CPU Usage 50 Percent All The Time
Feb 8, 2011
My computer is running all the time over 50%. AMD 4x, W764, 2x hd 1 tb, ram 8 gb. MS Office, CS5, acrobat, pinnacle, etc. I have Avast and MS Defender. I have made twice online scanning with Fsecure and AVG. I have made weekly scanning with System Mechanic, CCleaner, Adware and Spybot. Nothing serious found ever.This problem came when I changed the system hd (C:) 40 Gb -> 1000 Gb and reinstalled W7. Now the Hd (C:) runs all the time, but what? I stopped all Adobe programs (Photoshop / Acrobat) and this decreased cpu usage to about 40-60%. When only 2 services was running (Avast and CatalystContrCentr) cpu runs still too much 10-30%. I made a repair W7 installation, but nothing better.

Some days ago I noticed after a couple of minutes I start mi PC, my CPU usage goes to a constant 100% , so I checked for viruses and such but MSE gave me nothing and neither Malwarebytes. Here's the weird thing, I checked the Task Manager to see witch process was causing this and it's always a different process (Sometimes MsMpEng.exe, sometimes dwm.exe and even taskmgr.exe itself) so I started killing processes like a maniac leaving just the few essential ones but nothing changed. I also stopped all the services with a delayed start, since the problem starts after a couple of minutes but the problem was still there. My system restore is disabled.

Computer has been running slow, so this is what I come across: the Memory is Pegged at almost 100% usage. I've got 4 gigs and this is what it looks like right after startup. I also went into Norton and checked it and apparently my Ram has been like this almost for a month. (I got an SSD and did a clean install and it appears to have run ok for a few days and then you can see its pegged out.

When idle, my cpu usage is around 20%, which is allot more than it should be in my opinion. Whenever I start a game, Battlefield : Bad Company 2 which is the game I've been playing allot lately, my cpu usage doesnt come down from the 90's %. It just stays there and it often goes to 99% and stays there, once again. I've been running the game at a 20 fps average. When I could run games like far cry 2, cod mw , nfs shift and so on with settings on high with an average of 40 fps.

I've reinstall my Windows 7. But now i don't know the reason why my CPU always show that 100% CPU, even when starting! I've found that in window task manager there are three processes: cmd.exe, cmd.exe*32 and again,cmd.exe, (I don't run them) and if I end them CPU usage will be normal.

I have an HP G62 laptop and it has been running wonderfully for a year, it is a farely new computer. Then last week it was been running terrible slow due to the physical memory being almost 95% used. I have an i5 processor and 3GB of RAM and all i use this for is for school, I have all microsoft tools (word, powerpoint, etc.) and I don't game on this computer. I have been deleting unnecessary programs and defragmenting but it hasn't seemed to change anything. I have Norton 360 and i dont think I have a virus, or maybe i do??? My computer takes extremely long amounts of time to open internet explorer, itunes, or anything.

I have just recently upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Home Premium x64 from Vista Home Premium x64 using the Toshiba Windows 7 Laptop Upgrade. I've actually had the choice to upgrade ever since I got the disk around two months ago, but only now did I have enough time to spare to upgrade the system. Anyway, after upgrading to Windows 7, I noticed that my system was noticeably slower than usual. I could open several tabs on Chrome while running other programs on Vista and I would barely lag.
Now, I'm having problems only with a few programs running. I also noticed that my CPU usage was stuck at 100% and it's not going down or anything. My laptop isn't as slow as a rock right now, but something should be causing the processors to be at a constant 100%. My RAM usage is normal. 4 Gigs being used at around 50% right now. I'm just worried that maybe some programs that I had with Vista are slowing down the computer, but I was sure to uninstall or update any incompatible software too.
I'm running on a Core 2 Duo T6500 (2.1Ghz) Processor with 4.00 Gb of RAM. My laptop is around six months old right now.

I have win 7 64 bit and have noticed that once my PC is active for more than a few days, the idle memory usage goes up dramatically. See pic, even with only idle processes, i am using 49% of 4gb ram. When i resart my PC, idle memory usage goes down to around 25%, which is a much more sane number. I've tried using a memory cleaning program called "CleanMem", but it doesn't seem to do anything.....

In all browsers this plug-in is running at extremely high percentages and slowing down my whole computer. Videos are all playing very slow and choppy as well.

I have two hard drive in my computer, one I use for blu ray movies and storage. Lately, when I access the movies folder on the hard drive, the green loading bar will start loading and my memory usage goes up to 98%, why is this happening all of a sudden, it renders my computer useless for about a minute or two.

My netbook will bog down horribly. Rebooting clears things up - but only temporarily. This is a Toshiba NB505 Netbook running Windows 7 Starter 32-bit. Below are screen shots of task manager and msconfig.

I have a problem with OpenAL. If I start an application using OAL, the CPU-usage rises to 100% and the application crashes. Even the "OpenAL Audiodevice Enumeration" have got this problem.

I recently installed some new hardware into my computer.
Specs:
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4
i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz
HyperX DDR3 1600
2x HD5870s
PC P&C 750W PSU
Crucial M4 64GB SSD (for my OS)
Everything went fine, computer performs top notch. But I'm having several issues (note, these issues happened BEFORE the CPU overclock also, so that isn't the problem).
1. Randomly (doesn't happen often), my computer will seem to lose internet connection. I'm hard wired right to my Linksys E3000, and it says that I'm connected, but no internet sites will load. Also, I cannot open the "network and sharing center". It just won't let me click on the icon in the task bar. And my CPU usage hovers around 25-30% when this happens. I downloaded and installed Process Explorer to see what the culprit was, and I noticed that of the 30% CPU usage, "System Idle Process" was taking up 75% of said CPU usage. It doesn't happen often at all, and restarting clears the problem up. But even though this SSD is lightning fast.
2. Smaller problem, but sometimes when I want to shutdown or restart, my computer just wont. It will sit at the "shutting down" screen forever and will basically do nothing, like there is a process in the background preventing it from doing its thing.

