My core duo CPU is always maxed out! Why? I ran scans and they come back clean...

Hello!  My core duo CPU seems to work continuously maxed out.  This is a recent development and I thought can I have incurred a virus or malware but I ran Viper, Microsoft Essentials, and they come to own.  It always seems to me that something is causing my cpu run continually maxing out and it has severely slowed down my computer performance.  When I check nothing irregular seems to be the Task Manager.  Any suggestion? Thank you!

If you go to the Task Manager, have you checked under process? You can click on the CPU column header to sort from the top down. This should help you to begin to identify which takes up your box.

I hope this helps.

  • Core i5 CPU detected as 2 hearts, why

    It's the CPU

    Intel (r) Core i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40 GHz

    I use Windows 7 for the installation of environmental and final deployment will be the i7 or i9 server. Why is not able to cover all VMware processors? or does it support any. Maybe I understand this wrong in how VMWare is supposed to work. I've only used the GSX (version 1), before long.

    I did an installation of VMWare 2 on Xeon Quad Core at the office and I don't remember how many carrots he detected. In production, I would it cover all central units and take full advantage of them. Share please if someone knows how do VMware works properly on Intel I series processors

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This CPU is not supported by vmware server 2. So your question is normal.

    You can see page 24 of the vmware server user guide:

    http://www.VMware.com/support/pubs/server_pubs.html

    and you will see that your cpu is not in the list of supported CPUs.

    I recommend you to use a product of vmware with a better cpu as workstation 7.1, vmplayer 3.1 support or maybe esxi hypervisor.

    Best wishes / Saludos.

What about a network card and the part of the BIOS? Help!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

    Try restarting your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    If the problem does not persist, I you suggest to restart the computer to return to normal boot and then run Autoruns by downloading it from the following link:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    Once Autoruns runs in the computer, it will show the use of the processor by the exact process names. I suggest you to respond with the names of your higher CPU processes.

    If the situation is the same in safe mode, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer and try to run hardware diagnostics on the computer.

    Thank you.

  • HP & AMD AM2socket 64 X 2 5200 core duo cpu VS 64 X 2 5600 processor chipset

    My beloved Hp overheating once too often, (my bad for not to clean more often), and I have found none of the cpu even chips anywhere so I looked around and found HP had a list of tokens that fit the AM2 socket on my motherboard. The new chip (hope I'm not being folded here) is a 5600 + in a AMD processor and if something I hope that it will be a little faster. I was wondering if the new chip causes problems as the old 5200 64 X 2 duo core worked fine for 7 years. The HP help page has stated that he take a chip up to 95 watts and one I found is 65. What should I be aware of? Thanks in advance for any help. I am on a limited budget but take the computer to computer Canada to have the installed processor and set the heat sink. See you soon

    We could be really to know what kind of computer you're talking about here. I can say that this is an office that I think. If the 5600 + is on the list in the manual yes has 5600 + is faster than a 5200 + and a 65w processor should work on a Board that can handle up to 95w. An upgrade of the desktop PC processor is actually a pretty easy thing to do yourself.

  • 20.0 download, well, this is awkward (windows and tabs) comes back every time. I tried the reset didn't work out. What now?

    "" Since download 20.0, whenever Firefox opens with "well, this is awkward" (with bad healings windows and tabs) then lists windows and tabs for each site, I've been on. I choose a - blow restoration - and then I open my home page. I went to the Support and tried the Reset, retstarted and open Firefox, but the same window appeared again. This time, Windows and Mozilla support were on the list. What can I do next? I have no idea how to solve this problem. I have a MacBook Pro.

    Hello, this is currently an issue in firefox when you close all firefox windows open first and then close the application subsequently - the bug should be addressed in a more recent version of firefox.

    a workaround in the meantime, you could close firefox (via firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter: config in the firefox address bar (confirm the message information where it appears) & search preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  • Qosmio G30-163: Core Duo T2500 Core 2 Duo T2500 processor upgrade?

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 which has 2.0 GHz Core duo. That I wonder if it is possible to change this processor to processor core 2 duo at the same speed or maybe a lil faster since the duo core 2 CPU produced less heat than core duo, I've heard...

    Is guaranteed get trashed if I pay an official toshiba service bureau to replace the cpu?
    Why I want to change the processor is think about running 64 bit OS that is not supported by core duo cpu, core 2 duo CPU does support 64-bit...

