[QUOTE="Rhone, post: 507750, member: 52477"] Something is very wrong with this machine and I am not on my pc 24/7 anymore so i let it go but its starting to become an unavoidable issue so here i am. This has been ongoing since I recieved this computer as a hand me down from a friend about a year ago. Its been getting worse. i found this website by googling "mutiple instances of plugin.exe" and saw someone with a similar problem get helped. Symptoms: Super, super lag in simply even using the browser alone. multiple instances of plugin.exe and svchost.exe, my task manager is like 50 things long and all i use is vlc and firefox and steam and blizzard's client, not all at once either. other times, the computer has simply let out a glitchy shriek and crashed dead. other times, commonly, the screen will blank out for about 3 seconds and return, but that coud be a seperate issue--this laptop has a broken screen and i HDMId it to an hd tv. it did this with an asus hd monitor too. I havent done anything. its been years since i even tackled a problem mlike this. i used to use a similar website to this and follow the walkthrough but its been so long i need it dumbed down for me right from step one. things are very different than they were back in 2006-2009 when i was heavily into being on my computer lol. downoading and using programs takes hours due to the lag on the machine so i didnt wanna do anything i didnt have to do or download the wrong stuff. Please help. Pic included. this is just the browser running and its at half CPU capacity lol [/QUOTE]
