Process powershell.exe starts and eat up the memory

Laptop brand: EliteBook 8440p
Operating System: Windows 7
Problem: I find out that a process named powershell.exe runs several times every day and once it starts up it will eat up my memory, costs physical memory about 90%. Then my PC becomes very slow. It will stop itself after a few minutes. Please advise, thanks a lot...

Use Process Explorer or some other tool to see what it is running ( command line ) and / or which process triggered it. It might be a scheduled task or something. If so, remove it if you think it is unintended.
