Vista Sidebar uses 56% of the CPU.

I have 4 GB of RAM and Vista sidebar is with 56% of it... Other problems: clock is stuck. Gadgets calendar & different weather, have purple underscore
Does anyone have a simple solution to these problems

Yes, there is a simple solution. Download autoruns from http://www.sysinternals.com. Run it, and then in the menu options select "Hide Microsoft and entered windows."

Disable all third part of each tab entries except the tab drivers ensure that you clear not all critical components. Disable items that are more specifically under internet explore and Explorer tab.

Reboot and see if the performance of the system and looks best. Also download process explore http://www.sysinternals.com

(1) Download Process explore http://www.sysinternals.com
(2) download and install http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.Mspx of windows debugging tools
(3) create a c:\symbols folder
(4) run the Explorer process and then in the menu options select "configure symbols." Form dbghelp.dll path specify the location where you installed the debugging tools.

Specify the following options for the path of the symbols
SRV * c:\symbols* http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
(5) select the process that shows the high utilization of the processor. Right-click on it, and then click Properties
6) go in the discussions tab and sort colum CPU in order descending, so that funtion name that consumes more of the processor is listed in the upper part.
(7) the address colum that the dll and function which will tell you which component on your CPU and what function he is causing the high CPU usage
(8) get the supplier to get the fixed number.

Pretty Simple.

Hope this helps you. Have a great day! Thank you and best regards Gurpreet Singh

  • Constantly, Firefox crashes and freezes; uses 100% of the CPU during freezing.

    Almost spontaneously, Firefox would freeze and unresponsive. Meanwhile, every Firefox window is out bleached and do not meet any entry, and the Firefox process uses up to 100 percent of the CPU. All active content running at the time of the gel, if one continues to operate as usual (videos continue to play, web applications, provide audio notifications send as usual, the visuals are now not visible as browser windows are frozen.) The sound continues uninterrupted, however.)

    Freezing can occur at any time. Even when the user does not interact with Firefox, it can still freeze. Gel persists with all addons and plugins disabled.

    The freeze would last between a few seconds to a minute, and after freezing, Firefox takes always respond as if nothing happened. While it causes no significant losses, the gel is extremely annoying and can occur as often as once every ten minutes.

    The symptom of freezing is universal for all versions of firefox between 5 and 8.0a2.

    I had this problem since I upgraded from FF5 to 6.02. I got the dev of Aurora version installed, so I can also confirm that the problem occurs in several versions. Exactly as mentioned OP: CPU load max, gel application, even without opening all Web sites - once again, he froze immediately after starting when the browser cache cleaning.

    My profile was very old. I also disabled all Addons and Plugins, and the problem persisted. After that, I uninstalled Firefox but didn't keep my profile - no chance.

    Nevertheless, reinstall a complete, plus the withdrawal of all profile data (C:\users\me\AppData\Local\Mozilla and C:\users\me\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla - export your bookmarks first of course) solved the problem. Downside is, you must reinstall all the AddOns, and your settings and cookies went. But these gels were even more annoying, so my advice would be to create a new profile.

  • Why the plugin-container is very use 50% of the CPU?

    The container.exe - plugin in firefox 4.0 use about 50% of the CPU it forces worst response time for other applications that are running.

    Please check if Firefox is running in Windows compatibility mode - see here.

    Otherwise, check the extensions, you can run - see here.

    If still no luck, please have a read through the article Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources for other causes possibly.

    Feel free to contact Firefox support again if you still have problems.

  • Simple Script Execution: Days and only using 15% of the CPU power

    Dear community,

    I have a data file (.tdm) with 17 channels of waveform point each containing 13742499 data. I want to delete all the data points that are not actual load points. I have build a canal ("LoadTrigger") that is a trigger for points of interest. With the following script, I tried to erase the im not interested datapoints:

    Dim RowCount

    Number of lines = 1 to GlobalChnLength

    ChnVal if (RowCount, "/ LoadTrigger") = 0 THEN

    Call the DataBLDel ("1-17 ', RowCount, 1" ")

    End If

    Next

    The script is now running for more than 20 hours with no result. Can someone please tell me if I am wrong in my script, or if there is a way to make it faster?

    In addition, I wonder why DIADEM uses no more than my cpu power? As you can see in the photo attached DIADEM mainly use a carrot and never more than 15% of the CPU.

