Firefox, with 3 tabs open, is the only window I have open. And the computer is just sitting there constantly loading, making that loudass fucking loading noise that they all make. And it says there are no processes working it, it is using 2% of the CPU. Quoting: WTF 761015What the unholy fuck is it doing? I hate that noise. God I hate that noise. And it just doesn't stop. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 748723 United States 11/02/2009 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never heard noises when it's loading, or recall them. But this evening I was reading one of the serious threads, a Ukraine topic, and the pages started flipping. Then started hearing a lot of sounds, strange at that.I had to get out, finally shut the computer down at the wall. Computer seems fine now, I don't know what happened. But it really freaked me out at the time. Lol, my first thought was it was someone from the government. Nah, that wouldn't happen.... |

Because it is clearly not the CPU... How do I even find out what activities it is up to? Ctrl+Alt+Del gives me nothing useful. I closed everything and restarted, and it is still just sitting here CONSTANTLY sputtering away at some unknown task. |

I wonder if it hasn't been hijacked by some bitcoin miner and they're using my machine to mine. I'm going to update my Linux and use a SSD so i won't have to listen to that shit. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
