100% CPU leads to reset button

Well, it was never so much about memory use or processor time as it was long system startup, long app startup and the random freezes. If you have the A/V software you might want to try uninstalling, see how things run and then reinstall if ther is no difference. On a side note I will say that Eugene Kaspersky is one of the top people in the A/V field and I have alot of respect for the product.

I am not trying to insult you myself the way I do things I try to cover all the bases some times it makes me write or say things that seam insulting to an experienced person.

I know and no offense taken nor assumed. I was just letting you know where I was at.

I do see some very high cpu spikes with KAV, but primarily at system start up.

what u could do is not have so many prcesses running.

example.
acrotray.exe is probly not needed i guess
and ati2evxx.exe is not needed

i have ati card and uses same process
mine isnt running and works fine

u should remove all unneeded applications that are running

[lynchknot]

they both use under 3mbs.

[Detekt]

oh ok, so u have 1gb of ram
then it wont make any difference.

u said high cpu usage.
and u multitask
then are u running lots of applications?

one thing i know is, my computer isnt multi-functional
i cant be running many applications or it slows down alot
and im running p4 2.4ghz + 256mb 2700ram

i'd think i need upgrade
and ur cpu should need upgrade aswell for better performance

or if u wanted to u could reinstall windows and see if its still the same

I have given you all the knowledge I have on this subject and it seems I have confirmation on the CPU upgrade thing. Maybe you should try uninstalling Kaspersky leaving it that way for a while and see if anything changes. If there are not I would suggest an XP 2700+
