My comp's been having strange and inexplicable issues as of late that leave me entirely baffled, and thus I submit the matter to the attention of those far more learned than myself.
The thing is that once the machine's been running for a while (a few hours on the average) it starts becoming increasingly slow at doing
anything, be it opening a folder, running a program, or even changing between open folders and suchlike. And there does not appear to be any perceivable cause for such slowdown; the temperatures seem okay, fans run properly, nothing odd about the paging file or RAM sizes or other memory-use things, ditto for processor load
(there is a strange pattern where the load of the first core occasionally goes up to nearly hundred for a while and then returns to normal, without any running process showing any such processor consumption - but this happens more when the comp is still working smoothly). In other words everything
should work without a hitch, but... doesn't.
To boot this is a very recent phenomenom, and I can't really recall doing anything that might have affected something vital.
Would this be a job for the Ghostbusters (or the repair man anyway), or are there do-it-yourself ways to try to track down and fix the matter ?
