• NVIDIA graphics card closes. Computer and high use of CPU error closes

  I can understand the instructions, but I don't know how to solve these problems.  My first question is NVIDIA Graphics quits working.  I arrived at the place where I can repair it and he just tells your computer couldn't download the solution.

  My second question is High CPU use of them and warning that closed just from my computer.  Is that what I can do to help the problem?

  To a high utilization of the processor first open Vistas ' performance and reliability monitor "and see which consumes the most resources.

  Y at - it no particular message that you see about NVidia? It happens when the execution or enforcement of any application specific/s?  Some old material (graphics cards) will not face the games and images high rates etc and can overheat.

  If it's a specific NVidia problem then I would contact the manufacturer of PCs and NVidia for the drivers updated and advice.

• WksCal.exe using 50% CPU

  Overview of resources shows that WksCal.exe uses 50% of the CPU resource. For a feature that I even don't use it seems to be down. I know that I can turn it off, but I'm more interested to know if this is an indication of other problems.

  Hello RobtC,

  Thank you for posting.
  wkscal.exe process is the civilian component of MsWorks. It works similar to a traditional calendar, which allows you to schedule meetings and set reminders etc. If you find useful MsWorks calendar, you must leave the wkscal.exe running process.

  My theory as to why it would be to use 50% CPU, is that it could be synchonizing with a mobile device as in the link here

• MacBook Pro random high utilization of the processor (iCoreService/DCAManager using + 400% CPU?)

  Hello

  I'm running an Early 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 with a 2.2 GHZ Quad Core i7 processor 1 TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and 16 GB of RAM Crucial. I noticed for about a month, I'm going to do a simple task or two on my Mac, then all of a sudden I noticed spikes CPU temporary, 90 + degrees C and the kick of fans trying to cool high speed. Well, I don't know why this is happening when I do nothing to justify a high utilization of the processor. I'm used to the CPU running hot when I do something intensive graphic as running Autodesk Inventor CAD software, run a machine virtual or even watch a 1080 p @ 60 fps video on youtube (it is the lowest resolution that requires the Mac switch to the dedicated AMD Radeon 6750 M GPU that usually eventually warm it quickly) , but this use high random that happens when I have Mail open in the background, and one tab open with a 720 p @ 30 fps video Youtube open (or even less). I took a few screenshots of the activity Manager indicating the best processes and Intel Power Gadget indicating the temperature of the CPU:

  

  

  

  Does anyone know what are iCoreService and/or DCAManager and why they use so much of my CPU when this happens? And someone has encountered this weird behavior before? Thanks in advance!

  The most likely cause is an applicztion you have running that is corrupt and forcing them to use the CPU too. Were you able to kill the process in activity monitor? If you have not yet tried to do, so I'll try that first. I would also try to quit all open applications.

  If you start the computer in Safe Mode , you can test if the problem is still there. If it isn't, usually means something that is managed by you start-up or an application that you use may be the cause.

• Why Firefox uses 100% CPU when I am connected to eBay?

  Firefox uses 100% CPU when I connect eBay.

  Hi apdubois, it is useful to know that Flash is the problem but, as you point out, life without Flash is not very interactive.

  It is a standard orientation that addresses the most common reasons for problems of Flash in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

  (1) make sure that all recorders/downloaders who interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

  (2) disable graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox and Flash

  (A) in Firefox, uncheck the box here and restart:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > General > "use hardware acceleration when available.

  (B) in Flash, see this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

  (3) turn off protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

• Why is-disk cleanup using excessive cpu

  Why my disk cleanup tool uses 100% of my cpu when checking files to remove? Microsoft has a software revision FixIt who would limit their cleaning tool for maximum cpu utilization of 50%. If this isn't the case, I suggest that he. Google has implemented this principle in their system of Chrome. Thank you.

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• What's doing cidaemon.exe and why should I use 1200% CPU?

  When the Mnager task at hand this race, my PC slows down significantly I am running AVG (and SP3.

  It is part of the Microsoft Indexing Service.

  Here are some words of copy/paste to this topic:

  This process builds and updates the catalog index and generally used a lot of time processor. However, cidaemon .exe is also set to run at a low priority, so it is not usually degrade the performance of the system, even if it's a high level of CPU.

  It is true that t is running in a "Below normal" priority, seen in the Task Manager, but because most of the people seem to want their systems to run faster, I'll usually turn off in the Services Applet and think of it as a background running boring useless (one of many) service.

  I always try to speed things up, not slow things down!

  Some googling will tell you more info on how it works.

• 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.

