The CPU usage goes to 100% when running any application.

Hi all

Please help me with this problem. I recently updated my system from windows xp service pack 3 for windows 7 Professional. But I'm having a problem with my CPU usage. My PC starts normally and continue to operate with a processor of 2-3%, but when I run an application or process as a copy, extract, play videos or MP3s etc... He spent almost at 100%. If I quit the application, it will return to normal with 2-3% of CPU usage. I searched the whole windows forums and have seen a lot of answers about the same topic, but none of them relates to the problems of mines.  o please help me with it...
My system configuration:
Intel processor Dual Core
2 GB RAM DDR2
320 hard drive
8129 Intel chip-set

  • The CPU usage goes to 100% frequently for all the computers on the network.

    Hi, I'm an engineer, for the past two weeks, my users are complaining about slow and found the CPU usage goes to 100% frequently, as we have laptop Dell Latitude with i7, 4 GB memory, Win7 64 bit OS. but this problem is din't solve even after fresh OS installation.

    Check your remote destop setting. When something like that happens, its been my experience that someone or something keep 'rattling' computers trying to connect to them i.e. virus/trojan or something that someone installed which is now trying to hit everything on the network.

  • The CPU usage goes to 100%

    I have a laptop Dell Studio 2010, the processor Intel, 4 GB of ram, hard disk 320 GM (180 GB consumed) running Windows 7 and IE 11 giving me CPU usage problems.  I don't know what everything is related, so here's the story.

    I lived my download speed slow - dropped by half every 2 hours or more after a reboot.  Occasional problems with the speed of the computer as well, and when I checked the resource monitor I see the CPU usage hit 100%.  A reboot has always solved the problem.  Running in Mode safe mode eliminates the loss of download speed so I knew it wasn't a problem with the hardware or my cable modem or a wireless router.  I have explored many possible problems, but none solves the problem, then I reinstalled Win 7 Friday, January 16.  Download speed, not only fixed but faster than before.  It remains stable and do not disintegrate so there was something wrong with the OS, etc.

    However, the problem of the use of the CPU remains.  What seems to happen is that something triggers a high demand and then all processes on the computer joins.   When I look at the resource now monitor consumes 1.3% of CPU, but when things are choking it consumes 15% of CPU and go all processes running as 0.5% to 5%.  So you can't point to a single process as the culprit it is possible that web sites of strong demand (lots of ads) trigger the problem.  I'll do some research on that.

    I did a lot of web research as well as this forum, and no patches seem to work or apply to me.  I ran a Malwarebytes scan and a full virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials: nothing found.

    The computer is almost 4 years, but I wouldn't spend the $$ to replace and find that the problem is software.  Any ideas?

    The problem solved when I've upgraded to Win10 on this machine.  At the same time degradation download speed (with time) newsletter is resolved.  I can't imagine how everything worked but I discussed the idea with several IT people I know and have gotten various suggestions.

    Since a clean installation of the operating system has not fixed it, I do not understand why install Win10 fixed, but that's it.

    Since then, I've replaced this computer.

  • The CPU usage goes up to 50-60% right when I start the computer.

    Original title: high CPU usage

    I have a pc with windows 7 64-bit, 4 GB ram, AMD Phenom II x 2 511 processor and a Nvidia Geforce Gtx 260. The CPU usage goes up to 50-60% right when I start the computer. I ran the Task Manager and there is no program using the cpu. It has nothing to do with anny viruses because I scanned the computer with two different programs. We do not have Steam and the EA download manager. What could be the problem?

    "Idle" means "doing nothing."  Windows runs the "System Idle" process when the processor has no useful to perform tasks.

    Look at the status bar at the bottom of the Task Manager and you will see that the CPU usage does NOT include the percentage for the System Idle process.

    What are the processes other than Idle System added up to 50-60%?

    I suggest that you run an online scan using antivirus ESET online--> http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

    and then download, install, update and run the free MalwareBytes AntiMalware--> https://www.malwarebytes.org/ version

    I expect that the MalwareBytes Installer is clean enough, but you should pay attention when installing any software to make sure that you accept all of the pre-selected options to install other bundled applications.

  • Running any application of CC sometimes allows to disable certain features of the Mac OS.

    I started having a problem recently when running any application from Creative cloud on my Mac (El Capitan-latest version). Three Mac OS features become disabled; (1) command-Tab to switch applications; (2) by moving the slider to the bottom of the screen to display the Dock; (3) switching between spaces is disabled. These problems occur regularly during my day job, but only for about 30 to 60 seconds every time. Then the computer works normally. I checked my monitor of activity at the time these issues are present but do not see anything unusual. I can't absolutely confirm that CC is the problem, but there seems to be only a problem if I have PS, IT or ID to open. Everyone knows these issues? Does anyone have a solution for this?

  • The CPU usage reaches 100% and the system locks requiring a hard restart on Windows Vista

    All of sudden the CPU usage reaches 100%, which makes the system dead slow and finally the system stops responding. I have to do a hard reboot to continue using the system.

    I tried to open the Task Manager to see if there are programs or services running that can consume resources and found nothing. The remains of number of CPU use, the graph to use but less than 10 years is hovering at 100%.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • The CPU usage of Flex-2 15 30% when idle after upgrade to Windows 10 * contains large Images *.

    BTW my 15 Flex-2 upgrade to Windows 10 Home took place, working after a few minor updates manual driver (WLAN, graphics)...

    However, since the upgrade, I feel an annoying symptom, which has been reported by users of other brands as well.

    Although I already follow most of related advice (known assassination unnessary process, change of reports), the CPU usage is still constantly around 30%, causing the fan to operate continuously and even more unsatisfactory: extremely affecting the battery life! Using processexplorer that I discovered, that svchost (or one of its processes) is at the origin of the problem, not one of the applications. As I am not able to dig deeper, I wonder what measures taken so far by Lenovo to have the Microsoft fix this problem.

    Attached: screenshots 'notification', 'Treaty', 'system '.

    Other tips are appreciated.

    Mod edit: added warning about large images for those who have slow Internet service.

    UPDATE Oct10:

    Went to manually check tile Lenovo Support and offered an update of SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe.

    Run the update and believe it or not: the CPU usage is almost back to normal (about 4%) with browser open FF and AV SW race. less than 2.5% use svchost. Fan turns down to 'stop' or low speed.
    Can someone pls? Be wary of situation for the next few days...

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:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    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 question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

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

  • Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

    Hi all

    I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

    THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

    Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

    Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
    However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

    DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

    HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
    I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

    Any ideas more how to debug this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
    It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

    I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

    So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
    Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

    I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
    I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background
