I had a strange problem happen on my M1730 before, can anyone help ?

I noticed the fan was running quite high on my M1730 earlier, higher than normal. Its not overclocked, its running at 2.8Ghz, i checked the task manager and this is what showed up that was draining my laptop



I tried clicking on System NT Kernel to have a look at the folder but it wouldn`t bring it up, i ran both Nod32/Eset smart security and Spybot search and destroy and both came back clear.

Whilst opening spybot S&D i noticed it was very lethargic to open as if something was draining the resources on my laptop as the fan was going quite high, i then right clicked the task bar to have a look at the task manager again and the task bar itself dissapeared.

After about 10 seconds it came back but very slowly and dim then my desktop dimmed really low and dark, i went to start spybot S&D and it was frozen, a few seconds later the desktop came back to normal and spybot started. Whilst it was running the scan was very slow, its as if it was struggling to work proper.

My Nvidia drivers are 186.03 ....

I dont know if this has anything to do with anything but my mouse USB dongle won`t work in any of the 2 right hand side USB ports, it worked in those previously. The strange thing is that the dongle will work in the rear USB port and the one USB port on the left hand side.

The main issues are that the fan is running all the time at quite a high speed, my desktop is slow and lethargic and the task bar dissapears from time to time and things are locking up and freezing.

Any ideas ?

 

Try creating a new user profile and see if the same thing happens. Profile corruption can sometimes cause many instances of svchost.

If it still occurs, my next guess would be a nasty virus/malware

 

svchost i think is ok, coz they are not eating any cpu..

If you are using vista, try this link to try to optimize things

sorry tried searching for what is causing the system process to eat up memory and cant find any concrete answers in the net.. try either one of these though

1. try to boot in safe mode and see if it happens there as well
2. try to remember what you have installed or what changed in your laptop config when this started happening. If you have system restore points enabled, try to restore to the date before that "Event" happened.
3. if you have a descent virus scanner, try doing a full system scan in safe mode, scan for malwares as well.
4. make sure that you have all OS updates and important drivers updated with the the most recent versions. That includes the bios..
