First off, do you have avast set to scan while the screen saver is running?
Do you have a program like Norton Ghost, Goback, or the Windows Indexing service running?
If not, check your processes list (ctrl+alt+del) Do any of those show abnormal cpu usage? If so what is the process name.
Do you have abnormal network activity?
Awnsering any of this could help diagnose your problem.
Note to RedSector:

Ok, Vee
although I do know much (at least that is what people tell), I don’t know everything, so please respond in the forum instead of pvt next time. That way other people can have a look also and may see things I overlook.
This is the result of the HJT log file analyzer. To avoid confusion: I used the latest version which is not yet available to the public, since I am still working on it. So don’t get confused about the version nummer of it. I will look at all items in your log the analyzer doesn’t have info on and will implement it in the next version.
I will come back if I find anything interesting after manually checking your log file. In the mean time, please follow the instructions on my page (signature link) and after doing so tell us here if you still have problems and what they are (if there are any)
Analyzer version : 3
bad.dat version : 8
good.dat version : 8
rec.dat version : 1
