    THEN WHO WAS PHONE!?!?

    Seriously though. You've probably got a virus, some of them do freaky ass shit to your computer, I had one once that just played random songs from my music library and probably corrupted them too.

    @PeasForFees:

    Yes, your computer will shut down. You can only stop certain processes without causing your computer to spazz out, and even then most of the non-essential windows processes will simply start right up again, as will viruses. So my advice is to literally google all the processes that look suspect, often what people do is call the process something very similar to a normal windows process (Such as CSRSS instead of CRSS or whatever I cant remember which is the normal one) so google them all and usually theres some info about what they are and whether or not they are safe.

    Do this^ Just look over ones, you don't need, and ones that are random letters and google them, if you don't have anything do the same with anything unusual.

    If you simply ended the process it probably wont fix it, it will probably restart next time your computer does (a lot of that stuff auto starts on startup, google it and see if theres any info on how to remove it)

    Best just to copy paste the processes into google, the first search that comes up will tell you where it originates from and if it's safe. I've seen a lot of weird process names before but google soon cleared up what application was using it.
