URGENT HELP!

[march12314]

There is a problem with my computer where after time passes by a little, system idle process takes up 99 of the CPU, when typing it doesn't type by instead uses hotkeys that program may have, the mouse wheel does not work and when I try open a folder or start a program, it always instead displays it's properties. Help. Is this normal? Virus? Help me, it's getting annoying.

hi, if system idle is showing 99 under cpu, that is fine. As regards the rest, check your settings in control panel, mouse. Also, would you be able to borrow a keyboard to see if the problem is still the same?

Holding ALT and double-clicking on a folder or program will automatically open the properties of the specific item. Alt can also refer to shortcuts. So, its possible that the key is registering for some reason on its own.

So, do this :

System Idle means exactly that. The CPU is 99% idle. Not doing anything. Which is normal for an idle machine.
As AuntieJ said, try a different Keyboard to see if the problem persists.

Yes I do have another keyboard but you'll have to bare with me as it does happen whenever it wants. The mouse goes crazy when system idle is at 99. Same with the keyboard.

New. When I play a game and this occurs it stops the mouse from scrolling anywhere as if the screen locked. ( but in a shooter game i can still move. Just cannot aim elsewhere which you know is very annoying and well... kinda makes it unenjoyable at times.
