My pentium 4 processor running at 100%

My pentium 4 processor works 100% every 18 seconds for 10 seconds. This is due to a microsoft download svchost.exe 1388. I followed varies according to the lines of thought, but I'm unable to stop him. someone at - it help him?

Instead of using the Task Manager, freeware download "Process Explorer".
Process Explorer: <> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653 >
Run it and find the "svchost" which is causing your problem and place your cursor on "svchost.exe".  A context menu displays the services are running under this instance of svchost.  Start up of the Services (start-> Run-> "services.msc") window, then locate each item in the list for svchost and 'stop' or 'pause' each point until you find one that uses all the CPU.  The solution will depend on which one is causing the problem.

  • my pc CPU running at 100% for all the programs I opened / what is the problem and how to solve?

    my pc CPU fan runs very strongly & the processor running at 100% for all the programs I opened. DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A VIRUS IN THE PC WAS WORKING FINE A FEW DAYS AGO. How can I solve this issue?

    Hello

    You did changes to the computer before this problem?

    Step 1: Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:
    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

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

    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    Step 2: Also, look for error messages in the event viewer. If you find error messages after return the exact error message so that we can help you better.

    When we look at the performance tab of the the task manager of the CPU usage is running between 80 and 100% when it opens any program or and for the desktop to appear.

    I ran Super Anti Spyware and found 69 threats that have been deleted.

    I ran Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and it found 1 threat that has been deleted.

    I run ESET NOD32 Anti-virus and it was a clean analysis.

    I run the latest version of CCleaner and cleaned the registry and the tab Cleaner for the cleaning of temporary files, etc.

    I defraged the drive and also checked/fixed for disk errors.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do or check, fix anything that captures the CPU?

    What is your system brand and model?

    You may be able to get clues with what is happening by using the Task Manager and maybe understand.

    You will always figure out what happens if you use Process Explorer.

    Download Process Explorer, so you can see what is 'really' currently running on your system, especially behind these multiple svchosts see you in the Manager of tasks running.

    Download Process Explorer from here:

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

    You'll like Process Explorer when you get the hang of it.  Process Explorer is the Manager of Windows taskbar on steroids.

    Process Explorer installs nothing so it won't slow down your system since it works only on request.

    Process Explorer can seem a little intimidating at first because it has so much information, but you will begin to make love the way it works when you're looking for performance problems.   You can even say EP you want it to be your new default 'Task Manager' value in the future.  You can always run the original tasks as Manager.

    Once you get Process Explorer running, expand the columns, made drag the corners of the screen for it's largest, etc., so you can see as much information as possible in the window.  Now you can really see what is running on the system.

    Here's a screenshot of my system when I use Process Explorer:

    http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2567/ProcessExplorer.PNG

    The CPU column is usually the most interesting start with performance issues - which uses the most?

    It is OK and normal to have of multiple svchost processes running, but sometimes malware will hide behind them, as the malware knows that you will not be able to spot it in the Task Manager.

    Malicious software can disguise itself also seems to be a legitimate process of XP or he could hide under/behind other processes that you see running in Task Manager if you can't see the execution.

    The malware would trick you into thinking you must use a System Restore Point, run a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch when you really don't.

    Looking at the display in process Explorer, you want the CPU most to be associated with the system idle process.  It's 'free time' on your system, so more time there, more free.

    If you look at the graphs of performance and see red spikes (or not) double click the graphic in the upper left corner to display the graph to use.  Move the mouse over any pics to see what are the causes.  Even if the Spike has already scroll screen, you can still move the mouse over the edge to see what caused.  You can also just wait for a pic to happen and then see what caused the Spike.

    To help understand your process svchost and what is running under them, read this article and you will be smarter than the average bear:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/Forum56.html

    Then with a few Google searches, you can watch every thing in PE and behind your svchost processes running and see what it is and decide if your configuration needs it or not and then decide what to do about this.

    If you think you have a svchost.exe process amok, executed using PE, you can right-click that offensive svchost, properties and on the Services tab and son, you can see which runs under it.

    There is a CPU column it will expand (make the wider column) so that you can see CPU.  Maybe you can spot what background process is so CPU consumption under the svchost.exe process.   Stroll under the svchost process and you will find it.

    You can also see what is running under each svchost simply by pointing your mouse on the svchost.exe process.  Some of them have just a things working under them and some will have several things (I hope that all the legitimate XP services) and some will have a lot of things.

    If you have a svchost process that is afflicted, which runs under your afflicted?

    No running process must defy reasonable explanation.

    First, see what you can discover using Process Explorer and then if nothing is obvious, see other things.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Windows 7 is Compatible with Pentium 4 processor?

    I have a pc configured with 1 GB of Ram and Pentium 4 processor and 80 GB hard disk space with a DVD rom installed.

