I have an HP P4 computer (with 1GB of RAM), and it seems like even when I'm not running a whole lot, the system fan kicks in, and things run slow when it's on.
I check Task Manager when it happens, and the processor isn't at 100%, which is where I thought it'd be. It hangs anywhere between 4%-15%, usually single digits. Did a defragment yesterday, and it didn't happen until now. When it usually happens, either IE7 is open (one window) or Windows Media Player... whatever the newest version is.
Anything else I should check? Thanks for reading!
