looks fine to me, what's screenhunter? When was the last time you defragged your hard drive, installed the os, done any type of maintenance?

heh, print scrn always worked well for me. Hmmm, well, honestly your performance tab will tell you a little more. It doesn't seem like your CPU is being overworked, how is the load on your memory?

here's what it says without the computer beeping...

and here's what it says when listening to some music with the computer beeping away...

the beeping is a dee doh dee doh dee doh dee doh. actually, my computer is running fine, it's just that the beeping annoys me.

... if a beep is coming from the machine when you do anything graphically intensive it's almost certainly overheating, the PC is running shit to protect its parts from melting. One of your fans might be fucked, check the fan speeds in the BIOS or alternatively just look under the hood. Like I said I bet dust is the culprit.

I'm not sure if you already do this or not, but when you clean the dust out of your computer, use a vacuum hose to suck it out. Don't blow the dust off, it will just settle back down or get blown into a less accessible place in the computer.

explore.exe is windows explorer or what controls your desktop.

The problem is if you got something nasty, you won't see it in task manager!
Its not hard for a program to hide itself. Theres a lot of shit out there that will slow your system down.
I use 2 PC's ones dirty, ones clean. Only ever take the clean PC to trusted websites.

yah, if you're running a windows OS you should do a clean install at least once a year. I reinstall my OS three times a year, basically at the start of every semester.
