Any way to see what's hogging my PC?

[ricky_skyline]

I'm having an issue that when i'm playing a game my pc starts freezing, is like a background program is hoagging my CPU or maybe HDD, anyone knows a tool to record or detect that? I can't do anything when the lag starts and then it freezes totally.

Have you tried running MSCONFIG and taking a look at Startup to see what is running in the background? I know there are other ways to see what is running but MSCONFIG will allow you disable startup items. Another option, to see what is using the most resources, is to press CTRL+ALT+DEL, click on Start Task Manager, look in processes to see what is using the most memory. You could also click on the Performance tab and then click on the Resource Monitor button and then click on the memory tab.

Give CCleaner a run to clean up registry errors, junk files, and other resource wasting crap.

My startup it's ok. Look at this screen, is that program called "system" hogging my HDD.

I'd update Comodo and run a FULL virus scan. Next. I'd run Malwarebytes and have it do a malware scan: https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Btw, I used to use Comodo for years, but it would give me problems similar to yours. You may want to uninstall Comodo and use Microsoft Securities Essentials for a while just to see if it is causing the problem. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download
