CPU Usage/computer slows down

[BoggyP]

Hi

I have a problem that I require help with. It seems that if I leave µtorrent on for an extended period of time (sometimes as low as 2 hours) while my computer is idle (and only once while it wasn't) than CPU usage gets higher than normal. The things that tend to get really CPU usage heavy (constantly fluctuating) is services.exe, DPCs and System Idle Process. I'd assume the Idle one is cool, don't know about the others. The leaving on of µtorrent causes my pc to slow down. I usually have to restart the pc for it to be usable again. Everything goes slowly. Sometimes there is lag on the mouse and keyboard as well forcing me to restart.

Also I've noticed that if µtorrent is left on and isn't yet extremely slow than if I download anything in firefox or any other browser I've tried that it tends to cause the computer to slowdown immensely. That always causes keyboard and mouse lag and can also usually be fixed by restarting.

Here is the hijack:

I couldn't find a way to copy and paste so I took a screen shot and cropped it.

If there is anyway you can help let me know

Thanks,

If you had highlighted the utorrent.exe process in process explorer when you saved the list, it would have the dll list.

[BoggyP]

1) I did that. I assumed that's what I had to do for the first list.

2) I just uninstalled AVG and my computer is now running at normal speed, I havn't restarted, so maybe it was a problem with AVG? I wouldn't say that the problem is solved because I have to leave the computer idle for a bit to know. So take a look at the log and let me know.

Thanks,

BoggyP
