When I start the computer everythings ok, but after a while sometimes minutes sometimes hours the CPU usage goes to 100% and the commit charge say`s all my memory is being used. The only way that I can rectify this is to shut down explorer and restart it from the windows task manager. this removes a lot of the programs sitting in the tray, not that this is a problem. I have tried disabling all the programs in the tray to no avail. this all seemed to start when some Microsoft updates were intalled one of them being an explorer update. I have run System Mechanic 6 and numorous adware and spyware programs and of course antivirus, (Norton). Has anyone any ideas before I reformat. Thank You. Additional Info: Page Faults are rising constantly in Explorer.exe, Iexplore.exe and 1 instance of svchost and I would like to thank everyone for their input, I am trying everything.
