Have 61 Processes Running And Getting Performance Spikes?
Feb 8, 2010
Recently when ever I'm playing games or running programs, they suddenly spike up to 100% cpu usage and start lagging very badly.They normally run fine and quite smoothly but then after a while, they suddenly stop working. It usually stops if i leave them alone for some time or if i close the program, but i don't think the application itself has anything to do with it.This happens on many different games and applications alike, but normally only with games, even old ones.I checked my processes and it says i have 61-65 processes running! Isn't this too high? how can i check if those processes are OK? I have HijackThis and can post a log file if needed.

My CPU/RAM gadget shows the cpu at about 60%. The task manager performance graph agrees. I look at the processes in task manager, and order by CPU usage, and the top two or three processes are using 2 or 3%! What gives? Why doesn't the processes window show the processes that are using this 60%of cpu? How do I find out what is using the cpu that much?

On a fresh boot, after my desktop loads but before I launch any browsing/email/internet applications, I notice I have two or three instances of iexplore.exe running in the list of active processes. Does this seem "normal" for Windows 7, or should I be concerned that iexplore.exe is running even when I have not launched IE?
(Windows 7 x64). Browser is IE8, but Firefox & Chrome are also installed.

I just got my computer back from my friend that was fixing my bad memory problem after geeksquad tried to bull**** me and I noticed I had alot of processes running and a bad ram usage. I just clean installed windows a week ago and only added like 3 programs (steam, G1 Live, and other needed stuff.)
When Im downloading a game my internet is slow as sh** and when Im browsing the web my 1000kbps comcast download speed on the game (which is already bad) drops down to 30kbps. Im guessing this is a ram/registry problem. Ive never cleaned the registry.

I have two computers, one computer runs smoothly at a cpu level of around 10%, and has less RAM, hard drive space, and runs more cpu related tasks, it has a duel core 2.4, my other computer, however, runs at 100% all the time, no matter how many processes I kill in tskmgr.exe, it runs incredibly slow, it has a duel core 2.2. I've ran malwarebytes, CCleaner, registry cleaner, defrag, and it still runs at 100%, it didn't used to do this, it's happened for at least two months, but it keeps getting worse.

what is the typical number of processes that should be running in task manager on a typical standard version of Win 7 Home Premium, without any added programs? (Without IE being used)My Dad has a couple of year old HP Pavilion p6680t and it has about 62- 65 processes running before any browser is used. He also has Adobe Flash, Win Live Essentials, and MSE, along with a HP printer.

I have Windows 7, Premium Home Edition. When I typed Ctrl+Alt+Delete, I used to get the Task Manager. Tabs allowed me to select some options, one of which was "processes". Maybe I clicked something that changed things, but now I only get a list of running programs (NOT processes). And I don't have any tabs to select other options,How can I get the running processes list back?

The fan in my laptop hasn't been working for some time and the laptop is running hot. When I checked the temperature of the CPU it shows an average of 80 degrees C when running a few tasks. Task manager shows the CPU running at 100% when I'm only running Firefox and 5 download tasks on IDM. I suppose the slow performance is related to the heat issue but I'm not sure if there has been a permanent damage to the motherboard or CPU.
Besides fixing the fan, is there a need to replace the motherboard+CPU as well?

I recently built a great system. It has the following specs:
Core i5 2500k 3.3GHz
Radeon HD 6790 1GB
8 GB of Corsair C9 kit of memory
PH67S-C43 (B3) motherboard from MSI.
Caviar Black 750gb
Greenpower 1TB
The only problem is, it runs very slowly in some applications such as Firefox and Minecraft. I've installed all drivers listed on the MSI website as well as my GPU drivers. Still no luck. I've installed Steam, microTorrent, Microsoft Security Essentials, Java (x64), Adobe Flash, and Adobe Reader X.

I'm very tired of seeing this message booting me to desktop just to ask me if I want to change the color scheme because it perceives my computer is running slow. Load up Batman AC? 10 minutes in focus changes from said full-screen app to this completely unnecessary 'warning'. Battlefield 3? Same thing. Assassin's Creed? Same thing. Skyrim? Same thing.... I don't need Windows to tell me that my resources are being used when I know they are being used. Am I really going to have to go into Properties and Compatibility mode for every game I play? I have clicked that button so many times yet it continues to show! It specifically says "Keep the current color scheme and don't show this message again" Yet even after clicking said button it still shows...

Recently I've been encountering an issue where I'll be doing minimal tasks such as using safari with less than 4 tabs open. In the background I have photoshop open but not currently doing anything with. As well as aim and MSN and sometimes itunes. All of a sudden the whole thing slows to a crawl and I get the urge to throw it out the window. So i open the task manager and take a look and my CPU is at 100% (physical memory is around 30%). In the task manager i sort it so the highest CPU eating processes are at the top and they continue to jump around. for instance, safari might have 12 then 2 then 15 then 22 etc. I try ending a process that I'm not using and another process just spikes higher. if there is any drop, it's only down to about 92%ish. And it will behave like this until i close everything and start over. I've never really had this problem until recently and the computer isn't that old. I bought it in May 2010. It's a HP G62-144DX with a 2.13GHz Intel Core i3-330M Processor and 8GB of RAM. My windows experience rating is a 4.2 with my processor and memory being a 6.2. According to speedfan, my temps average in the 30s to 50s degrees celsius.

