CPU usage suddenly jumps to 100% with nothing else running! I know this can’t be good. HELP!?

don’t know squat about computers, only that my boys needed one for school. Have a Dell Dimension 3000, Windows XP Pent 4 and it’s black. Otherwise, I have no idea what makes the thing tick. Only that everything started going wrong on the day we hooked up on the internet via SBC Yahoo! AT&T internet service. One problem after another since that day last month. Have spent more hours on phone with tect support then online. They send new software, tell me all is well with that problem only to have different problem pop up minutes later. Have lost all respect for their support teams. Trying to pay my way with Yahoo by answering questions. Over 50 questions past two weeks, many top answers, so in my field, I am no dummy. Computers, that’s another world. Now I’m turning to you for help with my problem. This CPU thing is totally beyond me. Thanks! rob-hansen@sbcglobal.net A.K.A. “garden dok” at Answers.

You might be spiking the CPU due to heat caused by dust build up in the computer. Take the cover off and clean the fans and blow the dust out with canned air. Leave the cover off and turn it on and see if it spikes. Make sure the CPU fans is running to keep it cool. If it doesn’t spike put the cover back on and see what happens. If it spikes after the cover is on, then get better ventilation around the computer. If you or anyone using it smokes or it’s located near the kitchen, you will need to use alcohol and a qtip and clean the surface of all the chips.

In none of that works, turn off all programs that run from startup. If this stops the spiking you will need to turn on each program one at a time to find the one that’s causing the problem.

To get to the start up menu: START>RUN>type MSCONFIG and click OK>select the startup tab. Everything with a check is running from startup. You can either uncheck one at a time and restart to see if it was that program or uncheck all and then do one at atime that way. Remember you will have to restart after each one. This takes time.

After all this, you do not need to run all the programs from startup. This will help it run faster and cooler by not running programs that are not needed to run all the time.
