Screen flickering, fan working at max, slow CPU!

by oskar_selin . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

I have a problem. When my computer has been on for some time one of the fans starts working at max, the CPU rise to 90-100% and my screen flickers for a moment with hundreds of lines over the screen. Note that the flickering goes away after some seconds and that its only the left fan thats working, the right seems to be dead.

When i restart the computer the flickering, slow CPU and crazy fan is gone but instead both of the fans are dead and the computer shuts down from overheating.

I first thought i had a trojan so i removed everything, reinstalled vista and its still here. And another thing to mention, when i open up the “activity, process window” i can see that my CPU is 100% but there is no process to take all that power!

Thanks alot for any help,
