Question: Why Would Iexplorer Consistently Zoom Up To 100% CPU Usage With Just Ten Browsers Open?

The computer is dying. Sometimes it takes me five minutes to write a pargraph, waiting for it to to manage the heavy-processing task of recording a single sentence's worth of data.

And a second Iexplorer keeps popping up on my task manager, too.

Is it time to just wipe this piece of crap and reinstall Windows for the fourth time?

I guess so. I am going to wipe this disgrace of a computer so hard it'll have nightmares.

PS, this is a Dell laptop. I used to think Dell's were pretty much okay as far as quality. I have to tell you, this thing is awful, has always been awful, has not worked since I took it out of the box, and no one at Dell Tech Support in Texas, or rather Mumbai, seems to give a rat's ass.

I have had this just over a year. I have had to wipe it and reinstall Windows for one reason or another three times already.