I have the same problem on my HP laptop, suddenly all system freezes and I cannot do anything except hold shut down button. I have monitored my CPU performance on startup and it goes crazy when my avast anti-virus is updating almost about 70% of cpu usage.
Technical details: Celeron Dual-Core CPU T3100 @ 1.90 GHz, 3gb ram, Mobile intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
I haven't done anything with programs, have run ccleaner few times, also Disk Clean up and defragmenter. Scanned with the same avast scanner and Trend Micro House call, everything was fine. But never done any cleaning in 'fan' region.

I have 6GB of ram installed on windows 7 64-bit ultimate. For some reason I'm noticing that the usage will rise past 50%, but I am unable to find all of the used resources. From what I found, I'm using roughly 3.2GB of RAM when I add up all the memory usage under the processes tab.

I've attached the HJT txt file. Mod Edit: Removed HJT log, malware tool not used in this forum and stated issues seem to be non-malware-related ~ Hamluis.I've noticed that there are always multiple chrome.exe applications running. Also, the moment I start itunes, the apsdaemon program runs and the useage shoots to 100% until I close it. The laptop I have is a quadcore, 4gig ram fairly new comp. It just shouldn't be running this slow and being bogged down like this.

I am looking for a program which can effectively monitor the time a user spends on a computer, perhaps by looking at keystrokes/mouse movements, or something else...either way, I'd like to be able to compare the usage time on several computers. If I could monitor these times remotely, that would be great, but it is not necessary. It would also be great if rather than just saying "user x spend y time on the computer today", it would log it, so say between what times the user was active.

I'm looking for a powerful software that will limit my own computer usage, of course on an administrator account. For example let's say from now until one month later I limit computer usage for one hour a day, since I decide and confirm my decision to the software it will be impossible to change my mind under any circumstances, until the time limit has expired. I know how to fix computer time. But I cannot find this software!!!!!! ALL software's are made for parental control (don't word on administrator account or changed easily) but I could find no program to limit computer addiction!

I am having a problem with my laptop that started a bit over a week ago. The CPU usage is very high, most of the time. I have tried a variety of things from updates to Windows and drivers, to security scans from various programs, yet the problem remains.
Basic info:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 32 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6570 @ 2.10GHz, x64 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10
Processor Count: 2
RAM: 1912 Mb
Graphics Card: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, 828 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 230364 MB, Free - 114501 MB;
Motherboard: TOSHIBA, NBWAA
Antivirus: None
I uninstalled MSE earlier to see if that was the cause, but it was not, hence no antivirus protection. Additionally, I installed Process Explorer to have a better idea of the cause. A large part that takes up much of the CPU is the svchost.exe-taskeng.exe-NDSTray.exe-CFSwMgr.exe process. I can easily post a HiJack this log or screen caps of Task Manager or Process Explorer.

I'm having this for quite some time now, physical memory usage goes up (especially when using firefox/bitcomet - both of which are the highest consumers of memory on my taskbar-around 200-500MB of RAM). shutting them down will only free a small amount of the memory and the rest still counts as taken. at first i thought it was a bitcomet only thing: Bitcomet hogging memory - Comet Forums it looks like a memory leak since the process won't free the memory i also read on google that using a processor with "NUMA" based memory design doesn't go well with windows 7 (which is the case here), therefore i tried to download an attached hotfix which apparently did not match my machine (Windows6.1-KB2155311-x64) here are my specs:
cpu: intel i7 860
gpu: geforce 560 ti
8GB 1333MHZ of RAM
tons of free hd space

I have an Intel I5 Ivy Bridge CPU, Win 7 64-bit Home Premium OS, 16Gb RAM and Nvidia GTX 550 TI graphics board with 1 Gb DDR5 memory. I run two real-time stock charting/trading programs on two monitors.
My objectives are to improve screen re-draw time and to decrease Windows' hard disk access. While there are other alternatives to consider, I'd like to invite the community to offer thoughts on two questions:
1. How to increase Window's RAM usage for paging/caching : The System Monitoring tools are showing that RAM usage is only about 30% of the 16Gb installed while Windows' hard drive caching is continuously busy. If there is a tweak to increase RAM usage, I would expand RAM memory to 32Gb.
2. Otherwise, I might install a 120 Gb Solid State Drive. Then, the question is whether using the SSD for the OS or as the cache drive as per Intel Rapid Storage

When I first boot up the machine and start using it (win 7 ultimate 64bit) the memory usage stays arround 40%. If I keep using it, the memory usage will slowly increase until it reaches 99%. If I boot up the machine and just leave it there for a couple of hours, the same happens.I try to restart (via windows), it logs off, shuts down the system, the coolers keep spinning, the motherboard lights are still on, but it doesn't boot up again. It remains like that. I have to restart via reset button or power button.

I have an issue with my mouse, when I move it, it causes a CPU spike, in resource monitor, it calls the spike "system interrupt". I recently installed windows 7 and it has been this way since the beginning. Interestingly, when I click and drag, it becomes around 100% cpu usage. My idle cpu is 1-3%.

Out of nothing my CPU run at 100% and explorer was using 98%. I had to end task my explorer each time I try to delete files from desktop or when I refresh my desktop. I tried few ways including clean reboot (only system files running), clear temp data using ccleaner, scan using online scanner and vundofix (both didn't found any virus/trojan).
