Alright it's been long enough I'm frustrated. My CPU is out of control
Okay I'm going to do my best to explain this problem I'm having. My laptop was working great for a year, and for the past month I've been having huge problems. My CPU a month ago started having insanely high usage from some taskmgr processes. Firefox and explorer mostly. I have taken some screenshots to show some problems. Before this started I could have 30 tabs open and barely have a problem, and many could be streaming shows etc. I got fed up and did an HP system recovery and it went away for a while.
It takes forever to redo all my settings and reinstall programs so that isn't an option again. Considering it only fixed it for a few days I need to get to the bottom of this. I can't figure out what's causing this problem at all. Everything will be working great and then bam, 55 CPU usage by Firefox and everything crawls. I know about add-ons and extensions, but I have ZERO except flash. Absolutely nothing else running. Can anyone help me here, I will post some screenshots. I can probably answer alot of questions but I'm really in need of some hard-core tech help. I like to think I know a decent amount about computers but this has be stumped.
Thanks so much everyone, I know I'm not the only one with this problem it's all over but I can't find the right thread anywhere with my unique situation.
