Small resource problem since recovery

[Frostmourne]

Explorer for me is taking around 50mb. Try a SAS scan just in case.

That was normal for me too, I used to run around 30mb when I was doing what I normally do. A few days back I contacted HP support because I couldn't burn recovery disks. They're going to send me a set free so I'm going to use those disks to restore the pc. Hopefully that fixes my issues

You could also clean your chassis fans, it could be a hardware issue, but I don't think so. Try scheduling a chkdsk from the tools menu of your hard drive, when you right click it. Also run memetest86 or type mem into the start menu.

I'll run them in a bit. I don't even want to use this machine right now. Luckily FF isn't slowing down. But it takes forrrrrevvvverrrrr to open up a folder just so I could run procmon. So lame.

Try the diagnostics. Also keep a copy of the Avira rescue system antivirus .iso safe somewhere, along with the sysrescuecd.

I will, I'll post back in the morning what the results were. I'm half temped just to do system recovery again. Once I get to the first boot screen see if it still does it. If it still does it then I have a hardware problem. Which is covered by warranty :D

I think the problem was that I installed all of my applications before I did windows update. Everything is running tip top now.

Followed the steps of a guide posted here.

Clean install ( my case system recovery )
install SP2
install Anti-Virus
install all drivers
run windows update install everything
defrag the hard drive
then install all user programs, settings, pictures, games, etc.

Followed that guide and everything is well now

Whew. Thank goodness!

 

[CrucialHoax]

Yeah. Just un-installing the last of the bloat from hp.

Could someone open task manager, then open a folder with a lot of sub folders then just browse through the folders to see if opening them up spikes the CPU?

Mine always does, then immediately settles down.

Perfect, thats all I needed to know
