    High CPU Memory and Disk usage, and frequent BSOD


    Ive got an 3 year old PC that has recently become practically unusable because it randomly freezes or gives me blue screens and i have no idea what the problem is.


    The main symptom I see is high CPU, memory and disk usage mainly from the system services Antimalware Service Executable, SysMain, WMI provider host, etc. After a while it calms down, but as soon as I open any app it spikes back to 99%.


    I have tried literally everything I could think of. The most drastic things I’ve done are:

    -I deleted practically all third-party software

    -I reset my computer

    -I got rid of the OS completely and reinstalled windows.


    It might be a hardware problem, but I’m not sure what component could be causing it.

    :)

    High Disk, Cpu, Memory usage problem

    Whenever I turn on my pc I open task manager and always see 90%+ disk usage. But just yesterday I started seeing high cpu and memory usage. Mostly in memory. I tried looking at forums and YouTube videos to try to fix this problem but wasn't able to fix
    the problem. I'm really worried since my pc cost was around $1,000. I need to know if anybody has a solution to this problem.
