Various system processes lead alienated CPU

I don't know where to begin - several rotating system process drive my CPU alienated to the point where my 2014 rMBP lasts maybe 3 hours off the charger and maintains high fans.

The processes include:

  • Google Chrome help
  • CalendarAgent
  • CalNCService
  • PhotoAnalysis
  • Process associated with Sophos (this is a commercial application of the antivirus that I need to have on my computer by work/school)

Things, I tried, without permanent success:

  • Reset my keychain - what causes a detective of other problems leading to -.
  • Restore my computer from a time Machine to the top
  • Remove all 3 Google calendars I've linked
  • Removal of caches

Ideas? I'm a student, so he is facing the embarrassment of fans screaming out of control... or my wrists while in the middle of burning class. I just noticed that running my MBP with an external screen made it to calm down but the process still zip to the top intermittently.

Crazy to believe, but the deactivation of reminders iCloud did the trick...

  • 'system' process in the Task Manager running @ 50 to 100%

    Just reinstalled xp family and for some reason, the 'system' process in the Task Manager runs 100% gel about the custom of all the system let me download updates update freezes keyboard and touch pad and wont stop. tried to reinstall it 4 times same thing every time

    You need to find the specific system process that takes all (there are a lot of threads related to the 'System' process) of the CPU resources and slow down your PC.

    To do this Process Explorer, try:

    Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
    In the task bar, select view and check 'show process Tree.
    as well as the options 'display the lower pane '.
    Move the cursor of your mouse over any column in the right pane and
    Make a right click and check the following boxes:

    (This will provide some of the detailed information you need)

    Then click on the CPU column to sort processes by CPU usage %.
    Then click on extend the process 'System' or 'Explorer' to expand and identify the specific subprocess using most or all the resources.
    Then click the sub-process or process listed under the system process that is using most or all the CPU %.
    Once the process or subprocess is highlighted, do a right click and select the options listed: online search. This should bring that out there on the web about this process.

  • 'System' process taking place on 120 000 K memory?

    My computer is a zombie literally. He died several times and has been reduced several times. It allows to launch Windows XP Media Edition 2005. Now, it runs Windows XP Home SP3.

    My question is if the process 'System', managed by the SYSTEM, be taking up more than 120 000 K of memory, all the time? I'm not sure that I never noticed the process using so many things before. If it's normal, then let me know, but if not, I would like some suggestions on how to make.

    The 'use of members' of a process listed in Manager tasks is not as important to the performance of your computer that the percentage of CPU cycles it takes.  If a process is not active, most (if not all) of his 'use of members' can in fact be paged out to the hard drive and takes no not all of your RAM.

    On the other hand, 120K seems high to me.  What is running?  What one / application v do you have?  AVG Anti-virus apparently can cause this symptom.

  • Works with Windows XP SP2 with IE8. A Norton 360 process ccSvcHst.exe CPU consumption. Upgraded to version 4.0.__Now IE8 Norton is very unstable, different processes consuming CPU even with turned off Norton. __

    I opened a folder support with Norton a couple of days, for a problem with ccSvcHst.exe cripling process my system by consuming my CPU.  I found that it was a common problem, and so I wanted Norton to solve.  Their guy accesed my remote system support and made a few changes to my configuration utility and my registry files and then upgraded my version of their latest version 4.0

    After the end of the support session, I finally restarted my system and encountered an error on my configuration utility being in a State of diagnosis, then that I should put it in a normal mode and restart again.  I noticed that it had disabled the start of my services.  I selected a normal startup and restarted.

    The problem with ccSvcHst.exe consuming my CPU is now resolved - be replaced by different processes consuming my CPU and use of extremely heavy memory (or misuse).  Faulty processes are mostly explorer.exe and iexplore.exe.  Not only that, but this current problem exists even when I turn off Norton.  I tried you connecting another deal with them, but they will not address the issue, since the problem (now) exist even without Norton running.  So, basically, they made the problem worse and then pushed him on Microsoft to resolve the issue.  It's really nice...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    It seems that your computer is infected. I get this from the fact that iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) is running. If you haven't started IE yourself, then it is a clear symptom of malware infection.

  • IM using XP and it keeps running a shutdown of the system initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM w/status code 1073741482 & system process ' C:WINDOWS\system32\services.exe. How can I stop the closure?

    I get the following message: closing system, the system stops. Please save all work in progress and log off. All wukk unsaved changes are lost. This shutdown was initiated by authority NT\SYSTEM. The system process ' C: Windows\system 32\services.exe ended unexpectedly with status 1073741482 code. The system will now stop diwn and restart.

    I tried the boot, and all the days that something did not work if today I'm the switch back to the normal startup. I tried to run a scan, but it does not have the "clean boot" State... it would also not automatic updates... so here Let's go!

    I had the same problem, tried the clean boot, like Wells, and it has not fixed the problem.  Please try this:
    There are several steps to follow.
    The first is a suggestion from one of the blogs with a slight variation.

