I just format both my main harddrive and the system allocation and reinstalled Windows 7 HP. My CPU is running at 50% to 100% depending on what i am doing. I have 4 gigs of ram. i cant even run minecraft on the lowest settings without any lag
Try a Clean Boot, see if things run better. If so follow the tutorial to identify the cause.
Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program
Hi yep Internet explorer has some sort of bug just kill the process that goes out of control when you notice it,
I'm starting to use Pale moon more :)
Looks to me like the windows update memory leak that many users seem to be experiencing.
From your screenshots:
svchost.exe (netsvcs) is the cuplrit. To test - try stopping the windows update service and stop then restart the BITS service.
Does that return memory/ CPU usage to normal levels?
svchost.exe (netsvcs) seems to be the problem. When I kill it from processes, my cpu drops down to 9%. But games such as minecraft jump it back up to 100% and I get terrible lag.
I meant stop the windows update service to test. (Possibly also restart BITS) - Not kill svchost.exe!
That's just to see if memory usage returms to normal levels. If it doesn't then it's not the problem.
Minecraft - I know nothing about it.
Other than that stick with ZTrucker's advice.