    Best regards and hoping answers of construcitve!

    If you try to delete rows based on conditions, you can use code like this:

    Option Explicit
    CreateExample

    "Make sure that the correct group is active.
    data. Root.ChannelGroups (1). Activate
    ' chncalculate allows you to set values that match a NOVALUE condition
    Call chncalculate ("Ch (1) = Ch (1) + CTNV (0 = Ch (1))")
    'Delete the lines that contain a NOVALUE in channels '.
    Call ChnNovHandle ("[1] / [1]", "" [1] / [2]'-' [1] / [3]'","Delete","XY", 1,0, 0)

    Sub CreateExample()
    data. Root.Clear
    Dim g: g = given game. Root.ChannelGroups.Add ("group")
    Dim c1: set c1 = g.Channels.Add ("c1", DataTypeFloat64)
    Dim c2: set c2 = g.Channels.Add ("c2", DataTypeFloat64)
    Dim c3: set c3 = g.Channels.Add ("c3", DataTypeFloat64)
    I have Sun: for i = 1 to 100
    C1 (i) = I mod 2
    C2 (i) = I have
    C3 (i) = i * 0.00001
    Next
    EndSub

    that will remove all lines that contain a 0 in the first round.

  • WmiPrvSE.exe running using 25% of the CPU.

    Just yesterday, I noticed that my CPU was running several processes to idle: WmiPrvSE.exe, svchost.exe and mcods.exe.  Mcods is a process of Mcafee, I'm guessing that Wmiprvse is the process that is currently running and trying to solve something?  I tried to restore to a previous point, but received an error message about the restoration process is not be able to find a file of the registry and not being able to restore to an earlier point.  I ran a scan of full virus/malware with McAfee as suggested in other responses of WmiPrvSE and no problems were detected. I'd appreciate any help troubleshooting this.

  • CentOS 5.5 100% CPU use 50% of the CPU of the host - very simple config

    Hello.

    On an upgrade on ESXi 4.0u1 - & gt; ESXi 4.1, I got a CentOS 5.5 32bits with VMware tools and local storage SCSI RAID5.

    Host: IBM x 346 Intel Xeon 3, 4 Mhz single core, hyper-threading, dual-CPU 10 GB of RAM.

    VM: CentOS 5.5 32bits, kernel 2.6.18 - 194.11.1.el5 #1 SMP

    VM resources: 4 vCPU, 4096 MB RAM, affinity and default limits

    I've got high utilization of the processor on this light apache + mysql box. In order to optimize the system, I came to this observation:

    -When my CentOS VM uses 100% cpu, the ESXi host uses only 50%

    My question is: why is it impossible to use more cpu, as this the only VM on the host?

    Clues or tips?

    TIA

    First of all, you have an absolutely incorrect configuration.

    You see 2 CPU * HT * 1 core = 4 logical processors in ESXi. But actually it's only 2 physical cores, and you should not give any VM on the ESXi exceeding 2 vCPU, because it isn't real processors and VM is not aware of it.

    If you have 2 virtual machines with 2 vCPUs each then Yes, HT will give performance gain, but not in this case.

  • Satellite R850 uses only 25% of the CPU

    Hey, my toshiba satellite R850 uses 25% of the CPU, I got 8 GB of ram, and most of the higher quality games have 20-30 FPS, is there a possibility to make it higher?

    Thanks for the help!

    How do you get this value or how do you know that only 25% of the CPU performance can be used?

    Have you noticed this behavior of the laptop is running on battery or power?

    Usually, you can change the max and min of CPU performance values in Windows power management. This allows you to decrease the CPU heat dissipation and to increase the working time of battery.

    In contrast to Intel CPU support between that the enhanced SpeedStep Technology puts both voltage and frequency in tandem up and down level to processor support.
    Simply said: the CPU runs with only if more high performance s necessary!

    I think the game frame per second question is more related to the graphics card than the CPU.
    Not quite sure this graphic card your laptop stand, but in case you want to have big game performance, the laptop should be equipped with a GPU external nVidia or ATI.

    Hello

    If you plan to build your app for Windows, you can use .NET classes. (System.PerformanceCounter), there is a simple example with LabVIEW:

    Also, you have several screws that you can use to verify information about the processor.

