When I'm on google chrome and i'm watching a youtube video, I often run into a problem where my audio is being distorted because the cpu usage is so high. Also, when i'm in a skype call, the people on the other end of the call say that my microphone starts stuttering randomly. I don't know if...

Dear Forum, How are you? First post in this part of the forum as I have just installed windows 8. At the moment it feels like a huge mistake as everything is so slow. I was using the same computer with windows 7 then that wouldn't load so I installed windows 8. Same machine, same software...

So for the past month or so my computer has been periodically freezing, sometimes half an hour after start up and other times it can be fine for a full day of use. The freezing leaves my computer in a fully unresponsive state (pressing caps locks on my keyboard does not light up the LED...

I found out that Retro UI is a good app as a start menu. The reason is that it allows you to still use the start screen if you want to and adds a task bar at the bottom of your start screen. So, you can use the start screen as an improved desktop. I could be wrong so please correct me if I am...

I started using the Windows 7 built-in administrator account. I basically copied over all of the original user settings to the new administrator account, setting everything up through Windows. I've encountered a situation where it appears that the administrator internal settings are causing a...

A little while back, my computer started telling me that over 60% of my CPU was being used up by something, even while nothing was running on my PC.

I was on a thread and my system slowed down and became almost unusable. I checked Task Manger and it showed Adobe flash as taking 14 % CPU time. This is Firefox, so I ended the task for Adobe Flash Player and the system went back to normal. The Advertising in the large boxes disappeared and...
