programs running:
zonealarm, avg antivirus free, miutorrent, msn messenger, maplestory, 1-2 webbrowsers, windows explorer
comp specs:
p4, 3.0ghz, 512ram, raedon X300/X550 series 128ram, adsl broadband, 80gb HDD which currently is abt 50% used
i am getting strange CPU usage spikes ~100% from windows task manager (performances); graphics laggy and sound stuttery. however usually i am in the game maplestory when it happens; im unable to see wat caused the spike, only that there was a spike in the history..
processes dont go above 20k Mem usage (viewed during non spike period) and all processes seem normal (not suspicious)
have run anti virus scan, and ad-aware, in fact just format my pc 2wks ago, and never had this problem until today; ie i was able to run all these applications previously, and even more on occasion without any problem at all
how can i stop this from happening or find out whats causing it???
