Still got problems

uh, 91 processes?
Isn't that a bit... excessive?

I mean that's like double what I would normally expect.

Sort by CPU so that the active processes are at the top.

It's changing a alot, always 1-4 things with CPU over 00.

Something is using CPU,, either a hidden process, or you did not click on "Show Processes from all users"

That could be you or the system users,

System
Local Service
Network Service
Other system type accounts.


This is still up in the air as to whether it is software or hardware related.

Ok,, lets dig deeper then,,,

Get ProcessExplorer

Extract and run it

Go to View and make sure the following are checked

Show Processes from all users
Show Fractional CPU
Show Unnamed Handles and Mappings

Watch this for a while and try to see what is using your CPU the most

WDFME (WD File Management Engine) is using 12-16 CPU.
That's my backup.. hmm. I sure wish Win7 Home Premium could wireless back up, then I could just remove that right now.

Can you disable WDFME for a bit?

Unless it is doing backups,,,,

Right Click it and select Suspend
Only if you believe it will not damage backups.

I could be wrong about hardware and That could be the culprit.

I would try using msconfig to kill all non-essential processes, then use your computer as you would normally for a day. If you don't have any problems I would then re-enable the processes a few at a time and also run the computer for a good while. If/When the problem returns you'll know it was in the last batch you re-enabled. :)

I suspended WDFME and I didnt see much a difference.
I removed it from my start up, and my start up faster and in the first few minutes my computer is running better. If WD was the cause, then I need a new network backup.. Any suggestions?

EDIT: It's less weird, but it's still acting strange.

My computer is being realllyy weird right now. It's taking me several minutes to get to seven forums and it takes 30+ seconds to launch a program. It seems the more I put it to sleep mode the stranger it acts.
