• The CPU usage reaches 100% and the system locks requiring a hard restart on Windows Vista

  All of sudden the CPU usage reaches 100%, which makes the system dead slow and finally the system stops responding. I have to do a hard reboot to continue using the system.

  I tried to open the Task Manager to see if there are programs or services running that can consume resources and found nothing. The remains of number of CPU use, the graph to use but less than 10 years is hovering at 100%.

  I did not change my system.

  The problem appears on the two accounts that I installed on my operating system.

  I removed all the unwanted programs since the system was started.

  I have McAfee Antivirus installed for more than a year now, and the latest antivirus patches have been installed.

  Help, please.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

• Satellite R830-1GZ - CPU usage high (> 25%) and increase in the speed of the fan after reactivation

  Hi all

  The CPU usage of my laptop shoots upward to 25% (and beyond) and increases in fan speed considerably after waking up, but only when I use an external mouse (Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) - disconnect the mouse once it happened does not solve the problem, so I always have to restart my computer if I let go sleep with the connected mouse.

  I noticed that when this produces the system interrupts - delayed appeals procedure and Interrupt Service routine appears in the resource monitor > CPU > process and seems to explain the increase in the use of the processor.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be most appreciated.

  I use a Toshiba Satellite R830 1GZ with Windows 7 (64-bit). This problem will not occur when I use the same mouse with another laptop (Dell with Windows XP).

  Thank you very much.

• Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

  Hi all

  I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

  THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

  Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

  Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
  However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

  DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

  HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
  I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

  Any ideas more how to debug this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
  It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

  I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

  So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
  Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

  I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
  I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background

• What is the "system idle process" and why it seems to freeze my Windows XP and show the 99% CPU usage?

  This problem sometimes occurs when my computer starts. Today, it happened and actually picked up my internet connection, which also won the update of Flash Player and Internet Explorer open. Also, I couldn't get the Start Menu to open. What is happening to the CPU is too busy doing something else? Is there a way to refresh the process or the CPU?

  Hi Hope_H,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  4. you receive an error message?

  Checking service or program uses high processor usage by using Task Manager.

  To view the CPU usage, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE, click Task Manager, and then click the performance tab.

  Overview of the Task Manager

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/taskman_whats_there_w.mspx?mfr=true

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning

  Original title: Vista processor

  Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start.  Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing.  It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU.  The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off.  Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what?  Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse.  Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1?  It would be preferable to the current situation.  MSCKMA.

• Problem with the Ubuntu CPU usage

  Hello

  We meet a few the next problem with an Ubuntu VM:

  The virtual machine has 8 vCPU (increased from 2 Sockets with 4-core to 8 outlets with a carrot) and the latest VMware tools installed. Even if there is a lot of load on this system, the virtual machine seems to use about 25% to 50% of CPU capacity. The return of the command vmstat 1 during this time is:

  user: 28%

  system: 4%

  inactive: 78%

  wait: 0%

  VCenter statistics shows a spike on the CPU load, but epi only climbs and rest between 25 and 50 percent or a maximum use of 7 309 MHz (about 16,000).

  

  Here are some features of the environment and the virtual machine:

  Server:

  VMware ESXi 5.5

  VMware vCenter 5.5

  HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8

  • 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620 @ 2.00 GHz
  • 96 GB OF RAM
  • QNAP-TS-869U-RP via iSCSI

  VM:

  12.04.4 of Ubuntu LTS (GNU/Linux x86_64 from 3.8.0 - 36-generic)

  VM-Version 8

  8 vCPU

  8 GB vRAM

  Updated version of the VMware tools installed

  What can we do to improve the virtual machine CPU usage?

  Please let me know if you need further information.

  Thanks in advance

  Christian

  Since a thread can use 100% of a vCPU it may be a problem of thread on your application.

  You should look at the use of the individual processor instead of overall consumption.

