Well, figured this out as well. Power saving options. It downclocks to save power, and ramps up under stress. Booyaaaa Nice improvement with the CPU upgrade as well. Was pegging out at 100% just doing something simple like opening Chrome. System would sometimes freeze. Now

So, got this thing running like a champ. However, even though the CPU, RAM, and motherboard are all rated for 1333Mhz FSB, it's running at 1066Mhz. There's no option in the BIOS either.

Crossing my fingers here but I seem to have found the culprit. Windows Update in Services. Once I stopped it, the CPU went to 0. Running Chrome or other programs barely affect it She's fast now. Now... to tie up loose ends and do a little further investigation!

I hit it with several different options. I subscribe to Norton, I'll install and run it, remove when completed. I then hit it ComboFix, then I hit it with Norton

This is one of those crappy walmart deals where it doesn't come with a partition for recovery. The owner has a time frame when they purchase to download it, but no one ever does lol. Reinstalls are always my last resort try, but sometimes the computer just doesn't have it. *shrugs*

This is so awesome, I would pay to see it. Greatest cross-over EVER! If done right, it would be epic!

I have a Dell Inspiron 560 I'm working on for a friend. I work on computers on the side, doing anti-virus services as well as upgrades, and trimming the system for optimal performance, that kind of thing. I'm not a novice when it comes to computers, but I'm no pro either. I went to DeVry for electronic and computer engineering and the hardware end of things is something I'm a pro at. The software I've taught myself about over the years as well as some minor dealings with it at DeVry (like OS installations and such). I learn most of what I need to know from diagnosing, elimination, and research (like googling). I'm competent, we'll say. Or as one of my computer professors once wisely informed us...

This year for Halloween I wanted to round up 2 buddies and go hang out at the bar, each of us dressed as a priest, rabbi, and monk. I thought that would have been funny.

I have two experiences: 1. Was sitting outside with my mom about 10 years ago at night chit chatting, and we watched in awe as several lights danced around the sky in maneuvers that are not possible by conventional aircraft. There were 3 of them I think. They sat still, moved in straight lines slowly, moved in straight lines insanely FAST, and also zig zagged around each other insanely fast, then stopping suddenly. Didn't make any noise either.

Why did the scarecrow get promoted? He was outstanding in his field!

I shaved my entire body once. It was a strange feeling. Almost a feeling of being naked. One's skin feels very different under clothes when shaved, still feels... nude'ish. I have to admit that it also felt feminine to me, but that's more because that is the accepted norm in modern society for girls to be hairless, so it's more of a societal psychological norm thing I think. I do like being kept shaved clean in the nether regions, but it has to do with a personal comfort level than being sissy/feminine/addl related. I feel cleaner, and (I'm just being real here, don't mean to gross anyone out) but I'm one of those guys that disappear when flaccid. It kind of curls up and in. I'm not fat or anything, it's just always done that, and it catches any hair that's there when it does which hurts so I like to stay smooth there.
