Few Questions

Hey everyone, I just found this site and I'm not sure if yo guys will help me or not because its my first post but I'll give it a try. First off, I am not sure if this is in the right section so mods feel free to move it.

1. In the bottom right corner of my laptop the connectivity thing where it has like two monitors and a globe, is always changing. Like every two minutes it goes from a globe to a yellow triangle with a exclamation point. Now my connection I don't think is bad because on xbox my wireless connection is golden. Now when the connectivity changes I can't load the webpage and I have to keep retrying until the globe is back. Now that is a pain in the ***.

2. My CPU usage is always very high, most of the time at 100%. Now I am only 14 and I don't know much but from what I know it is only supposed to be up to like 20. Correct me if I'm wrong.


3. Last question. This is a simple one. What is the best browser to use?

 

1. Are you connecting wirelessly with your laptop or by cable? If wireless, have you looked to see the signal strength?

2. You're referring to Task Manager, right? Have you looked at the list of programs running in Task Manager to see which one(s) are consuming CPU resources? The percentage of CPU usage will vary, of course, depending on what you're doing with your computer. If you not doing anything and you have no program open that is actively executing a process, the percentage should really go lower than 20%, maybe as low as only 2 or 3%.

3. I don't think there's an absolute answer for that. Personal preference is a factor, so one browser might be best some some users and another browser best for other users. Firefox is a popular alternative to Microsoft's IE. And, Google's Chrome has made significant gains in percentage of users using it since it's introduction. Firefox and Chrome are quite different and Firefox is an easier transition from IE because its menu bar is similar to IE; Firefox is also very customizable. Again, it boils down to user preference. There's no harm in having several browsers installed. So, download 1 or more and take them out for a test drive.

 

1. Im wireless and I am guessing the signal strength is the green bars and there are always 5 green ones.

2. Well, I know my CPU Usage because of smart defrag which tells me that my disk usage is always at 100 percent and most of the time my cpu usage is like that too.