• Windows Media Player network sharing using 33% CPU resources

  Network Media Media Player sharing module chew cpu

  I have a problem to use cpu similar to others on the use of the CPU window media player.  I used process Explorer tool and concluded that the wmpnetwk process was continulally with 33% of the resources of my CPU, even when the media player is started.  Media player itrself use about 20-22% cpu when it is open and put a media is underway, which is all the time. MY PC has a CPU triple heart so it is a pretty big piece of the CPU!   I tried all of the fixes suggested without result.  It is perhaps a more unique problem.  I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 vista premium 64 premium, but not to install a clean (delete all).  Found a number of problems related to the user's requests and reinstalled them.  As media player and media center are part of the operating system apparently I can't do that for them.  This JUST started happening.  Is it possible the update did something?  Also, I have a laptop with windows 7 preinstalled and won't have the same problem.  I look at this turning point multimedia and Media Player off and setting adobe media player as my default until someone can come to a better suggestion.

  Quick update.  Player use and cpu just off center media and the media is back at a low level.  Remains to be seen.  Why wmpnetwk use so much cpu?

  In fact, I found that my step can be a little higher and quite tedious.

  You can actually do the following which allows to save time! Wmplayer.exe is responsible for managing the shared library, wmpnetwk.exe share this library on the network(Please correct me if I'm wrong here)

  1. Open Windows Media Player and remove all monitored folders and close Windows Media Player (for me Windows Media Player became unresponsive after he consumed more than 300 MB, so I closed it by force), open it again with an eye on the Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) process to ensure that the CPU is acceptable.
  2. Add a tracking of file in Windows Media Player.
  3. When the dialog box opens showing the progress of the files added to the library, keep an eye so it gets stuck for a long time (about 2-5 min +, normally, you will find that the memory usage begins to boost quickly) and take a note which folder/sub-folder it got stuck on. (It is a good indicator that a file in this folder may be corrupted), if the dialogue ends while watched folder has no problem.
  4. If there is a problem with step 3, close the dialog progress, remove this folder monitored, close Windows Media Player and move half the files in this folder that you noted to another folder not monitored . Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the watched folder performs its search.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until you have added all the files in Windows Media Player.

  I don't know why there no code in windows media player to check if corrupted files, but it is definitely a leak memory in the application and I hope this will be corrected my Microsoft soon!

• Touchpad causing excessive use of CPU on Vostro 3558 (Windows 10)

  Hello.

  I am therefore unable to use Windows 10 because using the touchpad causes the process "System and compressed memory" to use more than 30% of CPU.

  I made a GIF showing what I mean:

  As soon as I start to scroll and move the pointer this process ("Sistema y memoria compartida" in Spanish, but it's the same, ntoskrnl.exe) raises my CPU usage, as you can see.

  I tried a lot of things, but I always have to go back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  -J' uses latest Touchpad drivers from the site Web of Vostro 3558.

  -J' tried 19.0.9.4 old synaptic drivers for Vostro 3558 by www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

  -J' lastest synaptics.com generic drivers, tried both SMBus and IC2 versions, but they do not work at all (I even manually installed them in Device Manager).

  -This has happened the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10 of Windows and installs also in fresh Win10.

  Without drivers from dell (using default microsoft HID Driver and synaptics.com), I get no problems of use of CPU, but none of the gestures of course.

  I ask for help because I don't want to stay in Win7/Win8, and it drives me crazy.

  I fixed it messing with Vostro 3559 touchpad driver and driver Lenovo Yoga 3 1370.

  IN FACT, WINDOWS 8.1 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT TRIED WINDOWS 10.

  THE STEPS I DID TO FIX IN WINDOWS 8.1;

  1. install the VOSTRO 3559 Windows 7 touchpad drivers:

  

  2. open Device Manager, open the section "Mice and other pointing devices" and right click on "Dell Touchpad" (it should be named only after having installed the drivers Vostro 3559). Select "Update driver software".

  3. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"

  4. uncheck the "Show compatible hardware", go to "Synaptics" and select "Touchpad"

  

  5. now if you check your device manager there is NO HIGH CPU USE, BUT TOUCHPAD IS LAG like *, as on some XPS models.

  Now, why I did everything above? Because I can not install directly Lenovo Touchpad drivers without installing the first software of Vostro 3559. Synaptics software simply does not therefore not gestures.

  6. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE WINDOWS 8.1 LENOVO YOGA TOUCHPAD DRIVERS 3

  

  Direct link:

  7. OPEN the DEVICE MANAGER AGAIN AND THE SAME THING, BUT THIS TIME WE will USE "LENOVO POINTING DEVICE" rather than "TOUCHPAD" OR "DELL TOUCHPAD"

  8. YOU're not in MEASUREMENT OF CLICK NOW AS a RESULT OF SWITCHING THE DRIVER, so YOU WILL NEED AN EXTERNAL MOUSE, OPEN TASK MANAGER AND CLOSE ALL SYNAPTICS and PROCESS RELATED of TOUCHPAD.

