My CPU usuage is going 100%

OK, I recently problems with m.

Before my PC used to run smooth, I used to run more than 3-4 programs at the same time. But recently my PC is really slow. Whenever I m using Skype (voice chat) my CPU usage is at 100%, I used to play online and talk on Skype together now is not possible at all. Also, as when I use internet and listen to music my CPU usage is about 70%, which is high! Same thing happens when I watch videos HD, the videos of lag. This happens on youtube, as I can only watch videos of 240 p smoothly. Others do not work smoothly. Usually, when I m not running too many programs my PC is smooth. Also games, games, I used to play before went smoothly today then do not work much more.

I did my utmost to correct this cleaned up my hard drive, remove all unwanted programs, even cleaned up the dust inside my CPU. And no I do not use anti-virus programs but I hvnt noticed any viruses, just to b problem I installed an and analysed as well but he did not find any virus and yes the anti-virus is up to date, it was the AVG anti-virus don't know how good it is. Also on the internet, I found abt this contraption "msconfig" and a little confused when I run tht so did nothing yet.

Well, I hope that I have explained the problem well, usually when I do not have anything in the CPU usage is fine as now since I m typing use atm CPU is normal. Hope someone can help me find a solution. :)

It is prudent to perform at least an analysis of filling with something like Malwarebytes and Superantispyware to make an effort to remove common malware and only when they perform own start to look for other things.

Assuming you have done this, we learn more about your system (since we don't know anything about).

As you describe the problem is visible when you CPU and video intensive things such as watching videos, games online, Skype, we will need to know your video subsystem too.

Since you seem to be able to recreate the problem, if you make an adjustment and your test condition begins to behave, you will know that you are looking in the right places.

First of all, you have work to do...

Provide information on your system, the better you can:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

What is your Internet browser and version?

Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

Now provide some gory details more:

Click Start, run and enter in the box:

Msinfo32

Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

If you have IDE disks, they can back a sort of DMA mode to PIO mode slow, so you must check that too. Here's how:

If you are using IDE drives, use Device Manager to make sure the transfer mode for the IDE channels to something as DMA if available (depends on your hardware) and the slow PIO mode.

Don't forget: PIO is slower transfer mode, DMA is the fastest transfer mode.

It is easy to check and usually easy to fix and the mode would not have changed in itself, so if she changed to PIO, change it to DMA, and then understand why it changed and fix it.

To launch the Device Manager console, click Start, run and enter in the box:

devmgmt.msc

Click OK.

Expand the section controller IDE / ATA to see your IDE channels. Right-click on each channel and select properties for each channel that has a tab advanced settings, determine the Transfer Mode. There are usually 4 channels to check in a desktop computer, maybe less for laptops.

The faster the Transfer Mode selection will be a kind of selection DMA (usually: DMA DMA5, UDMA, etc.). If it is PIO, change it to DMA. Be sure to click on OK to save the settings.

If you are unsure of what you see, after return what you see for help and advice.

If you make adjustments, reboot and go back and check the settings again to make sure that any changes you did stick.

Finally, instead of guess what you might have to startup items and what you might be able to do without, it's easy for you to simply provide a list of your startup items and then get a few recommendations of things that you can do without that, to do this:

Download CCleaner here:
http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning. Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now. I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible!

You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.

With CCleaner, you can disable the startup items, reboot to see what things look like and if you want - completely remove unnecessary or just startup items leave the disabled while you continue troubleshooting.

Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text - something like startup.txt file

Save the boot information text file on your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad), select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list to come back here in your next reply and maybe someone can tell you other things to consider.

Finally and most importantly, you must be sure that your provider of Internet Service (ISP) provides the Internet download speed you pay for what you can test it by visiting this site:

www.Speedtest.NET

Wait that it load and click on begin Test.

When it finishes, you will know that your download speed and your download speed so tell us what they are:

Download speed: _
Download speed: _

If you pay 10 Mbps and you get only 2, while you pay more than you are getting (you are getting ripped off), so you scream at your ISP and request that they help you fix it if you get what you pay for.

