I have a Dell desktop. It starts up very quiet and fast. It gets louder and slower as time passes and I use it. Sometimes with just internet explorer open, it has 100% CPU usage as quoted by the task manager.
So I started with running a defrag and disk cleaner. Nothing changed.
Then I uninstalled programs I never used, to free up space. I have about 60% free space now. Nothing changed.
I ran msconfig and edited it to not start up useless programs, and not to run useless services. Little changed, but it took longer to show problems.
I ran a program to free up RAM. It made my fan louder and computer slower when I ran it.
I have checked for spyware with 2 different utilities and visuses with a another different 2 utilities. Nothing changed!!!
Any other ideas? It doesn't start this way, any ideas?
