Solve : Slowness when moving my mouse? |
|
Answer» About 2 months ago I noticed that my computer was starting to slow down when I played certain games and when I watched videos. At the time my hard drive was making horrible noises, so I went and bought a brand new one thinking that was the problem and nothing has changed. Tonight however, I discovered the problem. When I move my mouse around my CPU usage goes up to 30-50% from 0-5% when I am doing nothing. When I am watching videos on websites or playing games, it goes even higher causing everything to lag. Could this be a problem with my CPU itself? Or could this all be in my head and be a problem with my video card? Try different mouse.And maybe a different surface.Ok, I tried a ps2 optical mouse and a different surface, no change. I was under the impression that if the CPU doesn't work, it just doesn't work at all. I could be wrong and maybe it is going very slowly?Quote When I move my mouse around my CPU usage goes up to 30-50% from 0-5% when I am doing nothing. I did a search online and apparently this may result in a virus infection, or another running process.

You need to update Java: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 7 Uninstall all previous versions of Java through Add\Remove. I don't think, it has anything to do with your mouse problem, but you need to do it, anyway. What exact process is listed in Task Manager as the main CPU taker? Thanks, I'll update. System Idle Process as main CPU taker.. There is nothing odd running, or using too MUCH. I've been researching alot on my problem but can't seem to find any real cause/solution to this problem. I may have to buy a cheap CPU just to see if that is the problem. So far though, I am not making an progress. Quote System Idle Process as main CPU taker..It's NORMAL. System Idle Process is a percentage of CPU, which is NOT used. At this moment, mine floats between 80-90%. |