  • Excessively the CPU usage high on my Equium M70

    Hello

    Recently in the last month my summer CPU usage hit 100% when I m not running any software tax (only internet explore and windows media player).

    It is slowing down the load time and the area near the fan is hot enough.

    I have a Satellite M70-337, with a 1.7 centrino processor and now 2 GB of RAM (formerly 512 megabytes). I upgraded the ram in December and had no problems like that, now it just started happening recently, I have installed everything that would, there is no unnecessary programs running and it was after I restored my computer to factory with the startup disk settings (a month later), he seems to have come from nowhere. On the list of the Task Manager it shows my web browser and Media Player by using most of the CPU, but I could have sworn that they use so far before.

    I don't know if the RAM would have been a factor, but it was the correct RAM for it and windows recognized to 2 GB.

    Why would it suddenly happened any ideas guys?

    Hello

    I have the same model of laptop and at the moment I have no such problems. To be honest, I did new installation OS 3 months ago and after installing Microsoft Update, I noticed this laptop does not work as before. Just for example: if I use IE7 extensively with several different tabs in the Task Manager I can see this need for IE more than 300,000 k of memory and crashes somehow. After the closure of the IE and ending THE process sin Task Manager I can work normally again.

    I don't really know how your operating system is configured, but in the Task Manager, you should see what running process is responsible for the high CPU usage. Maybe some antivir application? Sorry, but it is really not easy to sayt why this happens. Play around with the current process.

    In recent weeks I have problem like describbed here: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=126670𞻎

    Almost the same thing - my computer starts and works ok, but from time to time is frozen by Symantec Service Framwork and all other descriptions are the same.

    "After having been inactive during these seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a huge noise, that I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was operating at 100% for a while due to other programs." Force a reboot is all what I can do. »

    Almost all accidents that this question was by NIS2008, but also Vista explorer.exe and fingerprinttray service or the service of the Index process.

    I received a notice from the team of NIS that I get to use the new NIS09, and for sure that my machine is damaged - check it out here http://community.norton.com/norton/board/message?board.id=nis_feedback&message.id=6964&quer y.id = 22439 #M6964

    I called the Service, which has changed the ATV and CPU - I changed to NIS09 after, a few weeks was good, but now the problem back - in the last two weeks twice. (I observe that starts about 5 minutes after download of updates to NIS (I know cos NIS 09 indicator of that time).)

    One change - Vista is able to kill that process damaged (Admins have no right to do), starts the process of WeAreFault, which sends information on crash for MS - after about 15 min computer starts to work properly without reboot... so I think that a problem is somwhere on the line between Toshiba and Norton, cos repair also change in behaviour of the machine - is now using work not CPU around 20% - before was 50 to 70% and 100% of crash. Norton is also, but must for this.

    Does anyone have a conclusion?

    Generally, I don't like Norton because he needs as many resources and make the laptop lazy. On the net, you can find very good alternative applications.
    Have you tested how the laptop works after removing the NIS?

  • Vista Enterprise using 100% CPU countiniously

    I use Vista business on dell Inspiron 6400 (had vista with laptop). The laptop has dual core processor and a CPU is used 100% without interruption since install. I have installed all updates using windows update utility. I have also disabled the indexing service and also to adjust Visual effects for best performance. The problem still exists.

    In the Task Manager, I see a peremptory touch 100% CPU graph and another pretty normal CPU graph. I have 2 GB of ram and still 1,3 GB free. I have not yet installed any software. In the list of process System Idle Process takes, 90 + CPU usage no other program uses much CPU.

    For this reason, my laptop is very slow to respond and almost useless, please help me.

    I think that I found the correct culprit this time. I tried to disable the edge of BIOS devices implemented and it worked. When narrowed "Media Card and 1394" device was causing too much hardware interrupts. My PC works fine and no CPU usage after you turn off the device. I think that the fault was in Media card on board the aircraft.

    It took me a long way to reach this solution, so to help others here you are a few steps to take to limit the problem.
    -Task Manager open to see if any software uses the CPU more than expected. If you notice any software then its easy to uninstall or disable the program at startup etc.
    -If Task Manager processors are normal and yet one or more CPU is used close to 100% and then download and run http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe ProcessXP and run
    -If material interruptions take up too much cpu, then try to disable/remove your attached devices, like modems usb, wireless lan, lan card BIOS Setup etc.

    Hope this will help.