  Lets say that the application can use only 1 wire but it uses 100%, this means that it will use to 12.5% of the total cpu resources allocated to this virtual machine. (100/8)

• Satellite C650D - the CPU usage is jumping around

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite C650D 2 months ago and I used the Windows 7 that came with it, thinking that it was fine and dandy until a few days ago, he started having random lag spikes.

  At first he just happen when you watch movies (tried 4 different programs, all reinstalled the driver, scanned for malware, defragmented, you name) and then she started to occur outside the viewing of film aswell. Who did it for me, and I installed Windows XP. I did 3 times now, clean install it Windows XP. Initially, it seemed fine. For a few hours, and then it started lagging really bad, not like in Windows 7, but the CPU usage is jumping all over the boundaries between 1% and 99% at random, but there is no process to take it!

  He lags behind what I do, just open the Notepad can blow. I thought that it would work with a format clean, but no, of course the problem reoccured. It might be drivers, see problems in Windows 7 and XP are somewhat different. I'm in my intelligence ends here on what to do, whatever that is would be helpful.

  Hey Buddy,

  Looks like on your laptop is a background passes process that is causing this different and high CPU usage.

  What happens if you install Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk and look in the Manager of tasks? Directly after this installation, you should have a low CPU usage and stable because it s installation of Windows from Toshiba.

• Excessively the CPU usage high on my Equium M70

  Hello

  Recently in the last month my summer CPU usage hit 100% when I m not running any software tax (only internet explore and windows media player).

  It is slowing down the load time and the area near the fan is hot enough.

  I have a Satellite M70-337, with a 1.7 centrino processor and now 2 GB of RAM (formerly 512 megabytes). I upgraded the ram in December and had no problems like that, now it just started happening recently, I have installed everything that would, there is no unnecessary programs running and it was after I restored my computer to factory with the startup disk settings (a month later), he seems to have come from nowhere. On the list of the Task Manager it shows my web browser and Media Player by using most of the CPU, but I could have sworn that they use so far before.

  I don't know if the RAM would have been a factor, but it was the correct RAM for it and windows recognized to 2 GB.

  Why would it suddenly happened any ideas guys?

  Hello

  I have the same model of laptop and at the moment I have no such problems. To be honest, I did new installation OS 3 months ago and after installing Microsoft Update, I noticed this laptop does not work as before. Just for example: if I use IE7 extensively with several different tabs in the Task Manager I can see this need for IE more than 300,000 k of memory and crashes somehow. After the closure of the IE and ending THE process sin Task Manager I can work normally again.

  I don't really know how your operating system is configured, but in the Task Manager, you should see what running process is responsible for the high CPU usage. Maybe some antivir application? Sorry, but it is really not easy to sayt why this happens. Play around with the current process.

• The CPU usage of Flex-2 15 30% when idle after upgrade to Windows 10 * contains large Images *.

  BTW my 15 Flex-2 upgrade to Windows 10 Home took place, working after a few minor updates manual driver (WLAN, graphics)...

  However, since the upgrade, I feel an annoying symptom, which has been reported by users of other brands as well.

  Although I already follow most of related advice (known assassination unnessary process, change of reports), the CPU usage is still constantly around 30%, causing the fan to operate continuously and even more unsatisfactory: extremely affecting the battery life! Using processexplorer that I discovered, that svchost (or one of its processes) is at the origin of the problem, not one of the applications. As I am not able to dig deeper, I wonder what measures taken so far by Lenovo to have the Microsoft fix this problem.

  Attached: screenshots 'notification', 'Treaty', 'system '.

  Other tips are appreciated.

  

  

  

  Mod edit: added warning about large images for those who have slow Internet service.

  Went to manually check tile Lenovo Support and offered an update of SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe.

  Run the update and believe it or not: the CPU usage is almost back to normal (about 4%) with browser open FF and AV SW race. less than 2.5% use svchost. Fan turns down to 'stop' or low speed.

