Excessive Power Usage
I have a Compaq sr1030nx. the past several days it has been running severely slow.
When I look at the usage indicators under the task manager performance tab -- while typing this message, no other apps open (save for spyware software running in the background) -- says i'm using between 1% and 100% of my power and it varies for no reason that I can see. Page File usage goes between 270MB and 100% of the PF availible. After running a partial disc cleanup (approx 75% which took 10-12 hours before I stopped it) of my C drive and restarting the problem got much better but usage still occasionally spikes.
I do have a good amount of music on here (ITunes). About 5 GB worth. Only a few programs/software. I'm using firefox's newest browser (which also runs like a slug, if at all). No non essential programs are listed in running apps.
More specifics...As of now with much better performance

Keep in mind, this is SIGNIFICANTLY improved from previously when it was running so poorly. In hopes of keeping the problem from happening again, I am seeking the advice of all your kind souls out there who frequent this forum. Thanks in advance!

Re: Excessive Power Usage
what this has to do with HP-UX, I have no idea.
Looks like this should be under Microsioft, moving to more appropriate forum