    Hello

    Of course, everything is theoretically possible ;) but practice isn't very easy.
    To my knowledge, Toshiba doesn't support any replacement of CPU and upgrades and so I don t think you will get a new BIOS specially for this laptop.

    The F30 seems to be a new laptop. Therefore, you must know that you will lose your warranty if you open the notebook and remove the CPU!
    In my view, it is not worth

  • Does Vista support Core Duo on Satellite A100

    Recently I bought laptop Satellite A100-784 with Core Duo CPU and pre-installed Vista Home Basic and I have a question about.

    Among all the tables of comparison of the different versions of Vista that I found on the Internet, it has been said that Vista Home Basic Edition does not support the technology of modern processor dual-core. I would like to know the Vista that was preinstalled on my laptop Core Duo, if it a slightly modified version of Vista Home Basic with the CPU support double core or is it just a Vista Home Basic standard that doesn't support CPU Core Duo in its entirety?

    Why I ask:
    (1) I see no sence to change Windows XP that came before with Satellite A100 laptop series and who supported the technology double heart with operating system that may not cover all previous Windows features.

    (2) in comparison tables, it was also said Vista Home Basic is not compatible WiFi well in windows, I got with my computer laptop WiFi was preinstalled with a complete coverage of the operating system that makes me thihk that the preinstalled Vista is a bit modyfied in support of all possible features of this exact notebook.

    Someone could he clear to me?

    Thank you in advance.

    Please show me this comparison table, cant believe it :) Vista Home Basic supports processors Dual-Core as well as WiFi, what a question!

    Maybe learn you about multiple CPU systems. This could be. But two cores in one processor is not a problem!

  • CPU maxed out in Windows 7 - always above 90%

    I'm trying to understand why my CPU maxed out as always - I downloaded process Explorer after a lot of research and found that the three principals 'system', "taskhost.exe" and "svchost.exe". I don't think I have a virus I did serveral tests. I booted in safe mode and found that the processor is running normally, however, I can not manually start the rest of the applications normally used by my computer...

    Thanks for the reply - I've traced the problem down to Firefox if you can believe it--after many years he became corrupt right - I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and the systemhost.exe fell to 3-4%.

  • MacBook Pro (15 inch, end 2013) with MacOS Sierra 10.12: kernel_task maxing out CPU with external display

    I have a maxed out end 2013 the MacBook Pro Core i7 to 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

    Also, I have a DELL P2415Q Display 24 inches (3840 x 2160) using Thunderbolt, are involved through the headphone jack and use a USB for lightning to recharge my iPhone.

    I upgraded to macOS Sierra the day he is released and had no problems until this morning. I unplugged my external screen and speakers and used my laptop for about 15 minutes, the battery, and then returned to my office and plugged my Thunderbolt, rear speakers display in and my CPU shot at 100% and never came back down. My Mac is essentially useless because kernel_task is eating all my CPU and to prevent another asks to enter the CPU.

    I have since audited equipment - everything was fine, reset the NVRAM and I tried to erase IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext .plist files but I couldn't on my Mac (trying to follow this guide, started in Safe Mode and everything then went to try and find the file and my Mac just does not have it). When my external screen is plugged if I'm doing anything CPU intensive (videophone, opening of Chrome, etc.) then my kernel_task gets mad again, and the only way to move is to unplug my screen. Connect my iPhone to charge the tips also my kernel_task as well. I followed my internal temperatures, and nothing was out of the ordinary, to cold currently at about 140 °.

    At this point, it seems that any time that puts something on the charging system and increase the temperature internal internal components of my Mac kernel_task maxes my CPU, which brings my Mac to its knees.

    Any ideas how to fix? Is this just a major bug in 10.12?

  • The Core 2 Duo CPU runs on the Qosmio G30?

    Question is as follows:
    In 2 months, Intel will come with Core 2 Duo/merom cpu for laptop.
    Then PC laptop toshiba qosmio todays will support these processors for an upgrade?
    And I wonder generally how much can be improved with a toshiba laptop?
    As if I want to have the e-sata on this laptop. Maybe not supported by the chipset?

    Hello

    AFAIK the Qosmio G30 were delivered for example with Intel Core Duo Yonah processor T2400 1.83 GHz.
    But according to mu, it is not possible to upgrade laptops with the other processors.
    One of the reasons could be an overheating problem.
    Processors more produce more heat and therefore the temperature rises of critical level. In this case the unit will stop automatically.
