I have an Dell XPS M140 laptop i need to use until I get my cpu back (RMA).
Sound is all choppy and the cpu is maxed out with chrome open.
Never used to do this.
Solutions?
Virus?
No, just reformatted it.
Doubt it would cause the cpu to do that but do you have all the correct drivers installed?

I don't even know.
Where could I go to check.
[QUOTE=djjkxbox;16301843]What process is maxing out the CPU, is it chrome?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, mainly when i'm trying to watch videos.
If you go into the task manager and click the 'Processes' tab and click CPU (to sort it by how much CPU it's using) and something called 'System Idle Process' is running, that's normal. If it's a svchost, you can try to end the process, but sometimes it'll make you restart your computer.
Sorry if I was just stating the obvious, lol.
My friends XPS did that, also one of the cores stopped working. Also it melted :v:
