice, even anyone trying to help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
-Jake

Update: Chrome's memory usage really seems to fluctuate. It's down to 126,000 K, and won't decide on a amount of memory.
