March 11, 200521 yr My laptop fan was apperently running non-stop because CPU Usage was at 100 % ...but I was nothing out of the ordinary then i usaually do? Don't know why it jumped to 100%? Don't know about this stuff? But I figured out at least that much...why the fan was running... I know Admin has a Dell laptop, i think... maybe he could help? Do you think that a drop of the laptop from maybe 10 inches from a carpeted floor would cause any damage? :confused or would it take a significant drop to cause damage? thanx! for any comments!
March 11, 200521 yr Author should the cpu usage be mantaining a certain percentage? it's switches to 6% to 11% and spikes a lot higher real quick then returns...? What tells you if your hardware is damaged..or any strange problems, by looking at your Task Manager? I mean i don't fully understand the Task Manager?
