Ok, so after my computer acted very weird today (massive noises from the cpu, overheating and automatic shut down) I was looking through the processes and I saw there csrss.exe. I googled it and I came around the information that if not placed in C:/Windows/System32 it's a Trojan. Well I right clicked it and selected properties and show file location but they didn't work (nothing happened). I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Is it a trojan? Right now my PC is running as usual but I have some suspicions. Kaspersky didn't say anything so... Anyways, thx in advance

EDIT:

Opened the tab show processes from all users and I found two instances of csrss.exe running, I opened the file location and both were from System32. So is there still something to worry about?

A 2 second google showed this to be a standard windows system file that is required, multiple copies running isn't an issue and is normal...

Feel free to try and terminate the process, as long as you like the colour blue and restarting your computer that is...

Different countries, different google results. Well thx Kbramman but still, anybody knows what could have caused the massive overheating on my cpu?

EDIT: Thanks to Nemko also, if MS said that then I am happy.

has it been abnormally hot there recently? ambient temperature can affect the ability of fans/heatsinks to dissipate the heat a lot.

other than that maybe give any fans a clean to make sure they're free of dust etc? Unless you're sure it's a software problem.

Also keep an eye on task manager etc to monitor the cpu usage

could also be the latest ATI drivers, they tend to overheat :O

of course, depending on which GPU you have.

1) install HWmonitor and see if your system is generally running hot or if its an isolated problem
2) check for dust and filth buildup in on the heatsynks and fans on your cpu, gpu, psu and case intakes and outputs
3) check your windows error logs and see if its bsod'ing due to another problem
4) clean everything and keep trooping cos i doesnt afraid of anything
5) replace system cos its just too old

It's not the drivers (I have an old 7600 GT silentpipe), as for the dust stuck up in the fans an heatsinks, well I usually once a month clean up everything with a wet paintbrush (I don't turn on the computer that day/I plug off the system while doing it). I think it's just the fact that the system it's a lil' bit too old. I'm saving money for a new one. COmpuetr crashed when I was on ze netz.

EDIT:
This is what HWmonitor says about my system. Is it any good? I have no idea

A wet paintbrush?? Seriously??? Please tell me that is a joke...

Temps are a tad on the high side, but not knowing CPU or if you have a stock cooler or 3rd party one on it its difficult to say for sure.

Best idea is to go and get a replacement fan and some thermal compound (it the fan doesn't come with it) and replace the old one until you get a new computer...

Oh yeah, and don't use a wet paintbrush on it any more....

yeh the wet paintbrush is a rly bad idea, when the water dry's it'll leave blobs of hardened dust that could bridge something. from reading your other thread about what rig you got, those temps are pretty avg. except you have no cpu temps that i can tell anyways. the top bunch of readings are for the psu, 2nd lot are mobo, 3rd and 4th are obviously fans, 5th is the gpu and 6th is your hdd. all i can think of is that TMPIN1 reading but it should be labled cpu if thats what it is


and 2 temp diodes on your mobo are borked.