When I activate "Task Manager", my CPU usage climbs to 100% & an application called iexplore.exe uses 99% of CPU time. This slows down my computer. I can turn it off without causing other problems?

Attempt to disable Load System Services through the system without result Configuration utility, because cpu cannot handle this function before of 'Services' system of pigs. Is there a way to access msconfig. through BACK? Have tried all modes safe mode, same problem.

I would exercise caution in handling things in the System Configuration utility. If you disable the thing (s) evil, you could make your problem worse.

I suggest provide you a little more information on your system, run some scans for malware, then fix what's left more that needs fixing.

If you see services.exe equips in the Task Manager, suspect malware first, work to eliminate this possibility (with the scans below), then if you still have a problem, we can fix.

It makes no sense to try to solve problems on a system that could have malicious software on it.

You can also try to run system restore if you want, but I don't really know, it counts as 'fixing' of the problem.

Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time. It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

Please provide additional information on your system:

No matter what you use for malware protection, perform the following analyses for malware.
then fix any problems:

CPU usuage

Greetings,

Recently, I reformatted my hard drive, reloaded all my files, folders and programs, just as I had them before. Computer was working fine until I noticed that my wireless mouse would stop working. Shortly after I started to experience a very slow reaction to programs and internet connections. I open msconfig and found that all processes are running. Most of them got off and I restarted. After windows, shut down the computer only has not extinguished as usual, I had to maunally turn off with the switch. After the reboot, everything seemed fine until Setup has stopped working again. That's when I noticed that the CPU usage went from 100% the system to 100% system idle process. All my start up programs are if I put them. I had Norton antivirus scan, an and a Lavasoft Adware scan with nothing more than a few found cookies. Help, please...

Start with the selective startup. I would allow all the toolbars. I start with the bare minimum and add one thing at a time until you find the program or the offending application.

CPU goes 100 after streaming video

I had this problem for about 2 months,

My computer loads slowly, but then pretty much works ok

However, the main problem is when I watch videos online (streaming) videos, I'd be ok if I do not open the secondary videos.

but then again after watching the 10-15 minute video, CPU is going to really high and reached 100, so I have to close all

and after a while I can watch the video again, because the CPU goes back to about 0 after 5 minutes to all tasks.

Same word would get a high rating of CPU when this happens, usage audiodg.exe WmiPrvSE.exe unsecapp.exe take exceptionally high CPU

and they are especially difficult to treat because it is the main reason that I have to wait so long. Services like winword, explorer.exe and all sorts of basic tools would also get high ratings of CPU after this video streaming for a while. This does not happen when I open the tabs and browse the internet.

I tried to many antimalware, antivirus, antispyware, and all sorts of performance pieces, same windows repair tweaking.com all-in-one doesn't do much.

My guess is that I messed up with the services, but I reset and I do not know what else to do.

Also, I can I have removed some things with HijackThis I shouldn't, but it was after that this problem occurred.

Other questions I should mention are: computer flashes 2 or 3 times before opening, startup is particularly slow (I have avast as a start), and generally programs loading takes longer than normal, so that several times (don't know why), it loads quite fast.

Temperatures: THRM Max: 72 (161)

CPU core 0 Max: 76 (168)
Processor core 2 maximum: 74 (165)
Assembly Max: 38 (100)
Max air flow: 38 (100)

Please, if you have an idea in words to make my computer more stable and reliable, let me know.

Hello

Please check the the Task Manager, on the processes tab, col CPU to see who did it, then post back.

Kind regards.

My CPU usage is at 100%, but the task manager says that nothing is more than using 01%

Last night, I installed the updates for Windows 7 during the stop, as I normally do. He said there are four updates, and one went by pretty quickly. It seemed to get stuck on the second (even though he probably didn't want to - the blue ORB turned and the dots are moving, so I guess it's to large or slow) for a few minutes, three update took slightly less time and at the time he obtained for the release of four, I was paying attention just because I was so tired.

