Hello there! This is the first time I find myself asking for help on an internet forum so I really don't know what to do any more. The computer was working until yesterday, ocasionally reseting (it had been doing that for a while, but it was once every two or three weeks) so I ran a virus scan...

Hi, I realise there are a million of these threads on here about CPU usage but I have checked several and they don't seem to fix my issue. Basically my CPU usage hits 100% a lot. Usually I am not doing much. Listening to Itunes and using firefox or vlc player. All of a sudden the sound becomes...
