Hello tpu,
Ok i have my gf's laptop here and its doin my nut in , ill explain.....
Its a pretty old lappy, cely 2.4ghz, 256 pc 2100 ddr ( running single channel ), 80g hd, winxp sp2
Model is acer travelmate 240
Anyway i have it running for about 2 mins after start up and there are 3 instances of svchost.exe running so nothing out of the norm, but then one svchost.exe starts eating memory and cpu, first its 25% then 50% and finnaly 100% and it will grind to a halt, ive tried nod32 and avg both jus grind to a halt become unresponsive and then i have to hit the power to turn it off.
I have searched tpu and others for similar probs but nothing like this.
Any ideas or should i just re-install ?
Many thanks
Gam
