CPU Usage 100%

[Witty]

...all the damn time, wtf do I blame in this shitbox to make my mouse move faster than matrix time?

PEBCAK loop probably...

[Donnel]

heh PEBCAK

Try checking for virii/spyware.

[Gidan]

Virus/Spyware check, check your task manager and see what processes are taking up your CPU. Give us a list of what they are named, what user is running them and what CPU % they are using.

[Witty]

Everything's at 0% cpu usage other than system idle process... which is set on a solid 99%?

no virus/spyware & I have develpoed a habit of reformatting every few months.

[Arlos]

If your system idle process is at 99%, you're not at 100% CPU useage, you're at 1% CPU useage.

PEBCAK

I told you

PEBCAK or is it ID-10-T

[Hound]

During a computer-related/post-workday conversation with my SO, she mentioned
"eye-dee-ten-tee" to me, and I had no idea what she was talking about. After
several moments, realization set in, and I thought, "that's like some silly
l33tsp34k version of PEBCAK. I like PEBCAK better." Of course, she thought
"id-10-t" was funny, so I did not share the fact that I thought it was
unecessary, insipid, and in every way inferior to PEBCAK.

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

[Witty]

This shit's still fucking with me.

So I've been staring at the task manager and whenever it reaches 100% it's been just, whatever program I've been running. I'll open WMP or Mozilla and it'll jump to 80-97% and my mouse'll start trailing at snail's pace.
