    Lately my computer has been doing this thing where the "loading circle" thing by the mouse pointer will pop up about every 2 seconds. Doesn't matter what I'm doing. I've tried restarting the computer and no fix there. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Check your Windows Task Manager and see which process is eating up CPU usage.