  9. GO TO C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP AND OPEN SYNTPENH. EXE

  
  

  10. HERE, YOU HAVE A JOB ENTIRELY TOUCHPAD WITHOUT MAKING YOUR CRAZY CPU

  You don't need to do anything at the next start of Windows, it is already fixed.

  REFERENCE DELL FIX YOUR DRIVERS.

• Firefox and Shockwaveflash 14.0.0.145 using 100% CPU

  Firefox (v30.0) normally uses the CPU of 2 to 6%.
  When I start a video using shockwave flash 14.0.0.145, firefox uses 20 to 40% of the CPU and shockwave 50-80%.
  For the most part resulting in a total of 100% CPU usage.
  This problem occurs for a week or two.
  I am running Microsoft Vista.

  You can check for problems with the current versions of the plugin Shockwave Flash and try this:

  • Check updates for your drivers drive graphics
    https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
  • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
  • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

• Why remove the only element used, the bar addons?

  Why their v29 change log done said 'additional options', when the only thing that most of us see is deleted the options, including the most widely used single section: bar of the addon? I don't want to install an addon to display the bar of the addon, which is present from pre-Firefox Mozilla days. So why delete the single most used item? Done the previous CEO Pro-life as it too and the new direction isn't that? Looks like Firefox is going backward, not forward.

  NO.... I'm not citing specific examples, but put MORE junk at the top after we are inundated with having TO use the tabs (which are redundant copies of windows below only cramped in to the top at the same time bar) bar, now I have 22 size icons and even drop my space window of text buttons lower in my workspace. It is not that the buttons/icons/addons don't work. (I swear to you that I don't know how people who work in support might need these detailed explanations) It is the fact that, to keep the premium screen, space open, to crush the tabs windows and Firefox destroyed this option. So we went with opening and closing of the bar of the addon whenever we need an add-on. Not to mention the addons as a certain addon Instagram that shows when new photos have arrived, or my safety bar that shows how much the ads and the sites have been blocked, as well as a mouse on display them separately in a concealed popout. Firefox developers are so stuck on their own crud they REALLY think that everyone has and uses on a Galaxy phone apps and crunches all icons like a 13 year old? Those of us who are older, more mature and use addons for something else than sharing photos... (as my Google Voice addon that does not work now to accept calls to open a bar and clicking on the icon until it accepts the click, oops dropped call or went to voicemail because you did not 3-ring)... Phone, Flash development, download videos from websites, eBay, Amazon shopping sales, torrents and each model of business platform has their own INHOUSE addon. You DESTROYED, DECIMATED, no. the model of less clicks is longer, for A SUPPOSEDLY SLIM BROWSER SIMPLIFIED! It's no wonder Execs of Firefox are clueless. Block us who care, our usage patterns and thus only the details on the use of the games for children under 15 to noticed by telemetry from FF.

  The basic concept, delete something, at least that replace you it with something equality in employment and work.

  Make users create a toolbar addon to replace the bar of the addon is stupid! Pointblank and simple.

  Add more clicks to get to the new bar addon was stupid and dumber still was the destruction of a top level bar with a value of the space in the window by the new addon bar be an addon or a creation of the user between the Bookmark Bar and address bar. STUPID!

  Finally, why is Firefox simplify anything. It is at the discretion of the user during the construction of its browser him or her self. That's what means be a modular browser. It is not Mr. potato head with only 4 types of eyes, nose and mouth. It's supposed to be a free canvas to work and create our idea of art works.

• Explorer.exe using 50% CPU

  My Vista has suddenly become almost unusable.  Task Manager shows explorer.exe uses 50% of the CPU.  I rebooted a couple of times.  If I use the Task Manager to kill him I can run programs using the application tab.  The computer works well without exploring. But then I don't have a task bar so I hope it's temporary.  I ran the windows malicioussoftwqare removeal tool - who found nothing.  The program is c:\windows\explorer.exe.

  Does anyone know the solution?

  Many times when someone experiences this problem, it may be due to add-ons explore or shell extensions. Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.

  Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?

  You can use Process Explorer from Sysinternals to check the stack of the thread using the most CPU in the explorer.exe process, when you experience the behavior.  When Explorer uses the CPU as you have indicated, double-click the process in Process Explorer and go to the tab of the Threads.  Sort the list of threads by Cycles Delta (descending) and note the thread at the top. Double-click it and discovered its stack. Look for third-party modules (extensions of shell or modules, AV software, etc.) in the stack.  Disable (Autoruns or ShellExView, maybe) / uninstall these components, reboot and see if the behavior is affected.