    First step:
    Enter safe mode.  (Put in the computer market, press F8 several times until the window offering the Safe Mode option appears.  Use your top and arrows to select Safe mode, and then click it.)

    Since the Office Safe Mode:
    1. right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Properties': my computer-> properties. This opens the "System Properties" dialog box

    2. Select the "Advanced" tab

    3. under "Startup and recovery", click on the button "settings".

    4. at the bottom, in the section "System failure", see what boxes are checked. Windows XP checks them all by default.

    5. click on "Automactically restart." This is probably your cause if you get automactic closures. As an alternative to optimise this method, you can, at your own discretion, also do the following:

    i. uncheck "write an event to the system log.
    II. check 'Send an administrative alert' (which should do more to view the sudden error rather than stop).
    III. uncheck "Automactically restart."
    IV. in the combo box of the section 'Write debugging information', choose '(none) '. Note that this will disable the rest under "information write Debuggin".

    6. your finished, then click 'Ok' to close the dialog of void and then 'Ok' again in the "System Properties" dialog box

    That should do it. Some upgrade suggestions are the best propally but I think these security only handle issues related to other areas if they worth downloads of 2 to 5 hours of 56 k modem for added security. However, I find that some updates are not even for my type of installation (due to unused configuration detection?) or I do not use the services.

    For more information on Tweaking, I suggest to look at "http://www.tweakxp.com" If you are a user of Windows XP.

    Good luck.

    Step 2:
    Also in safe mode
    .

    Some of these steps have been found on the microsoft Web site.  However, the following text is a little different and should translate into success.  It did for me.
    1) enter the Configuration of the utility system.  You can do this by done safe mode right click on Start, by choosing Search, then typing in msconfig and searching the c: drive.  Once the search is complete, click on one of the icons of msconfig.  This will bring up The System Configuration utility.
    (2) click on the tab general select Selective startup.
    (3) click to uncheck the Process SYSTEM. INI file.
    (4) click to uncheck the process to WIN. INI file.
    (5) click to disable Load Startup items.  Make sure that The Load System Services and use Original of INITIALIZATION. INI are checked.
    6) click on the Services tab.
    (7) click to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box.
    8) click disable all, and then click OK.
    (9) computer.

    Step 3: log in to Windows.

    (1) when you receive the following message is displayed, click Select, check box don't show this message or launch the system to Windows Startup Configuration utility , and then click ok.

    If this solves the problem, go to step 4.  If it is not the case, then you will need support from a professional.

    Step 4: find the culprit.

    1) enter in the System Configuration utility (SCU for future reference.)
    2) click on the Startup tab.  (NOTE: If you find "audm" within the list of starting points, it is most likely the culprit.) It was for me. If it is, go to If not, go to 3).
    (3) the top of the list in the start menu, check AN item, then restart the computer. Make a note of each element that starts without failure.
    Repeat this step until you get the window to "Shut down NT Authority... ».  This will reveal that the start point is the origin of the problem.  Once found, go to 4).
    (4) get in safe mode / SCU / Startup / untick the culprit.
    (5) restart Windows.  If this solves the problem, you are almost finished.  If this isn't the case, you will need the services of a professional.

    Step 5: remove the culprit and the reactivation of the process.
    1) go to Start / Search / and look for the item that caused the problem.  (When I did a search for audm - 2 released files.)
    (2) delete all files with the name of the offender and empty your trash.
    3) enter the Configuration of the system - (start/run/msconfig).
    (4) on the general tab, re-enable the Process SYSTEM.ini, WIN.ini processand Load Startup items.
    (5) restart the computer.   The problem should be solved.
     
    Basic suggestions:
    (1) ALWAYS keep a firewall- and choose the option "Open at Startup.  (That's how I think that was my problem - by not having is not the Firewall opens at the beginning).
    (2) perform a virus Scan is every DAY.
    (3) keep all windows programs and drivers updated - every DAY.
    (4) keep all antivirus programs and firewalls updated - every DAY.

    Good luck

  • Can not turn on my computer... "the windows logon system process unexpectedly... system shutdown.

    When I turn on my computer, a blue screen appears and it says: 'the windows logon system process done unexpectedly...... closed system '. "what this means?

    I forgot to answer one question:

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The most likely problem is that this file is missing:

    c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe

    It might have been put in quarantine (actually deleted) by your antimalware/antivirus program, if you need to replace it.  There are other copies of the file on your system, which you can use to replace the missing file.

    You have to boot your system on something to do that, so if you have no real XP bootable installation CD, make a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    Sometimes there is a problem to get into XP with XP Home Recovery Console, but work on this first, then we will see the replacement of the file:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    When own running chkdsk/r, we can replace the file.

