I'm running on a Windows XP, 2.4 ghz, 256 mb ram.
I didn't even have this problem until a few days ago, and I bought this computer a year and a half ago. I gave my computer a test and I just successfully opened 10 windows of IE6. Each time I opened a window, my CPU would shoot up to 100%, but then it would fall down to about 7% in just a few seconds. How come it suddenly stayed low after opening 10 windows, but usually stays at 100% from just 2 windows?
And I'm terrible with computers, so I dunno which programs to uncheck on the startup.
