CPU usage constantly runs at 15% and sometimes inexplicably blocks version 23.0

While Firefox is idle, my external case fans decide they need to increase the speed. When you open the Task Manager, I found that Firefox is constantly using 15% of my CPU.

On a side note that may be related, Firefox crashes sometimes without any warning. I can't tell what the causes are.

OK great, thanks for reporting!

  • My firefox keeps freezing of the browser and when I check my CPU usage it runs to more than 200,000. It takes all of my CPU just to run it.

    OK, first let me start by saying I love Firefox, and it's the first sentence I had with her.

    I can browse the internet anywhere on any site, and it will freeze saying (not answer). When it does I can't do anything in the browser or close the browser. It blocks like this every 10 to 15 minutes and remains frozen for anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes.

    I tried to disable all addons and update Firefox, adobe reader and java. When I opened my task manager when frozen, Firefox is running at 200 000 + K and the container plugin 150 000 + K I have preformed all possible control system, ran scans with my antivirus and all, the problem is not with my computer or memory, it's firefox. How can I fix? Should I uninstall Firefox?

    Try a new Firefox profile.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows

    Uninstall and re - install Firefox rarely solves anything, unless you do a new installation. A new profile is like 90% of the way to a new facility.

  • My laptop is often spiking to 100% CPU usage and always > 10%, with a physical memory to 25% + even though I have no programs running

    Recently, I reformatted the drive, reinstalled Windows and have no personal data on this subject. The only application there is office, which I am not, using McAffee and my browser:-I use it mainly for web browsing.

    It seems to happen mostly when I was using the browser, then left the machine for a few hours, then come back and tried to use it again. I turned off the screen saver and specify power options to keep permannently because she seems to be that the question was restartinjg rest. When the CPU usage is at its peak, and I try to return to the browser (or whatever it is) it may take some minutes to answer - just to load the Control Panel, for example.

    I can see from the Manager tasks, which is currently running, but ideas on how to identify the process that all take this resource, I can stop safely and therefore to save resources?

    Processes are:-

    CSRSS
    DWM
    Explorer
    mcagent
    MSASCui
    rundl32
    Sidebar
    taskeng
    Taskmgr
    Winlogon

    Also a lot of services - too many to list!

    All the processes you list, apart from mcagent, which is McAfee, are essential components of Windows. If you finish one of them outside the sidebar of your computer stops working to a greater or lesser degree. You could try gadgets on sidebar of closing in case one of them is wrong to behave.

    Another thing that can cause the CPU to boost with no application running is Windows Update and probably analysis and updates from McAfee.

    Don't you have the CPU column shows in the Task Manager, so that you can see which process is using most of the CPU? What processor is it? What is a heart?

    A better tool than the Manager of the tasks for these circumstances is Process Explorer.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    Process Explorer is a chart of the CPU where you can put the mouse on a cob and it will tell you what process is using most of the CPU.

    There is an introduction to Process Explorer here.

    As for the memory of 25%, 25% of what? Computer laptop 2 GB I write this on shows 42% of physical memory used with any running application. It's Windows. It's big enough.

  • Why my always 100% CPU usage and what is RegSvcs.exe uses 50% of it?

    Hi people,

    I think I need urgent help though.

    Recently, I thought I downloaded malware that is injected with the Trojan horse. And now, I believe that the Trojan horse lies in my computer. I did this because my CPU usage is always at 100% even when I just restarted my com. Initially, I found there was a program called dgen.exe running in my computer to a 60% of CPU usage. Never so, I remove the dgen.exe from my computer but I don't know if I remove it entirely. Now, I'll have another program called RegSvcs.exe in my computer operating at 50 percent CPU usage. I googled out and it says it may or may not be required by windows and it could be a trojan virus as well. That's why there at - it anyone who can enlighten me on this?

    I have to delete or to update or something?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards.

    By far, this is related to the Malwarebytes with steam being far behind.  Your Cpu & your HD and combination of slow down the computer.

  • Fort Portege M800 - always at 50% CPU usage or more

    Hello

    my laptop M800 is still running with the fan at full speed, the CPU usage is running between 50% to 100% even when no programs are running, this normal?, seems the computer seems never to go to a mode of rest or inactivity.

    I hope someone can help

    see you soon

    Hello

    Do you use your Portege with factory settings?

    What you need to do is to stop all unnecessary processes running in the background. This will reduce the CPU usage.
    By the way: change the parameters of cooling method.
    You can find it in the plan advanced power settings > Toshiba Power saver > cooling method. Change it to optimized battery.
    It will reduce the cooling fan activity and cell phone will last a lot quieter.

    Test it please and post comments.

    Hey Malki,

    He run a background process and they need the CPU usage that of normal. Antivirus is running in the background like other tools as well. As far as I know after the installation of recovery the defragmentation tool runs also in the background.

    Interesting to know is what problem you have. I mean usually the CPU usage is not important if you can do everything and computer works correctly.

  • Excessive CPU usage during online streaming

    Hello!

    First of all, let me tell you how great it is to have a support forum for my new laptop.

    I have a couple of things that maybe someone knows a lot more than myself will not be able to help me with (I hope)

    The first thing is (and the title of this thread):

    CPU use excessive multimedia Youtube streaming while.

    During playback of a standard video stream of You Tube, the processor in the Task Manager is erratic to say the least. The indicator CPU usage jumps upwards to 85%, and during playback, causing the stream to "stutter".

    I use the latest versions of FireFox (17.0.1) and Adode Flash plug in (11.05 r502) even though I know You Tube will flow its media using HTML5, without the need for the Shockwave plugin.

