processor over heating????

J

Dear friends
iam facing a strange problem when ever iam using more than one program at a time (opening two word documents copying files etc) my processor speed will increase to 90-100% and my system became very slow. When i tried to copy files form one drive to another i cannot do any other applications even to open a document it will take nearly 5 minute and my processor is making a very big sound like generator. Suggest me something to eliminate this problem

here is the configuration of my pc

it cud be either that DMA is not enabled 4 ur drives or ur pc is infected with some virus.
first check whether DMA is enabled,then check if any particular process/thread is eating very high resources in task manager.if u find any close it and run anti-virus scan.

open ur processor fan and fit it tightly again.

it looks like whenever you load ur cpu the performance goin down so check your heatsink is installed correctly ,if needed apply some good thermal paste.
