The format went good. Im going to check out that hotfix for future reference. It just got to the point where my monitor click off then of about 5 times in a row ever minute or so. It happend when I would click things. Oh well problem solved but I think the article you sent me may solve my other issue if it returns because I do use removable storage. Thank you for the help.

My CPU usage spikes to 100% when I open programs but does not lockup. There might be a glitch in XP there so bite the bullet and format c:\

Don't worry about the outlook express files. After really looking at my emails I only needed like two of them. One was my password for this board. I really think my problem has just come down to the GOOD OLE FORMAT. Thankfully I can back things up and give it a few days and my computer will be back to normal(without a the problems). I do thank you for all your help but I don't think much can be done anymore. Until the next problem.
Thanks for the Help you too Sue.

I opened up the case and all seems to be running fine. I have a 30 Gb portable hard drive that I have backed everything up on but the only thing I can't find are my save emails from outlook express. Is there a way to save them without printing them so I can put them right back and they will be there when I start putting my information back on this computer?

I just checked for you sue and everything is set to display errors. I did check that Sue thank you. About the performance. If I open a progran such as Outlook Express it spikes to 100% for a second maybe freezes for a split second. If I open a game or something like that it freezes at 100% for about 10 seconds still. It shows the CPU is bogging down but im only at half the Memory that my computer has.

Do you have error reporting turned on in control panel/system properties/advanved.?
That might tell you if/or what program, if any, is doing it. I think it is heat related myself.

I was watching the performance and it was sitting around 4-7 when I was reading your msg. When I opened outlook express to get the password to reply it jumped to 100% for a second. Then went back down. Now when I play Sim city 4 or Flight Simulator 2004 it still goes to 100% a LOT. I click on somehting and it locks up all the time. I can't even play them. So thats how my system is doing. Im getting frustrated with it that im thinking about just formatting and saying good bye problems It hasn't come to that though.

I went to RUN and typed msconfig. I looked and didn't see C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe in the startup tab. I did look in the task manager and lsass.exe is in the processes but it won't let me delete it. It says its a critical process.

Okay try this look in msconfig and if this is in there then disable. If it is not then pull up the task manager and end the process tree, and see how the system preforms. We may need to delete that entry.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe

Antother update for you. I am trying to play Sim City 4 and I know that takes up a lot a CPU usage but I can't almost play because it locks up a lot. I have played it a long time ago for a while and it never had done this before. I don't know if any software I have installed would do this but it was nothing out of the ordinary. Im looking in the Task manager at the prcesses and it says sim city is taking up 94% when I have never had these problems before. Any ideas on this problem?

Just sitting there it goes to around 5% but it is spiking to 100% a lot. 50% percent seemed average when things were open

Does it stay at 90% what does it drop to, and how low does it stay at that number?

I have 512 MB of RAM. I do notice my computer spiking to around 90 when I opened internet explorer. I can only imagine what it goes to when I play Flight Simulator 2004. My processor is a Pentium 4 1.8 GHz.

I would check your RAM, is your CPU usage always at %100? Your welcome for the help.

Ok here is what I did so far. I ran Spybot Destroyer and nothing was red indicating spyware. I ran Norton System works WinDoctor and discdoctor to check the hard drive. I was watching the Task Manager and noticed that my CPU Usage was spiking up to 100% when I opened Flight Simulator 2004. I was not able to check that when it locked up because well the cpu was locked. I have a 1.8 GHz processor with 512 MB Ram. I do have the CPU in a DESK Cabinet but I have been leaving the door open. I did check the sides and it is rather cool. Im leaving town until Thursday. I will turn my computer off then when I come home I will turn it on and check FS2004 right after it boots and check to see if it is maybe overheating. But it does seem like the fans are running properly. Any other things Let me know. Thank YOu for the help so far.

Looks like that did not work, sorry about that. If it crashes then if there is an error message let us know. Is your PC overheating? Have you ran Chkdsk? Also you might want to move your RAM in differnt slots, and if you can boot with one stick of RAM at a time.

I usually run Ad-Aware 6.0 frequently and it at most comes up with one thing. It takes care of that. I went to my configuration and had it go to last known good configuration and WOW that sucked. When it started my color was set to 4 bits and I couldn't change that, then I got some dynamic library error. And also a bunch of error messages saying my sound card was not properly installed. Thank god for System Restore. I did restore it back which I have tried before but I went further back. I will see how this is for a day or so and see what it does. Thank you for the help so far.

Hi its been a while glad to see you back. Do you get any error messages? Have you added any new hardware, software? When you boot your system press F8 until you get to the advanced boot menu, when you do get there, choose "last known good configuration, see if that helps, also try and run adaware and spybot. Does the freezing and crashing happen in one particular program or it happens at random times?

I have recently been having some problems with my computer. It all started first when I tried to play Flight Simulator 2004. The screen would start to lock up frequently. I was able to play the game for about 3 weeks with no problems. Now my computer locks up all the time for no reason. As I was writing this it locked up for about 8 seconds. I have tried disabling lots of different programs with no solution. I have norton system works 2002 and I run their tools but it doesn't help neither does the antivirus. Are there any other good tools that are better or anything you may be able to think of? If you need more information just let me know and I can provide it. Thank You
