Ok I just put new ram into my computer about a week or so ago and I noticed in the past few days that my computer has been running real slow. I load up the computer today and it took so long to boot I thought it shut down again. When I checked the TM it said my CPU Usage was about 61%. Now wth did that? I don't recall having anything running in the background. How do I fix/ change this? It is causing me to have serious issues when I cast. <p></p><i></i>

Make sure your mobo Bios is set properly for the new ram. Also make sure you put the largest stick in slot 1, closest to the CPU. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="

hmmmmm ok I didn't think about the bigger stick going closer to the cpu. I will fix that and get back to you on it and tell you how it worked. Thanks for the help. <p></p><i></i>

and make sure to check for spyware, adware, and viruses. Those processes can run in the background and chew up cycles.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Look at task manager and tell me what process is consuming the CPU %. <p></p><i></i>