I've noticed while playing Skyrim that my CPU spikes to 100% causing FPS to go down and the computer to lag.
I'm able to verify the CPU load via my G13 display set to the core temp application.
I've not noticed any type of consistency when this happens and by the time I am able to maneuver to the Task Manager to check which process is causing this, it stops.

I've had the HP DV6-3052nr for about a year and a half. My processor is an Intel Core i7, my graphics card is the ATI Mobility Radeon 5650, and it contains 6GB of RAM. A year ago at this time, I was running the game Crysis along with other programs all at once with an accumulated memory usage of 1,500,000. The CPU was at 15% while this was happening. Today, with all other programs closed, I can hardly run Skype, Oovoo, or Minecraft without my CPU spiking to 92% - 100%. The only way for me to solve the lag produced is by restarting my laptop. Why is it that the performance has declined, and aside from formatting, what alternatives do I have to return the performance to what it had once been?

This problem has been plaguing me for so long. Sometimes when I install games or extract games that is in a RAR file, my RAM spike to a point where 94% of the memory is used. The longer the installation of the game or file is, more ram is consumed. Anyone care to enlighten me how did this happen? So far the only way for me to solve it is to reset the whole system since I can't do anything on the task manager.
My PC Specs is quite updated so I doubt it is some hardware problem?
Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.66Ghz
4GB Kingston DDR3 1333 Ram
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
650W Corsair TX PSU
MSI GTX 260

Something is wrong with my Sony Vaio FW series laptop.. I get major FPS spikes in any game I attempt to run (Dragon Nest, Audition), with FPS dipping down to ~10 every five seconds. When I check Task Manager, it's the games that are taking up the most CPU with overall CPU usage at 90%+. This is really strange and abnormal as I had never had any problems with those games taking up CPU and fps spiking until today (they ran fine yesterday).Between yesterday and today.. I used compressed air to clean my laptop's fan, and I visited some movie watching sites (which resulted in some popups appearing). I'm unsure if the problem can be attributed to a virus, but I ran a full scan of Malwarebytes and did a deep clean on Advanced System Care, none of which helped fix the problem. Firefox, Skype, and other applications appear to run as quickly and smoothly as they did before. However, I've gotten three BSODs in the last 30 minutes, and my laptop appears to be overheating: Here is my Hijack This Log : xks.
EDIT: I understand that a system restore will likely solve all problems, but I want to save that as a last resort.
EDIT1: I think the BSODs were a result of me running CPUID HWMonitor to check for the temperatures - each BSOD occurred right after or soon after I ran it. I'm unsure why running that specific program triggers a BSOD, but if I leave it alone my computer appears to be fine (no BSODs so far after I stopped running it).

I got a new laptop (DELL XPS 172nd Generation Intel Core i5-2450M processor) recently and I had it returned for having lag spikes that would happen whenever it felt like. (gaming, videos, Reddit, etc.). Dell sent me a new computer that also has the same problem, lag spikes that give off a noise that you would expect from a transformer.

i am trying to record some game play for a Internet channel and i keep getting lag spikes on 1 game. when ever i play league of legends i always will have a frame rate drop. i usually get around 120-90 fps without recording and 60-40 fps with recording but for some reason there will always be a drop to around 1-10 for about 2 secs.

I've been having trouble with my PC for quite a while now, and have been looking for a fix for a long time. When I'm using my computer every so often I will get random lag spikes, that last for around 2-5 seconds. When it happens everything slows down, and the sound sounds like a broken CD/DVD where it goes all choppy.Recently I was staying at a friends house, where my computer wasn't connected to the internet, and while I was there I didn't have the problem at all, so I think it's something to do with being connected to the internet.

I installed windows 7 RC a few days ago, and every 2-10 seconds it would spike with lag, the mouse would jump and the internet would do the same i would get a consistent low rate and every now and then it would jump to normal.
I found out the problem was with my network card, i had to roll back the driver on my network card for it to work properly.
Now my network card updates itself every now and then and i have to go back and change it again.
I was wondering if anybody else has had similar problems like this, and or found a permanent fix for this.

On occasion my physical memory usage will quickly rise form between 1 to 2 gigs of memory usage to over four until it reaches 98-99% percent of memory usage. I am running on 5 gigs of ram. This problem has even occurred while the computer was essentially idle. When this happens the computer loses almost all functionality. I've tried ending all non-essential processes to alleviate this problem but it makes no difference.

I just installed Windows 7 64 bit and FL Studio 10. Whenever I open up a project in FL studio 10 the CPU spikes to 90%. I am usin an ASIO soundcard in the EMU 1616m and a quadcore CPU. This never happened when I was running FL studio inside XP 32 bit.

Ever since I installed Windows 7 on my PC a few months ago I've been getting consistent ping spikes on basically every game I play, but mostly on this one I'm playing most of the time. My ping will be a solid 20-22 for few minutes (often less and more often) when all of a sudden my ping spikes in the hundreds (150-400). Along with this, sometimes my UDP goes red. This never happened with XP, I'll even have the same game server on beside me with XP and I'll never see ping spikes. I've talked to other people who play the game and they experience the same thing, many of them for this very reason have decided to stick with XP for these particular game(s).Another thing that I've noticed since installing 7 is a delay (no better way to describe it, can't say it's lag since it says my ping is 20?). While on my XP PC 20 ping will feel just like that, 20 ping. On the 7, it feels like 50-70 (while saying 20). The game I play is very dependent on fast reaction times so this is obviously very annoying to me.
