CPU pegged running at 100%
Greetings:
My computer is exhibiting serious problems. 1) running EXTREMELY slowly ...literally, I watch each individual icon on my desktop being drawn! 2) pressing any key on the keyboard results in a chirp noises coming out of the speaker I pulled up task manager and it shows the CPU pegged at 100%. No one program is hogging the system. There are a bunch of programs that alternate at the top slot (ranked by CPU usage). But the top 4 or 5 all avg around 15~20% The main things is that the SYSTEM IDLE process...which normally is running at like 99% is ranked dead last at 0%!!! I tried downloading and running Rootkit Revealer. When I run a scan, it hangs the system entirely. Not even crtl-alt-del works. When I tried a system restore, at auto-reboot i get a very weird screen telling me that my computer is protected by password authentication. I must supply the admin password and press enter. When I just press enter, it continues on with the reboot. Then it goes to a screen that is lablled MANUFACTURER MODE [FF] and some words about how my computer did an auto-shutdown due to overheating!! After this, it proceeds to "windows is starting...." screen and eventually to the user login screen.....but all the same problems are still present!!! Any and all advice GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.32 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay). http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes...-10804572.html Run Malwarebytes' in safe mode and turn off your current anti-virus before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a helpful utility. If that doesn't help back up your data files, format the drive and reinstall Windows XP. -- Hope this helps.