  • Windows 8-64 'System' process shows the constant hard disk activity

    Windows 8 system process shows a constant activity of hard disk (as shown in the resource monitor); read and write, but write.   (Lenovo T420, i7, 8 GB ram, disk full of ~ 40%).  This slows down the performance of the computer to a standstill.  No obvious reason why this should happen... nothing unusual current execution, only IE and Word + other normal stuff (files, Windows Defender history, etc.).  Can't all the time.  Seems to begin this behavior when switching users, or restart.  Can allow the computer to run for hours without solving this problem of disk write constantly.  Sometimes, but not always, the restart will also solve this problem.  Sometimes reboot seems to cause this behavior start.   Very annoying because it inhibits all operations of PC and its use.

    DELETED Comodo Internet Security.
    Restarted the computer.
    Installed Comodo Firewall ( NOT Internet Security, ONLY the firewall).
    Restart computer
    Activated
    Windows Defender from the center of the Action.
    Update Windows Defender online.
    Problem solved.
    If you guys are using Comodo internet security, remove and check.
    If you're not, there is probably an another 3rd party application which is the cause, probably badly tested safety related application.

  • 4 'system' process ID eat maximum CPU

    In the resource monitor process SYSTEM (PID = 4) consumes a lot of cpu and my computer is slow.

    Hi Pradeep,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly you experience slow performance on the computer.

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

    3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    You can run a full scan using the Microsoft Security essential and check for infections.

    Important: It could be a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and should be deleted.

    You can also run the FIXIT from the link and check if it helps.

    If the step does not help, you can start the computer in safe mode and perform a clean boot. Clean boot helps eliminate any conflict of third party software.

    Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

    Here is another article with some good to help improve the performance of computers. Go through it and check if it helps.

    Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  • Satellite L850-1V8 - 'System' process (PID 4) uses 100% of CPU

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L850 1V8 with windows 8.1 64 bit on it.

    I encounter the following problem: some times when I start the system, the 'System' (PID 4) NT kernel process begins to spin, taking up 100% of any one heart.

    This happens about 3-5 minutes after that the system is in place, but a few times I saw him from the hours later.
    I have to restart the system to make this problem go away.

    Someone at - there experience this problem?
    No idea where to start looking for a solution?

    These processes can be associated with any software / application running in the background system

    But I know kernel NT & system could be generated by http.sys uses port 80.

    That would mean that and would mean that a piece of software like IIS (internet Information services) could be responsible for this process in the background.

  • High CPU in the NT Kernel & System processes / ACPI.sys

    Periodically, I notice high CPU usage by the NT on Win7/Pro kernel process. Using Windows performance monitor, the offending subcomponent suggests ACPI. SYS.

    I also noticed that the problem starts after inserting/help/ejection of a USB key. This is consistent with some comments I've seen on the web regarding acpi.sys.

    This seems to be a bug with Windows 7 or other versions. Other restart, someone has anything that suggests to solve this problem.

    Saweinfield

    This trace points to ACPI but advanced to the video driver as the largest part of using ACPI.  It does not have a USB component either as a heavy user.

    I would like to start by reinstalling the most recent driver (even if it is the same date for the drivers become corrupt).  If the problem persists let us know and we can suggest other parameters for a second track.

  • Running process crushing the CPU

    Hey guys,.

    I installed Sierra on my Macbook Pro 13 "2015 today and had a problem where the process of"photoanalysisd"ran all the time.  I used between 120-150% of the CPU.  When I force quit, he came right away.  After a few hours, I went back to el Capitan.  If there are others out there who have had the same experience and a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    I think the "photoanalysisd" process of facial recognition / scene on your photo library.  I've seen this as well as a few other processes using higher than normal amounts of CPU.  A few hours later, everything is back to normal once all the new features have done their thing.  Depending on how many files, the speed of your system (CPU and storage read/write), and all what you use, this background process will end eventually.  It took a few hours for me to see that I had the minimal use of the processor idling.  I hope this helps.

  • System process in Windows XP is to read the huge of IO. _

    Hi all

    I use Windows XP SP3 custom provider version on my new Acer laptop.

    In Task Manager I noticed that the process of the system is to have a huge amount of e/s read hard bytes that the HDD LED does not blink. PC performance is not a problem, the PC is fast enough, I'm just wondering about the reason why the system increases its I/O read bytes approximately 5 megabytes per second. After a few hours of work, the process has read 35Gbytes and counting!

    I do run Sysinternals Process Explorer and view the process tree. There is not a "child" process system that makes these e/s, only the system itself is do these readings.

    I use antivirus, latest SP and patches, the system is perfect.

    CPU load is low, 2 to 3%.

    I try to capture the screenshot from Process Explorer, if you think it might be useful, but I do not know how to display it. I cal also try to save it for easy reading and TXT format.

    A response would be appreciated.

    Rgds,

    I found out what's going on and to share information with you all.

    The USB UMTS Vodafone made such I/O card, wrote difficult that in my view, there is no reason to do so - perhaps the software could have been better!
