CARRY on...Hi Dazon,
The problem may not be with Java... it sounds like you're overclocking. What make is your computer system, what is it's age, what OS are you currently using, what version of Java did you grab from Open Source, and what development environment (compiler, builder, and runtime environment) are you using? If you have an older computer, you may lack space on your HD or enough RAM. If using a tower, you can easily add CPU and RAM, but they need to be added together to speed up your computer, ADDING one without the other will not do much of anything- make sure that you are grounded during repairs, don't bend the pins on the CPU, and careful doing anything with the BIOS. You could also add a new magnetic HD. Disk space also helps. I prefer Netbeans over Eclipse and build in Java 7. I have a Mac IOS Lion 10.7.2, but through my Virtual Box, can also access GNU/Linux, Solaris, Ubantu, Unix, and Microsoft- sounds like you may have Microsoft, and are using Textpad- which is a large, inflexible, CPU eating, proprietary OS that lacks scalability. If your time and date are also wonky, check your battery. Increased voltage in CPUs increases heat in the unit. If using a laptop try buying a stand to keep it cool and elevated. If you have a tower, make sure that the back is not against the wall, and the front is not blocked or obstructed by books or other things on your desk. Fans and proper ventilation keep computers cool. If your computer is freezing up, it is probably due to your CPU being overheated because you are over clocking. Wow...

What?!

OP (dazon): What do you mean by "I was using Java"?  What exactly were you doing?  For the record, Java is not a program, it's a programming language.  Possibly you're referring to the Java Virtual Machine that runs within a browser, but until you're more specific, it's going to be hard to assist.ok i'm not sure exactly how my computer is but i bought it from ebay about 2-3 years ago (all i know is that the person who sold it t me builds computers and sells them himself) i'm using a tower, i have windows xp professional 2002 sp3, Intel Pentium 4, CPU 2.8GHz, 2.00GB ram. the reason i say it's jave is because everything else runs fine except java, either in a browser or when running games from my desktop (right now my cpu is running between 0 & i was using java 6 but since it started playing me up i have tried to use java7 and even got a java 5.22 and stopped updates. My pc is well ventilated and since i assumed it might have been over heating i even took the liberty of taking the side panel of and putting my wall fan at the side of it to see if that made a difference. I have recently noticed that when java starts it uses 111,000k mem (approx) & 70-95 CPU then jumps to 310,000k mem (approx) & 90-99 CPU but doesn't got below 97 CPU after reaching it's peak.   Am sorry but I don't actually know what OS is   What protection apps do you have installed and when was the last time you updated and ran them ? ?I use AVG free.. always have, since the problems it was suggested that i download ''super anti-virus free and malwarebytes which i have done.. they found only cookies on my slave HD which have been removed.Can you post the process ID of java shown in task manager being mentioned?

assuming by process ID you mean what comes up in task manager it's   javaw.exe

I'd just like to add to all that are '' Thanks for trying to help, it's much appreciated''  Do you have an HP printer installed ? ? Quote from: dazon on February 08, 2012, 05:32:11 PM

What is "super anti-virus free"?  I've NEVER heard of it and I believe I've heard of nearly all of them.  Can you post a link to their website? Quote from: soybean on February 09, 2012, 09:16:37 AM

my bad it's anti-spyware found here>> http://www.superantispyware.com/index.html

No I don't have a printer scanner or anything like that... the only thing i have that didn't come with my pc is linksys wireless adapter and my graphics card (ATI RADEON 9800XT) also i got this graphics card 2 days after it all started had ATI RADEON 9250 before that.Well you have 2 choices...turn off javaw.exe in services.msc and test to see if Java still works in your webpages ...or

Completely un-install all previous versions of Java using the uninstaller at their site and DLoad and install the latest version.