    The second thing is:

    Slow system

    I haven't used this laptop since I bought it new in July 2012. I recently needed to use and found that the entire system is extremely slow.

    I haven't used internet on this computer until today. The software I used is media production tools. However, open the Control Panel, start remote system, using Windows Explorer, any task seems incredibly slow.

    The third thing is:

    Start of this laptop seems to use about 1.2 GB of Washington.

    If someone has any advice they could give me it would be much appreciated.

    Cheers, Dave

    Nice that you share your experience with your laptop, but I will say a:
    You take on the laptop but no one knows what model of laptop you have exactly.

    > CPU usage excessive while Youtube multimedia streaming.
    > During playback of a video stream standard You tube, the processor in the Task Manager is erratic to say the least. The indicator CPU usage jumps upwards to 85%, and during playback, causing the stream to "stutter".

    This happens because of the Forefox or the plug-in for the Forefox.
    Maybe you should try another internet browser

    Do you think that this value is false, or maybe the operating system uses for a lot of RAM?

  • How to find reported by QueryPerf such cpu usage meter.

    Hello world

    I am writing a script which collects data of performance, in particular cpu usage percentage, of various hosts and virtual.

    I retrieve the data using QueryPerf, in the same way that the viperformance.pl script made.

    Recently, I noticed that the values for the cpu usage percentage are too big for a percentage IE. greater than 100.

    At first, I thought that I have a bug in my script but then I noticed that the viperformance.pl script returns the same values.

    I run the script viperformace.pl like this:

    ./viperformance.pl--serveur xxx.xx.xx.x:xxx - username xxxxxx - password "xxxxxxxxxx" - host xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxx.xx - countertype cpu - 1 samples

    Performance data: xxxx.xxxxx.xxxxxx.xx

    Counter: CPU utilization (average)

    Instance:

    Description: During the interval collected percentage CPU usage

    Units: %

    Example of information: 20, 2009-05 - 22 T 08: 27:20Z

    Value: 538

    Counter: Use of the processor in MHz (average)

    Instance:

    Description: CPU in MHz on the meantime collected. For guests that may be represented on a basis by the VM stacked graph

    Units: MHz

    Example of information: 20, 2009-05 - 22 T 08: 27:20Z

    Value: 1004

    Can someone explain what is the value of average 538? What I have to deal with the result of getting a real percentage?

    Thank you very much

    Jan

    Hi Jan,

    The value of the cpu usage meter can be between 0 and 10000. This value is 1/100th of one to one hundred, so 1 = 0.01%.

    So, in your case the CPU usage is actually 5,38-10.04% respectively.

    Please refer to the documentation counter for more details.

  • Satellite A300-1IE - CPU usage high with Bluetooth active

    Hello!

    I recently installed Windows 7 and the Toshiba Software Installer on my Satellite A300-1IE.

    I have a problem with the bluetoothmanager, it's more than double the CPU usage when turned on. When I close the CPU usage goes down.
    This is not normal?

    When the BT active CPU usage is 9 to 15% and when not 1-3%

    Seems to be high. Try an update of the Bluetooth stack.

  • DAQmx read results 2 ms/s in high CPU usage

    I have an application that reads the 32 channels of 2 ms/s analog input signals, at the same time. The actual hardware will be: SMU-8135 Win7, chassis SMU-1071, 2 x SMU-6368 (16 channels). The SMU-two 6368 will provide 32 channels data acquisition.

    I don't have the material at the moment, but I've been estimate the processor on the alternative configurations needs, because I have concerns about the use of the CPU to data acquisition high speed. Two alternative configurations are:

    (1) SMU-8133 (quad core) WinXP, SMU-1062 q, PXI-6133.

    (2) PXI-8106 (dual-core) WinXP, PXI-6133, PXI-1042.

    Note: PXI-6133 supports high speed HAVE 2 ms/s, at the same time.

    I wrote a simple continuous data acquisition software to allow me to compare the CPU usage. The sample rate and the number of channels are configurable. What I found is:

    (1) at low sampling frequency, for example 100 kech. / s, the CPU usage is minimal on both configurations (bicoeur or image), regardless of the number of channels is 1 or 8. The reading of the CPU was about 1-4%

    (2) at high sampling frequency, for example 2 ms/s, what is the number of channels used, either 1 or 8, the CPU utilization was 50% for dual core and 25% for the quad core, IE. a full core has been fully utilized.

    (3) the passage of the low use of the processor (<5%) to="" high="" cpu="" usage="" (="">45%) increases when the sampling rate is rather steep and shows interesting channel-dependence (note the following has been achieved with a PXI-8106 controller, dual-core).

    • @1 channel, it happened between 950 to 970 k
    • @2 channels, it happened between 470 to 480 k
    • @4 channels, it happened between 230 to 240 k,.
    • @8 channels, it happened between 120 to 130 k.

    This model reminds me of buffer length related question but I double checked a sufficient length of the buffer was used. He suggested also, surprising a few traffic jams occurred when the amount of data increases up to certain level.

    My question is, is this a problem with this particular card (PXI-6133) or driver DAQmx (9.5.5f4). How the problem is when I'm doing an acquisition of 32 channels?

    For your information, I have attached the benchmarking software.

    Thank you!

    Donghui Yin

    I followed this example code (see link below) and used based on events DAQmx, now the excessive CPU utilization problem has been resolved. Playback from the CPU is now less than 10 percent, while it could be 50% (in the case of dual-core) or 25% (case of hearts) at the same sample rate and number of channels.

It seems to cause some 'loop' or conflict in the HP software. It of a simple solution, drove me crazy for weeks. But I copy from the use of the processor 100% by another (stupid) attempt to manually manage the power settings. Hope this helps some of you.
