Software killing the hardware
It's become a past-time watching the task manager religiously, especially with Win 7. Processes sometimes go amok, a svchost.exe just took 60% of my CPU and then disappeared. My chrome.exe processes range from 5% to 50% of CPU, depending on any given instant (usually courtesy of Yahoo ads).
My hard disk is already clicking sometimes, the fan is overworking, and I've used this laptop a grand total of less than 6 months.
It used to be that a computer was not "old" before 4-5 yrs had passed. Now one has to back up from Day 1.
any comments are welcome.
