High CPU Usage Normal or Not?
Hey guys, having this issue with a little pc that I fixed to sell and keep from going to the recycle bin. I put about as much money into it that I'll get from it. It's a low powered Windows 7 machine and a bit slow. So I want to make sure there is no garbage programs phoning home and taking up precious resources. I think all is normal but this is an OEM Install with all the junk on it.
It's seems to be doing something with the CPU up and down as you can see in the attachment. I think it is okay because it all seems to stop when I start using the laptop, but not sure. And my desktop don't do this? I meant to boot another laptop before this post to see if it was similar but forgot.
Here are a few things I've done, though just now realized that my notes are on the pc in question. This is a Clean install with SP1 and all the updates done. I'll include a MiniToolBox output I ran today.
HP Pavilion dv6-3010us
1. I removed HP Support assistant.
2. Removed unnecessary Startups.
3. Removed some junk programs that shouldn't be phoning home anyhow but were old and useless as I researched them.
4. Looked in Applications and Processes but don't see anything to much there?
Would someone please tell me what they think, thanks Nasty7
