Worked on a friends PC, which had 88 GB of junk/temp files, when I got it, the case fan, would speed up & down, rhythmically. Next I did chkdsk c: /r (approx 9 hrs), after that the fan was smooth & steady, & did not speed up. I was kind a dumbfounded by this, any ideas why chkdsk cured? Same machine did all kinds (HMP, MBAM, RK, 360total, ADW) of malware scans & malware free. I noticed after all this, every few seconds, the mouse pointer would go from pointer to hour glass, with out, doing anything. How could i determine, easily who's causing this, other than disabling startups one by one, and it might not even be a startup Thanks Rico
