|
|
My cpu or hard disk runs constantly even when no programs are running.
I have never had a computer do this before. I checked the task manager and it is showing usuage fluxuation between 6% and 100%.
I can hear it running and the hard drive disk light flickers.
Thank you for your time

Do you have an internet connection to that pc?
I think you have some malware, trrojan etc. and it goes tough on the hardware... Had that and needed a reformat, MS Win issues or faster solved this way.
Or wait for more input. |

Check the task manager and the processes tab. There you can see which process is using the cpu. Click the CPU column to sort on cpu usage.
