• Use Windows 7 CPU to 100% only when it is plugged

  I post this topic only because my problem is quiet unusual. I found hundreds of topics related to 100% CPU usage in Windows 7, but none of them was related to this over-consumption of the processor during the charging of the battery. There is also a situation that 100% of CPU usage occurs while working on the battery, but my case is completely the opposite.

  Windows 7 x 64 prof. system goes to 100% CPU use occasionally and it becomes impossible to work. then all of a sudden, the problem goes away and everything works right. After a few days of work without problem the problem returns and so on. I did the fresh install several times and the problem appeared immediately after the installation of the system every time. Finally, I discovered, that it lasts only when the charger is plugged in when you are working on the battery, everything works correctly. pluggng immediately after the CPU reaches 100% usage and so on.

  Help!

  Hello once again, Andre. Thank you for helping me. I tried to find such a framework (high precision event Timer) in my BIOS, but I did not: it seems to be fixed on my laptop. However, I found it in my Windows Device Manager and I have disabled HPET here, but it did not help in any case - there is no change in the use of the CPU (always 100%).

  BUT - I found an effective solution on my own! The thing was very simple - it was the fault of my power cord to the AC adapter / CC. I tried my colleague adapter and CPU usage dropped sharply to 5-10% on idle. Then I plugged my power adapter - use has exploded to 100%, and again, I used my colleague adapter - use declined.

  THE REASON FOR THE HIGH IN MY CASE CPU USAGE WAS DEFECTIVE AC ADAPTER

  It was a big surprise for me, because the problem occurred only from time to time. Apart from this, the laptop work properly. I tried hundreds of things, including the reinstallation of the system 3 times, change a hard drive (which seemed to make some strange sounds), my memory test, install the latest drivers from HP, change settings loading, etc. Only after buying a new battery (the old one was not operation at all) I noticed that the problem goes away after unplugging the AC adapter.

  I lost a lot of time trying to solve this problem and it was very frustrating, I also found that a lot of people have similar problems, so if you, dear reader, have 100% CPU use problem, unplugg your power adapter first know, that it's abandoned.

• Read the CPU hits 100% in the FIFO usage

  I have a PC in real-time with a card of RIO 7833R. I write the values that I read a microphone in a FIFO at a sampling rate of 4 kHz.The length of the FIFO is 2048. The PC in real-time, when I call 'FIFO read' function to read say 400 data samples, the use of CPU time real PC hits 100%. Why is it so? The function 'Read FIFO' is placed inside a while loop.

  Thank you

  Prashant

  Hi Prashant,

  Reading the FIFO is a method of querying, so if the number of elements specified to read are not available when the method is called, it queries the FPGA until they are.  This causes the CPU to 100% usage. You can find more information on this subject and a way around this here.

• After awhile java.exe is the CPU at 100%

  Hello!

  I have a problem with the java.exe in the environment in which I work. In the environment, I have a physical server: Sun Fire X 4100 Server with 2 processors and 16 GB of RAM for control of virtualization. On the system, this is the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and vCenter 5.5.

  For the most part, we are 5 guys in the team who use the vSphere Web GUI. We are connecting to the server using RDP and after some time, we can not connect because the CPU is at 100%. It takes 20-30 minutes to be able to connect. And then 5-10 minutes to be able to click on something. For example, to kill the java.exe file keeps the CPU at 100%. This isn't a good idea because afterwords the Web GUI does not work so we need to restart the server.

  Anyone of you have any idea why this is happening?

  Bogdan

  Sorry! I can't see the part about it being the physical server... which version of VC is this?

• Windows XP I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes.

  Running Windows XP, I often setup.exe keeping the CPU at 100% for at least a few minutes... this process can be completed or ignored?

  "Setup.exe" is a generic term used by many applications.  The short answer is 'yes', it's OK to complete the process, but you really need to know what it is and why it continues to run.

  You probably need to download, install, update and run these free malware scanner (not at the same time):
  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  If that is not fix things, and assuming that this process begins when you start the computer, download, install, and run Autoruns.  When Autoruns has finished scanning, click the 'Connection' tab and look for the line that contains "setup.exe".  You can just uncheck the box on the left, or remove the item, which will prevent the routine of starting when Windows starts.

  Preferably, however, you should look at the path containing setup.exe where you should be able to deduce what application is trying to set itself up.  You can then take the appropriate measures, which may be simply delete the folder that contains the file.  Note that if you delete the file, you must ALSO remove the line in Autoruns, otherwise you will get a "file not found" error every time Windows starts.

• Use of the CPU VM

  I have a virtual machine that frequently pegs on the CPU at 100%. He is currently in a resource pool where actions = normal and limit = unlimited.

  It is not that there is a conflict of CPU with other virtual machines. should I guess there is a problem specific to this virtual machine? The tools are obsolete, so that will be addressed this afternoon. The application is Informatica and I am limited to application 1 CPU due to licensing with Informatica. Drive on a San, and neither the C & F is aligned block.

  Other than anything that is not correct, what is the best way to give this specific virtual machine more CPU at the moment?

  TIA

  Take a look at the last post. http://communities.VMware.com/message/1588317#1588317

  I'll try with less than hearts. If you get good results with 2 hearts then renewal or maintenance may be less costly. You will have more resources to be allocated to other virtual machines.

