system health

My computer was running slow and hot, and I noticed that a process called vmmem was using 85-99% of my CPU at all times. I ran wsl --shutdown in the command line, and shut down my computer. Now, my CPU is running at a more normal level, but I'm concerned that I have a virus on my computer. I...

This is what I'm seeing: How can I trace down who 4&232151f9&0 is? Under Device manager I can see (5) ROOT_HUBs so that doesn't help. All of them removed allow under power management. Any ideas how to precisely find out which one is responsible? Thank you in advance.

I have 2 (sometimes more) rundll32 processes shown in my taskmanager and one of them repeatedly opens and closes, while the loading icon is flickering next to my cursor. I've already tried restarting the system, Malwarebytes didn't find anything and I couldn't find anything helpful on the...

Just got done helping a neighbor. Her mouse was spinning and the system was slow. Looked in task manager and saw an iexplore process which had been spawned via a script to run hidden. Basically it was mining crypto currency in the background. Resolving it was simply a matter of closing the...

Does a virus affect other components besides the hard drive, such as memory etc?

Hi folks, I'm having real trouble diagnosing a persistent blue screen problem. It started about a year ago after upgrading from windows 7 to windows 10. I initially did an upgrade install but have since performed numerous clean installs of win 10. It is a home built system. One of many I have...

I had not noticed this before but I am getting a note at the bottom of the MSE page that says “Preliminary scan results show that malicious or potentially unwanted software might exist on your system. it pops up halfway through a scan. You can review detected items when the scan has completed...

Attached are the dump files from the W7F tool. I keep getting this BSOD on my laptop and it started yesterday. I have an SSD and it's less than a year old, so I doubt it failed. It's a Crucial MX100 and Crystal Disk Mark says its health is at 95%. I'm running an sfc /scannow operation right...

Last week my computer shutdown from going to hot. I replaced the thermal paste and that helped some. Tonight I performed a stress test on my cpu from intel extreme tuning utulity for 2 min The temps were 91, 99, 88, 99 When not under stress the cores temps fluctuate but are around 61, 67...

Hi! Does anyone here use this windows tool to troubleshoot. I think it's a great tool. Not wonderful, but it might help lead you to problems you may be having. I don't understand why more help forums don't at least call attention to it. To me it's the event viewer in a graft form, and a lot...

Hi getting blue screens since a few days when I move around larger files from different hard drives (non-SSD) to others in order to format my truecrypt encrypted drives to remove the encryption (want to switch to modern tool, which is still developed and gets bug fixes). Attached you the files...

Hello everyone, I have a big problem of slowness with my laptop. I checked for viruses and malwares with different programs (nothing detected), then I reset my laptop to factory settings and my computer is still slow. As soon as I open it, more than 80% of the RAM is being used (with not a...

Windows 8 was the last Microsoft operating system to fully support the un-popular performance monitor so I'd like to show you one of the hidden advantages of staying with eight instead of up-grading to 8.1.1 1. Starting from the desk top press [windows key] + [x] then press [p] to open the...

I used the disc with a generic key to install and my 8 key to activate. All went well but the cleanup system files will not close. It removes bits at a time but the fan is humming and it does not say successful or close. It does chip away so there are a few mbs left. I was hoping to close so I...

The other day a friend and I decided to have a game of L4D2 although for some strange reason the game would start but then crash. Whilst searching for a fix, a solution was found which involved using the System file scanner to repair system files. The trouble is that with recent builds the SFC...

Within the span of one week, I have installed Dual Boot on my 2 laptops. Win 7 and Win 10 TP 64-bit Win 8.1 Pro and Win 10 TP 32-bit In BOTH cases, after install and before I started to install programs, I made a restore point, and then did a sfc. Both cases, sfc reported corrupt files but...

Hi, I've been getting many BSOD's recently, theyre occuring randomly, when PC is idle or lots of them when playing battlefield 3 (those have been reduced significantly by increasing GPU fan speed to manual 70%). I've tried: Cleaning up registry Cleaning up HDD Reinstalling GPU Link Removed...
