Here's your explination of what task manager is showing you.

The problem you describe sounds like something on the machine is running at high CPU utilization. Using task manager, go to the processes tab and click on CPU to sort by cpu time the next time it occurs. Note what you were doing, and the name of the application. Try to determine what the application is doing. Look for updates to the application.

Post back once you've identified it, if you need further assistance

 

thank u so much but well i wana know what is the meaning of paged and nonpaged files..and what is the meaning of commit charge..totals ,handels and threads?..what does all that means...sorry for bothering with silly questions..

 

Please take another look at that link. It explains in minor detail what those things measure. If you have specific questions after reading that, feel free to post a followup question. A lot of information can be searched on the web too, tons of info about most of this stuff out there,

 

Thanks Ben,
A nice succinct explanation of a couple of things I needed refreshment on.
