My computer always seems to be utilizing 100% of the CPU for extended periods of time. When I open task manager the 2 main culprits are System interups & Service Host:Sysmain. I have run all HP diagnostics as I believed from reading it might be a hardware problem. All tests have passed. I thought as my All-in-one came with only 8Gb or RAM it might be struggling so installed an extra 8Gb but his has not helped the problem. Internet pages are slow to load and on occasions the computer will do a soft restart and I have to log back in. I have gone into my startup and have disabled all nonessential programs from starting and have run a full malware and anti-virus scan. If I was to describe the noise my computer makes I would say it sounds like a large fan running.
