dead performance after closing games.

this used to happen to me when i closed everquest, and now it happens when i close space cowboy-

when i close the game, my computer enters a locked up state for about 4 minutes, like its using all its CPU resources, same goes for when i window-out.

its seriously irritating, any idea what could cause this, and how i can fix it?

My System

Hi,

Firstly, it's not a good idea to "window-out" or "Alt + Tab". Most games do not respond well. Some will be okay, but others will freeze the computer, some will crash, some will lag...

Secondly, run through each of the steps listed under "Common Game Issues" in my signature. Post back with results.
