I have a couple questions about my PC. Lately it has been acting really retarded (For lack of a better word,) mainly it will do things like cause my VLC player to run VERY slowly (So that audio and video slows down and gets choppy i guess you could say) and this is with only It and the bare number of services running (to my knowledge) Also, i have been getting Access violations and 'The memory at Blah blah Cannot be read' when i play Starcraft 2 (Something else that has never happened before)
My specs are listed in the 'My Specs' Section of my profile thing, i use the Free version of Avast for A/V and AUSlogics boostspeed for general performance increase (Faster and more efficient HDD and Registry defrag, Optimization tools, etc etc)
So my questions are as follows;
1.) What could be causing these problems? Windows updates?
2.) What is the best way to check my computers overall performance or find out where the crap my CPU's power is going and what is using up all my Ram?
I have 55 processes open as of writing this, CPU is at 100% (Prime95 is taking up 85+ Percent, saw it on the Starcraft Forums, says it is like a stress tester or something.)

Computer Slows Down
Computer is insanely slow, and shuts down randomly - posted in Windows Vista: Laptop boots and takes forever to get to a 'full run', then the machine is very slow. WHen runnign searches via Google. If the hard disk doesn't have very much space, it will slow the process down. If your computer has less than 10 percent of the total hard drive space free, it will begin to slow down. Too many fragments. Visual studio for mac preview 615. Fragmented data can cause the read/write function of your hard drive to slow down. Set up a schedule to defragment your hard disk regularly.
