I've noticed WmiPrvSE.exe eating up a ton of my cpu, i know i need to re-paste my cpu but it shouldn't be idling this hot or using 50%+ idling. It is in the system32 folder and it isn't a virus from what i can see. [code]

View 5 Replies View Relatedjust wondering if anyone having problems here with any adapter, or hardware not installed or installed with a correct (Windows 7) driver, and seen the cpu usage spike up and identify it as the wmiprvse.exe spiking up and down about?
this is causing an abnormal usuage on both the cores even while "idle"... talking in the ranges of 35% and higher, got so bad after a long period today i ended up rebooting. I know in my case its this driver i am trying to use, but using it is affecting the cpu hardcore it seems. I have no other hardware that i didnt automatically install with a 7 driver on this pc, audio included.
never had this thing consuming so much in the past few years. It came out of nowhere and just recently. restarted computer and that worked for about an hour and it started up again. about 60-70% on 1 core. It also seems to be doing something funky with my temps or my fans cause when it starts up despite only doing that much on 1 core my H80 starts getting so loud i can hear it like no tomorrow.
Also, I've notice my cpu keeps throttling the cpu ratio a lot. This is getting kind of annoying it goes from 1600-4500 randomly more so when this thing is running. I turned of turbo boost as well in my bios so what else could be doing this?
I had svchost eating into my CPU usage a lot for the past month. I usually got by by killing the process (I shouldn't have had, should I? =X). Recently, this other service wmiprvse has joined svchost in wreaking havoc in my computer.
I've read some other similar forum posts, but the solutions seemed to be vary from case to case. My comp specs follow:

While doing nothing the cpu will jump to 100%. chk msconfig and hide ms apps and nothing shows up. try to restart pc and scrn tells me i have a bkground pgm running (no more info) and does a forced restart. after restart ms sec essentials will not start then all of a sudden pc shuts off. restart in safe mode and no probs. restart again and pc running fine for now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk i installed Windows 7 but i did a reformat of vista and removed the trash and bloatware that came with my computer. Before i did this my vista would run at 1.4 to 1.7 gigs of ram. I did what i said and upgraded to Windows 7 and noticed that i was running at 740mb or ram and i was very happy. But after being on for a couple of minutes my ram usage went from 740mb to 2.2 gigs.
I looked at what was eating it up and i have 2 svhost that are eating massive amounts. But not everytime i boot only about 80% of the time. I never had this with vista it was a constant 1.4 to 1.7 unless i was gaming.
I am running Windows 7 64bit. From time to time (every few days), I get something eating all my available memory (going from 2 GB to 12 GB in a few minutes). I cannot pinpoint the process doing this. And then 20 minutes later the memory goes back to normal. I noticed that the second process eating the most memory (svchost.exe (secsvcs)) is gone right after that.
View 7 Replies View RelatedToday I had a power cut whilst using my PC, since then certain keys don't work. These are 1-6, r and a couple of others I can't remember (sorry). The 1-6 also doesn't work from the numpad.I have tried a different keyboard and the on-screen keyboard, both give the same result.But here's the interesting part, if I login as my admin user on the same machine, all keys work fine.So it appears to be an issue with my Limited user account. I've tried changing my keyboard region settings to US, but I had the same issue. I can't perform a system restore as I don't have it running and I can't restore from my backup as I've discovered it hasn't been backing up for the last few months
One solution would be to create a new limited user account, but in the past after a re-install it takes me a couple of weeks to get my user account configured exactly the way I like it. All those minor config changes you forget about in various applications. So I'm hoping their's an easier way.Does anyone know how I can reset the keyboard key bindings for my user account, or any other suggestions. I'm at a complete loss here, never come across this before.
I am running Windows 7, 64bit with 12 GB of RAM. My memory usage is usually around 2-3 GB. About once a day, Windows Defender eats all my memory. For a few minutes the computer is slow (even if running i7-980) then Defender releases the memory and everything is back to normal. I know it's Windows Defender because as soon as I see memory going high, if I stop the Windows Defender service, the memory goes right back to normal.
Is there anything I can do except disabling the service?
I access my Internet via a wireless USB Modem Stick. Living in South Africa, Internet usage is sky high. I would like to know how to monitor my Internet usage. I.ow, which precise programs are running stealthily and eating up my data. I can actually see from my Modem Interface how the data is consumed.I would also like to know How do I use Wireshark to capture wireless traffic? Do I require an add-on card to do this?
