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.

Hello, I recently installed Windows 7 x64 for Christmas as an upgrade from Windows Vista and while playing a game I noticed that I was frequently losing control and having massively delayed inputs from my Sidewinder x4 I thought it was the game at first, but when I got out of the game, it kept...

The hard disk in my laptop Aspire V3-571G is faulty as I keep receiving error messaging warning me that my HDD is faulty and might fail anytime. Moreover the computer has really slowed down and for example takes like 20 mins to start up. I want to backup this current hard disk, buy a new...

My brother and I built identical Windows 8 PCs earlier this year, we were both virgin system builders. His has been stable but mine has been crashing a lot, something in the order of 50 BSoD in 5 months. I've been trying to solve it myself but I'm running out of ideas. It has never been stable...

Let me introduce myself: I'm a programmer, and computer tech. I am anal about everything that goes on, on my computer. I don't like when it does things without my consent, much less without the curtesy of an alert. I spent 3 month beating windows into submission, and now that I've "upgraded"...

My computer system is windows8. When I try to download something or just run some programs, a warning would show up and said that I have low disk space. How can I clear my disk space? Also, I wonder a simple disk defragmentation could be enough. Many thanks.

Attempted to update to 8.1 yesterday and the store just won't open. Every time I click on the Store tile it doesn't get past the green introductory screen before just disappearing (crashing).. Have restarted several times and used the link-through on the Windows 8.1 site. Also, I have since...

Apologies if I am posting this in the wrong forum. I'm hoping that the below makes sense to someone. I'm not the most technical person when it comes to operating systems. My Samsung RV510 (Windows 7) is two years old and has always functioned perfectly in terms of speed, function etc. Very...

Hi, I have Windows XP SP1. When I turn on my laptop (ACER), open Windows 7, after a few seconds the memory usage of explorer.exe increases significantly to reach 2Gb after a couple of minutes. Then, the system is very slow and I have to kill explorer.exe. I tried mostly everything: - clean...

I bought a used Dell E6500 with an Intel dual core processor (supposedly) but Win 7 Task Manager only finds one core. I've got other computers running dual core and quad core processors, and Performance > CPU history > One Graph per CPU will read as many processors as the processor title says it...