    I want to know if I can get Windows & in my PC

    It seems that your system meets the Windows 7 system requirements:

    If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it takes:

    • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or (x 64) 64-bit processor

    • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

    • 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

    • Graphical device DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

    In practice, you'll want to add more RAM to the system before the upgrade.

    In addition, you can check things out with the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  • Memory of the application running at 100%

    My problem is with the memory of the Application works 100% (see fig. 2).  It started yesterday so I decided to uninstall some of my old applications Photoshop (CS4, CS6, for example), hoping that would solve the problem, making sure that I do not uninstall Photoshop CC 2015.5 (latest version).  However, this has not fixed the problem, and to make things worse I am now unable to open Photoshop CC 2015.5 because it seems not to be there!

    A further review of the activity monitor (Fig. 2), I found two identical icons 'Installer' both taking / using more than 15 GB each memory resulting in memory of the application running at 100%.   I have no idea what these installers, but they could be linked to the fact that when I try to use the program adobe (Fig. 1) installation and after some time, the icon disappears and nothing happens and the statistics of the Application memory gradually increase (the installer icon) until the computer was delivered to a grinding stop.

    Therefore, in order to get the work PC should select 'Install' icons of the activity monitor and force them to completely.   The memory card, then returns to normal.

    Just to add to my problems, I cannot open Photoshop CC 2015.5 nor can I use the installer of cloud creative access to download photoshop CC.  I tried to load photoshop via time Machine, but I get "Error 1" see fig. 3.

    My PC is:

  • HP Pavilion 500-239. Processor running hot

    Hello. I recently bought a new HP Pavilion desktop pc 500-239. Unpacked Tuesday and used for only a few days. Immediately I noticed that the fan seems to be running pretty strong and fast, I downloaded a few temp monitors and I noticed that the processor runs at more than 90 degrees C at full load. Now, I know this is normal, especially for a new pc. The case is in a place where it becomes high flow. I even removed the side panel to let some air in, the same thing.

    The processor is an AMD A - 10 6800 k quad core. Now, I've read the fan stock on those who are a bunch of garbage and will have to level it as well to get new thermal paste, but I wanted to see if there was no explanation as to why it runs so hot out of the box. I can't imagine that HP would leave the pc leave the warehouse without checking that the first.

    Operating system is Windows 8.1 64bits

    It is a forum for helping hand in hand.  Most of us is not employees of HP.  I think that you have a specific problem that you should not have to help out on a new computer.  Please contact the HP customer care for help and let us know what they say.

  • 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.

  • SP4600 - processor operating at 100% and slow

    Hello

    I just reinstalled win xp sp2 on the satellite pro 4600 and he really works hard. When I check the Ctrl-alt-del menu, I see that the processor almost always run very high or to a full 100%.

    When I install win 98 is also slow and win2000 run is somewhat stable but with Wi - Fi nog.

    Is there a hardware problem with maybe the processor or a bug in the software? What can I do to fix this computer slow race which should normally work on win xp?

  • Question on change of processor satellite 1800-100

    Al first of all, Hello to everyone. I have a Satellite 1800-100 with a celeron 800 mhz CPU.
    I have from another DESKTOP PC, a PENTIUM III 700, and I want to improve my toshiba with this processor. I probed this celeron 800 mhz CPU during this work computer desk 1 year ago and it's because the processor of this Satellite is not a special mobile chip, with less power, etc.. It s a normal desktop CPU.

    But I want to install the 700 mhz PENTIUM III CPU inside the laptop, but...
    What I have to change the jumpers in the 1800-100 motherboard to install the 700 mhz pentium III or this motherboard is able to auto-detection of the processor type and automatically configure itself.

    Hello

    Usually CPU replacements on laptops are not compatible and it s still a very risky game. It can happens that laptop does not work properly or will not
    In any case, I discovered that the Satellite 1800 series supports a Pentium III or Celeron processor.

    This processor can be used:
    -Basic operation of processor Pentium III with a clock internally 750/800/850 MHz, 100 MHz bus, and 1.70V
    -Internal basic operation of processor Pentium III with a clock of 1000 MHz, 100 MHz bus and 1.75 v

    -Basic operation Celeron processor with a clock internal 800 MHz, 100 MHz bus and 1.70V
    -Basic operation Celeron processor with a clock internal to 700/733/766 MHz, 66 MHz bus and 1.70V

    > What I have to change the jumpers in the 1800-100 motherboard to install the 700 mhz pentium III or this motherboard's power auto detect CPU type and auto configure itself.
    To my knowledge, it should start automatically. You do not need to change anything.

    But note; I m not 100% sure that you'll be able to remove the CPU because the CPU can be welded on the map.
