Hey there, Im new to this forum. You guys have a whole lot of smart people and information here. i've tried diagnosting this problem 2 days now and i still haven't fixed it yet. Problem is, taskmanager is showing that explorer.exe is causing the cpu usage to jump even at idle. in 10 seconds or so, it jumps from 0 - 60% or so.
i have:
removed the registry key in case i have a corrupted .avi file
removed the indexing service
removed the remote desktop sharing service
after fumbling around and messing with stuff, i realized that explorer.exe only spikes up to 60% when im connected to my router. if i pull out the cat5 cable, the system runs normally. i've updated the firmware for my router. usually i would scroll through forums and find my answer there but i cant seem to find this one... if anyone can provide any type of help, i would greatly appreciate it.
i dont know if this would help but i also have the hijackthis log:
