• Explorer.exe uses too much CPU

  My explorer.exe uses too much CPU (almost 100%). Then an error message appears-

  Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

  This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.

  For more information, contact the application support team.
  If I click on OK, or simply close the dialog box explorer.exe ends and restarts. After awhile, it starts to use full CPU again, and the same dialog box appears again. I have installed new software and tried almost every other way, this forum as restart explorer.exe etc...

• Svchost is using too much memory and causes other problems

  I have a strange problem. I always have a remarkable svchost process that uses a lot of memory. It doesn't bother me, if I am just browsing the web, but when I run a program so it does make a difference. Now, here's where the problems start. Sometimes I can't start even some programs while this process is running. Programs would freeze everything trying to launch and they will stay like that until I kill the svchost that takes up my memory. After I kill the process the program I already started will be complete loading, but the process killed will come back and start hogging my memory still. It seems to interfere with many things. I reinstalled windows, thinking that it was caused by a windows update, but even without updates, it is still at work.

  Let me know what information should I provide for you to help me solve this problem and I'm open to sharing.

  I have it down to a signle service.

  Multimedia class Scheduler

  It uses more and more memory until I permanently terminate the svchost run slot, then it starts again. I went the service manual and it always starts by itself.

  Hi CIVC.

  I've seen other threads with this same type of problem that it was caused by a virus/malware.  I might suggest to run a full scan with your anti-virus/anti-malware software and see if you find something.  If necessary you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner:

• My Safari is using too much memory

  I use Safari 9.1.1 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5)...) Last week, Safari uses too much memory causing my computer to slow down and own memory has automatically free up space.  I use the same sites in multiple windows.  But it will bring my RAM available to a dangerous level of 2 MB...

  Memory will make things worse. The amount of RAM is installed?

• AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

  AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

  Hi cmich80220.
  It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:

  [Firefox is slow]]

  Hope that helps.

• Svchost.exe using too much cpu!

  I have a Windows 2003 Media operating system, svchost.exe occupies almost all my cpu.  I tried to download the update, but I already have service pack 3.  Not sure why this problem arises now because it seems to be a problem that Microsoft fixed in 2007.  Help, please! I read that there is an agent 3 or something like that which solves the problem. What happens if anything do I need to download.  I will also try to see if the problem pops up in safe mode.  I'll look to see where the svchost is still running.

  Download and run the "Process Monitor" freeware.  It's a task manager on steroids.  Find the svchost that uses all CPUS and place your cursor over the name of "svchose.exe".  A pop-up window displays all the services covered by it.  Go to the Services (start-> Run-> 'services.msc') screen, check for these services, and by a stop or pause these services while monitoring your CPU usage.  You should find it pretty quickly.

• Svchost is taking too much memory, help please?

  My computer started lagging randomly the other day and I checked the Task Manager processes and saw svchost was using almost 600 k of memory and about 40% of the CPU. I right click the svchost and went to services and seen it as things netsvcs the svchost related.

  I didn't know what to do and could not find a way to solve this problem, so I decided that I would just restore my computer with my CD of Windows 7 Ultimate. The reinstallation of Windows 7 (formatted my HD), it would allow me to make updates. I kept getting errors (8007001F I think is most often, I got) I searched and searched on the error I received, but could not find anything useful. So I ignored just updated. Now the svchost is take a lot of memory. Mind you, until I reinstalled Windows 7, my computer has been updated and the svchost was taking a lot of memory. Here are the screenshots.

  Also, I try to put an end to the process, but it results in a blue screen and restart sometimes.

  http://www.Tinypic.com/r/31488kg/6

  I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager, but it goes much further.

  For more information about Process Explorer, see here:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

  When you open the process Explorer, you need customize settings. This by checking the options on the view menu drop-down. Click Select columns, and then the process Image tab check all the boxes before description, Image, Image Type and command line path. I suggest that you click also on two other options in the drop-down display, namely show processes from all users and display fractions CPU.

  The extent to which you can customize is considerable. You can change the information displayed and this sometimes leads to confusion and frustration.

  Processes are listed in the left column. Some names appear to be duplicated. This isn't so. Svchost.exe is an apparent example of duplication. You generally listed something like 10 cases. If you right-click one and select properties and the Image tab you will find that the command line is different for each instance of svchost.exe. Each instance of svchost.exe is another group of services. You can see a list of these Services if you click on the Services tab.

• Update Windows using too much memory in Windows XP

  In the last week I came across many computers where windows update is slowing down the computer because it uses over 400MB of ram.  This seems to affect Windows XP.  In the Task Manager wuauclt.exe and svchost.exe are the two files involved.  When Windows Update is disabled, everything is back to normal.  If you try to update Windows via the Windows Update Web site, there is no answer.  Please tell us what to do.

• VI by using too much memory

  Hi all

  I am trying to write a code for pic Pic 2 dimensional on a large enough data file (about 1000 x 72000 points). The results of this should be integer values where each peak has been reduced to its maximum point for later statistical analysis (see attached code). The problem is when this code is executed, the VI quickly eat through all of the available memory and crashes. I'm under a system with 3 processors and 4 GB of ram, and the program has crashed every time after using approximately 3.5 GB, so I need to find a way to reduce the use of the memory of this VI. My VI and an example of data file is attached. Thank you.

  <><>

  First of all, read 1000x72000x8bytes = ~ 600 MB for one copy in memory is pushing it. Then you have additional copies in the two graphs.

  All your values seem to be small integers, so a U8 2D table would work just as well using 8 times less memory space.

  Then you send these massive arrays of two graphs of intensity. The number of pixels in your chart is a small part of the picture, so you will have to reduce the data to display. Graphical representation of the 72000 columns on a less than 1000 pixels wide screen is ridiculous.

• VMFusion 3.1.3 uses too much memory 'inactive' on my Mac

  Hi all

  I have a new Mac desktop (1 month) with 8GBs of memory. I installed VMware Fusion version 3.1.3 using Windows 7, but I noticed that

  If I start melting in the morning, in the evening, I left the 880MB of memory 'Free' approximatelt - most is made by Fusion or Windows 7 which memory is allocated in the "Inactive" Mac activity monitor - I do not how many, but one much more than say 3-4GB, discovering in mind when I did not merge performs is roughly 1 GB.

  Any help please!

  :-)

  Cheers all,.

  John

  It is a problem of Mac OS X.  OS X will convert inactive memory free memory when it's in an OOM condition, but not earlier.  Of course, there is a performance hit when this happens.  If you want to control when this conversion occurs, you need the "purge" the Developer Tools for Mac OS X unix command.  If you have already installed Xcode, typing in "purge" in the Terminal should erase this memory for you after appearing to hang your computer for a few seconds.

  In my view, that the problem is with memory mapped files.  Fusion is "dirty" files and OS X is save some wear disc and write delays do not write the file until it is necessary to do so (you stop the merger, or use the command purge).
