I Sat In Horror...
...as I watched my computer degrade from an organized, efficient machine to a sluggish, unresponsive mess in a matter of minutes. I ran disk and virus checks to no avail. I was beginning to despair, until I did a search (in a molasses-like browsing experience) for sudden CPU usage spikes. Near the bottom of one of the forums linked in the search was an entry about USB devices causing these spikes of death to arise randomly and without trace. In a spark of hope, I ripped out my Logitech wingman USB cord and the CPU usage dropped like a rock. All the trouble I went through and the utter terror I experienced was relieved by the pulling of a plug. *
You know what? Screw my brain after midnight. I was legitimately freaking out less than 15 minutes ago, and now that the problem is resolved I could literally fall asleep in my chair.