• When he puts an end to Firefox 3.6.6 firefox.exe continues to turn, visible in the Manager of tasks (XP) and stimulates the activity of the CPU up to 60% with the danger of overheating. Have not found an appropriate response with the search term "abnormal

  This has happened

  A few times a week

  is after update of Firefox 3.6.4

  I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 except that it also consumes massive amounts of CPU during the race. This version also adds a new process on your system. I am running XP and in the beginning I tried to disable some plug-ins. Always consumed too much memory. I went back to version 3.6 and the new process went, and the CPU consumption is way down. Something is wrong with the latest version of Firefox, I never saw behave this way. Revert to a previous version (Filehippo) and you will see the difference.

• Event Viewer Help - PC uses the CPU to 100% every 10 seconds

  Every 10 seconds, my CPU goes to 100% usage and then back down to normal levels.  When I check the event viewer, it says that Itunes is the source of the problem.  I uninstalled Itunes and other Apple software and still have the problem.  How to use the info in the event viewer to clear the file that asks that question?

  The event viewer displays the following:

  GroupOperationId 143

  OperationId 800

  Operation Start IWbemServices::ExecQuery - select * from Win32_Product where Name = "iTunes."

  ClientMachine Local

  User . \SYSTEM

  ClientProcessId 0

  NamespaceName \\.\root\cimv2

  Help! I have spent HOURS trying to understand this point and cannot!

  Thank you

  Jaime

  Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx and run Autoruns and click on everything and see if there are lists of iTunes.  If so, clear the checkbox to remove the starter.  Check the complete list in case there is more than one entry.  When finished (if you foind alone), reboot and see if the problem persists.

  Download Revo and use it to uninstall iTunes http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html.  He is able to find and to perform an uninstall, then restart and see if the problem is resolved.  If he could not find or uninstall iTunes do not bother with the reset - it did not work.  Try to reinstall iTunes and then uninstall with Revo instead of Vista uninstalling the program to see if that makes a difference.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Double-click the error message in the event viewer, and it can provide premanente details that can help us find the problem.  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.petri.co.il/vista-event-viewer.htm. Display any additional information that you will learn (if any).

  In the Task Manager when you see the running process, try clicking on it and then click end task.  Is there any task containing more than 10% of the CPU at all times - if so, what?  I assume that you have already tried it and a new process starts just 10 seconds later.

  The above information is useful in telling us that iTunes seems to be the cause.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  This can happen because of the < center > element that does not have a height and a width specified. Don't forget to specify the dimensions for all containers if you use percentages, otherwise you can end up with 90% of 0 or a default value.

• Use of the CPU 100%, the system crashes often

  Hi, I'm an IT support Engineer, we have a Department in our company, and last week two, the employees of this Department are problems, 100% usage and the system freezes. I formatted and scan too after I got some biscuits that has been deleted by Symantic, but always facing the problem, maybe a shared folder got infected and they use that shared folder, he gots system this question.

  Please let me know what is the solution, there is no particular process causing the CPU usage.

  Operating system is Win 7 64 bit and antivirus is the Symantec Endpoint.

  If the 100% CPU usage is split into several processes?
  ("there is no particular process causing the CPU usage)

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when the computer not / when they connect. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when thecomputer is (or they connect) that they do not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what fits the time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.  This could better focus in on what is actually using the time processor.

  What this for any other account?  What if it is not connected to the network?

• Can not find AcerCloud customer to remove. It uses too much CPU and I even do not use.

  HI, I'm trying so my hand on streaming and running programs is fine on my cpu and is not more than 70%. However, I noticed that AcerCloud Client (32-bit) sometimes decides to examine the CPU usage, often maing my CPU 100% usage and I even do not use.  Normally I would not have noticed but my streaming (OBS) software crashes and disconnects me when the CPU usage becomes too high and it's really frustrating, especially since I don't even use the program.

  I picked it out, but in my list of programs he isn't here.  I removed Acer portal because I thought it was her.

  Where is AcerCloud customer?  I want to remove it since its origin a nuisance and I'm not using it anyway.  I win 10.  Help, please

  Hello

  Try to remove all the software listed on this page. With them, you can also remove the acer clouds.

  Also try to navigate to C:\Program cloud\ Acer and see if you find one kind configuration here which could allow you to uninstall. Also, if you don't find anything, try the Program Files (x 86) folder.

• I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update. The svchost.exe process is spiking the CPU at 100% after the computer crashes.

  Original title: I can't find the fix_svchost.bat file update.

  I'm in you process of having my computer running faster. The svchost.exe process takes 100% of cpu memory and computer dthe freezes. A friend of mine told me a method to solve the problem, but I can't find the fix_svchost.bat update. I went to microsoft update center and don't find any results at all, and I don't know another place to look for. I think that the update does not even exist.

  I could send you a fix_svchost.bat file, but I don't think it's the starting point.

  What you need to do is run a few respectable scans for malware first, and then see if any of you are your svchost.exe process is still badly behave.

  Behind each of the svchost.exe process that see you in the Manager of tasks can be one or more process of XP you have to be running, but malware is KNOWN to imitate or hide behind a svchost.exe process, so you won't be able to see in Manager tasks.  You have to outsmart it.

  First yo should make a reasonable effort to eliminate malware, and then start troubleshooting - not the other way around.

  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?

  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..

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
