Hi
I have an XP service pack 3 system with an intel pentium R 3.6 processor, and 2 GB of Ram. For quite a while now when I try to listen to some music, every minute or so, something uses up my CPU power, so much so that them music makes a horrible scratchy sound and plays slow, and then after a few seconds goes back to normal. Could anyone give me an idea what i could check to see what may be causing this. I have run the anti virus, and Mbam, and they have found nothing. Also i get the same problem if I close down or open a program, or even a web browser, I get the music sounding scratchy and stopping as if something is using my system resources. It happened just now when i opened the task manager, a huge spike shows up on the CPU usage window, and the music is distorted.
thanks Kwisj
