Guys,

Something very badly is wrong with my comp.

i was watching movies last night and it seemed fine. i came back on today and went to watch another movie but it kept freezing, and not responding at all.

i rebooted and tried again thinking just a onetime error, but it kept doing it.

i went through system settings and it showed nothing out of the ordinary. i dont have autoupdate and dont have any patches.

i ran ad-aware 6.0, found nothing, used reglceaner and got rid of all the junk and then scanned for viruses using nortons AV, and still nothing.

basically, it runs slower than it should and basically its crap.

my specs are:

1.2 Ghz Athlon AMD
512 Mb Mem
Win Xp Pro
40Gb HDD

below is a screen shot of the system monitor, and... well, look. the pagefile is using like 150% more than it usually does and the CPU process is always 100%. even from the word go.

i dont know whats causing. any ideas and solutions will be greatly appreciated.

any other information you guys need just ask.

please help, its a pain in the A$$
