System Process hogs 99% of cpu
A friend's comp (XP sp3) is running very slowly. I believe it to be virus and malware free - checked with AVG, Malwarebytes and superAntiSpyware. There is very little installed on this comp. so the HD has about 90% free space.In task manager, a system process with pid 4 is what is using all of the cpu. Research shows that a conflict with certain software (none installed on this comp.) could cause this problem.I have found that a chunk of 64mb of RAM out of a total of 512 installed is not being reported by windows. I take this to mean that a block of 64mb has now failed. I wouldn't have thought that this could cause the problem but I'm out of ideas.Any thoughts gratefully received.DHps I have his box but have to swap all the perifs back and forward to mine to connect.1 person got this answerI do too
