Process chewing up CPU but not connected to the websites I have open...help
Hi all, I usually have about 5 windows open, just regular websites. Suddenly my fan goes beserk and I look at the processes where on one firefox.exe the CPU is at 40-50 and everything slows to a crawl. When I press end process, it shuts down, the fan stops and browser speed goes back to normal. What is running in the background and how do I stop it?
Thank you

Could you please run a tool from http://memtest.org/
in order to check the integrity of your RAM?
You will need a thumb or disk drive to install it on.
Do you let Windows handle the page file or did you set a fixed size ?
If you use a fixed size for the page file then try the former and let Windows handle the page file.
