Hi all, I've been silent on the forums for quite a while now with school picking up in my final year, but I have still been reading some of the posts.
Anyway, onto my question: I have a Dell Inspiron 700m and I've been having some troubles with the DVD reading recently. I'm fairly sure I have a few viruses on my computer but in a few weeks when exams are done I'm gonna format anyway so I'm not all that concerned with killing them, but I was curious if these viruses could be the reason for the sketchy playback I've recently been experiencing with my DVD player. My CPU usage goes through the roof and causes everything to heat up and work slowly. And another thing just dawned on me too, could viruses be causing my laptop to heat up beyond normal levels as well? Thanks for the help.
