You have my sympathy. I would just take it in to repair. So very frustrating. Good luck.

My laptop, which just recently reached its average life limit, has been doing strange things for weeks. Lots of annoying techical issues. They all disappear, but then they come back a few hours or days later. Very annoying.

I'm thinking of bypassing repair and adding what that would cost to whatever a new laptop will cost. Just haven't decided on a laptop.

Google the error and you'll find all kinds of answers. That's what I do with every error I get.

I also do exactly this. There is ALWAYS a ton of information out there. I figure it's the best way to go because I can find information among millions of others, including what's been reported on the Microsoft site and elsewhere.

I doubt it has anything to do with the pop up wanting you to upgrade to Win10. Do you have Win7 or Vista?

Here is one Google result for Windows 8.1 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/high-cpu-usage-by-com-surrogate/6c4411e7-2650-4ad9-a4dd-453ebac28b22

This is an extreme solution. Windows is having a problem with the System 32 files.

Please have a copy of all data files,photos, favorites in IE etc. to an external HD.

This problem is not going away using Malwarebytes. Please do a Google search for a possible solution.

I hope you don't mind my chiming in, @goldensrbest, but this DOES sound like a problem related to the Windows 10 upgrade here. I have Windows 7 as well. What many users don't realize is that MS (without any manual interference by the user) will download Windows 10 OS to your computer (in readiness to install it). Now they've even become more aggressive in installing without permission. The errors you're experiencing would seem to be from overloads to the processes mentioned in the errors. I've posted a fix for the Windows 10 cleanup in a thread below with information and how it works. I hope you'll give it a try as it's working well for those who have reported back, and I've been running it here for several months.

Goldensrbest,

It depends on when you purchased it. QVC will take it back and exchange. But not sure when you bought it.

Next, look through your material/user manuals and find the phone number for the computer company and give them a call. It should still be in warranty if your purchase was recent.

Hope this helps,

Janet