In any case, I went to start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) and on black splash screen "starting windows" with the flag/banner, he said that he needed install/configure 360 some odd updates. I had seen this before, although I do not remember how recently, so I thought nothing of it. I still don't know if it meant something significant.

Now the problem is that my CPU usage is constantly at 100%, yet when I finally managed to open the Task Manager, NONE of the listed processes use anything more than 1%, and those who fluctuate. I can easily boot into safe mode, and from there, I have disabled the start of the process, such as taskbar support and itunes things google related, but I still boot normally to 100%.

Any ideas? It would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm going to College next year and I really don't want to worry about finding how to get a new machine.

Thank you!

Hi Renae92,
1. You have security software installed on the computer?
2. High CPU usage occurs after the boot process?
Method 1

As the problem does not persist in safe mode, then 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.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 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 section to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest you run the troubleshooter of performance and check if it helps.

Qosmio G20: CPU get up to 100% and the program does not respond

My computer is very often og to 100% of the CPU... And that's without any havy program... I also just formatert and reinnstall computer
The result is often that the computer is frizing/program isn't slow answer/work... And I need to restart... I really hope there is a solution to this problem... I like my Qosmio G20.

Hello

I recommend you to check the task manager during the ruin of CPU to 100%.
Here, you can see the processes tab.
You can try to find out what process needs the full CPU performance.
Sometimes similar issues are caused by several applications of spyware and viruses. You should check this possibility.

the CPU activity increased to 100% so easy... Satellite 1800 - 752S

I have the Satellite 1800 - 752S with 40GB HD, 384 MB of RAM.
Processor: X 86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 10.

Problem: when I try to read a music with Winamp file or a video file with windows media player, the CPU activity is 100% if easy and computer becomes very slow. Audio does not play fluent and the video does not appear correctly.
Also when I try to watch a movie with a DivX Player DivX.

I tried with several antivirus, registry cleaners, spyware programs and anti-adaware to clean your PC of possible viruses, Trojans, worms, etc., but after cleaning I still get the same problem.

What do you recommend I do?

Thank you very much.

Hello

What operating system do you use? It is the original installation Toshiba or did you build this platform of operating system by yourself?
On some models of 1800 there is no XP driver for the videochip. In case you have one of these models and you are using Windows XP, it is possible that the performance is bad when you play everything.

Modbus IO server causes cRIO CPU to go to 100%

I have 2 e / s Modbus server set up on my cRIO-9022 system. I use Modbus ethernet to communicate. Each server is intended for a different IP address for the Modbus device to what he's talking about. Modbus devices are configured with these IP addresses.

In normal operation, the CPU of the cRIO is about 10% use. However, I am trying to build in the correction of the mistakes of my VI. The question I have, is that when one of the modbus devices is dissconnected, the CPU usage gets locked at 100%. I guess that's because the IO server is trying to reestablish the connection and failing.

What would be the why of the handeling this case to prevent hanging on 100% CPU?

This is unexpected behavior that appears also when any other server I/O trying to settle the slave as well and I filed a request for Corrective Action with R & D to help resolve the issue in a future version of LabVIEW. A potential solution for those who have the DSC module is programmatically toggle the server I/O with the engine control features available in the palette of DSC.

CPU fan runs at 100%

Ffan CPU runs at 100%, have installed upgrading Bios according to the support site. Any ideas?

MartinEA73, welcome to the forum.

I suggest clearing the CMOS (prn. see moss). The CMOS is a chip that stores the BIOS settings. If for some reason, it has not been last updated with the BIOS, it might be causing your problem.

Because I don't have the model of the computer, I can't provide you with instructions. Here is a page that will allow you to find them. Type your model in the space provided. Then, when the page opens go to the page of the plug to motherboard. To the bottom of this page, you will find the instructions.
