But I'm suspicious of the way the problem worsened after I removed a whole bunch of programs, and am wondering if I did something to screw things up. It may just be that I need a lot more memory and a more powerful computer generally (and if new computer was an option, I'd so be getting one).

This did make the general functioning of my computer improve, but the distortion thing seems to have been radically worsened.Īny steps you've taken to troubleshoot? See above re. I cleared as many programmes off it as I could, and moved the vast majority of my data off the main hard drive. I was using it pretty heavily - I'm coding on it and running MySQL and Ruby on Rails - so I wasn't hugely surprised. When did the problem start? Has it been going on constantly since then?

Usually the CPU spikes comes from either Firefox of VLC, but occasionally I find I just can't spot them in Task Manager - only see that they have spiked. I use VLC media player to play anything that's not online. It happens intermittently the whole time I am playing anything as far as I can tell the distortions occur when CPU usage jumps to a crazily high amount.
