Computer is running noticeably slower, so I ctl+alt+del & saw that my CPU Usage is in constant fluctuation (from 10-60%) while I'm not closing or starting any currently running processes. I updated Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware & ran it, but got nothing.

If it helps, I first noticed this problem when streaming videos (such as from justin.tv) would continue stopping after just a few mins. Couldn't be an internet problem though, b/c I'm not having an issue going to any websites.

Any ideas what's going on?

Computer is running noticeably slower, so I ctl+alt+del & saw that my CPU Usage is in constant fluctuation (from 10-60%) while I'm not closing or starting any currently running processes. I updated Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware & ran it, but got nothing.

If it helps, I first noticed this problem when streaming videos (such as from justin.tv) would continue stopping after just a few mins. Couldn't be an internet problem though, b/c I'm not having an issue going to any websites.

I'd suggest you post the above in our