• Very high CPU usage in svchost during playback of an event in a major newspaper of the events using WMI

  Hello

  I have a very high utilization of the processor in the process 'svchost.exe LocalServiceNetworkRestricted' during playback of an event in an event log in Windows 2008 64 SP02 using local or remote WMI.  The same happens using Wbemtest or C++ WMI code.  The use of WbemTest, "Open forum" (identical to one the GetObject of WMI API) read just one of recent events in the event log:

  Win32_NTLogEvent.logfile = "application", recordNumber = 2615657 (in this case, it was the id since the last event in the very large to the Application event log)

  takes 3/4 seconds consuming thant plus 50% of the monitored computer CPU.  This only occurs when the event log is very large (in my case 1 million records), the event log contains about 10000 events just fine.

  The problem is that I read the complete paper in a remote program and this product CPU usage charge too much CPU to the monitored computer.  I do not read the newspaper of the events one by one, but I'm using WQL queries but I do some GetObjects and the peformance is really terrible.

  Any idea what to change or search?

• Svchost.exe causing 100% cpu usage during the update of windows, even when disconnected.

  I recently had to re - install windows xp on a new hard drive for replacement. My version of xp home edition, SP2 OEM installation disc. (This is ith group included IE6)

  Once installed and running, could access windows update.

  Read all the threads associated etc. and installed SP3, disc after downloading microsoft on another pc. Installed after three trys, first two caused various mistakes, but third attempt seems OK!

  I've also updated the IE6 to IE8, as some sites obviously did not work properly with the older browser.

  Now go do the automatic updates, or log for manual updates... BUT!

  During the process, my cpu fan comes on fast and permanently! The CPU usage is showing that 100%, pc slows to crawl, the mouse becomes slow etc.

  This has never happened before on this machine before you reinstall clean, he had already automatically updated to SP3 and went very well, it was some time ago, before the failure of hard drive, and it has never had this problem!

  Only since having to do a cleaning manual update and re - install.

  The culprit seems to be svchost.exe, once it is used by the update, running the cpu at 100% and continues to do so EVEN after stopping the service, until I manually stop with the Task Manager!

  The svchost.exe instance showing a high is use: SYSTEM.

  According to the files of help here, it is a known issue and a fix KB927891 was issued for SP2, but this should NOT be necessary for SP3, and in fact difficulty used to perform anyway under SP3!

  Ideas for a guy to fix?

  I appreciate the support for XP runs out quickly, and after this update of windows will be redundant, but in the meantime it is always useful!

  Also if I turn off the automatic updates, how can I stop this annoying popup warning bubble?... I can't live without updating, but this bubble nag drives you nuts! :)

  OK just a update, now running cool and 100% auto update and manual update... How? I hear you ask...

  Well I had a beer and a reflection and came to the conclusion, it must be 'order' in which I updated the clean installation of XP.

  Origin, I loaded the old OEM disc new hard disk, loaded the drivers etc, then stop at windows update for updated files.

  Who told me my old incompatible browser and suggested an upgrade.

  I downloaded and installed IE8... still no joy, reading the forums comments I downloaded and installed SP3... which SEEMED to work, BUT then all the hassle of cpu to 100% with the automatic update and updated manual on the windows don't update site!

  So I just gritted my teeth, formatted the drive, another OEM of XP Home Edition SP2 installation loaded the drivers, installed a copy saved to SP3 and after restarting, THEN installed a saved copy of IE8 and THEN trotted off the coast to the windows update site... low and behold, it the connection without problem, did a search, and required updates appeared on the screen without delay all 123 of them...! :)

  Did the updates, restarted and everything was fine, updates automatic in market and left the machine, after about 30 minutes appears the yellow shield, and it downloads a couple more update files without problem.

  All this time I followed the via the Task Manager CPU usage and the strange spike waited 100% apartment, it was on average from 5 to 20%!...so a great improvement has this effect, by simply changing the order of the updates installed from the original! SP3 IE before IE8.

  May not work for all have to do a clean install because of the HD failed, but its worked for me, and I am once more a "happy bunny!

  Dave was soon.
