Gest.exe is the highest at 1% at idle in task manager
Launching diskmgmt.msc hardware interrupts in process explorer goes up
to 25%
while cmdagent goes to 10% in task manager as its highest cpu %.
cmdagent is commodo internet security so no problem there.
It seems like a hard drive problem to me hence the question on what
hardware to
check related to the hard drive.
