Cpu Usage Suddenly High And Laptop Running Very Hot
Mar 19, 2012
I use my laptop to dj with 4 nights a week so as you can imagine it is very important to me and a vital part of my income. a few weeks ago i had an issue where i had somehow picked up a virus and it forced me to do a complete format and reinstall of windows. however since then it has been running very hot and cpu usage has gone through the roof.
all drivers and bios are up-to date and the laptop is fully optimised for audio processing.
the specs are as follows:
hp g62 450sa
i3 2.27ghz
8gb ram
60gb ocz vertex ssd (with os on)
500gb 7200rpm hdd in drive bay (music only)
i have read that another complete reinstall may fix the problem, which i am prepared to do.. however onto the next problem, i left a cd walled in a club last week which had my recovery discs in it, when i went back the next week it was gone!!
how to get around or sort this, or is there anywhere that i can download a copy of the install discs. i have spoken with microsoft and they are willing to re-authorise my product key when i re-install.

I think it's only a recent issue... Look at the "Physical Memory" at the bottom. url...As you can see the only program running is NOD32 and Chrome.

I just a complete reinstall of Windows 7. As soon as my laptop started my CPU usgae is jumping between 0% and 100% continuously, with nothing extra running. I literally haven't installed a single program. I took a screenshot of the processes that are running by default, and also my laptop specs.

As the title suggests, my cpu usage is high and the computer is running slow and lagging, ex. itunes skipping, etc. I have deleted programs, ran spyware and antivirus programs, and ended services and applications in msconfig.

I have this HP HDX18 laptop for almost 2.5 years now. It came with Vista 64 bit installed which was later upgraded to 7 Home premium. It worked fine until Jan 2012 when it started slowing down to nothing. I got it checked and cleaned by the tech support for HP(pccare247) and also updated the drivers for sound, display and BIOS. Now the system runs fine until any media played whether offline or online. After that it slows down to nothing and the sound becomes crackling and also with a delay and distortion. The system slow down and the crackling sound does not come at the beginning and when it happens the CPU usage reaches 100% and stays above 90% until that multimedia is turned off. Also, the memory usage reaches 2.7 GB out of 8 GB and never comes below 2.16GB. What I noticed is as soon as I turn the WMPlayer off the CPU usage comes down all of a sudden to 15-20% and after sometime stays between 1-5% but the memory usage never comes down from 2.16, that is the minimum.

I have a Lenovo laptop with Win 7 Pro.
When I leave the laptop on standby, and come back to it after 10 minutes, the fans are blowing loudly. I have a CPU gadget which monitors CPU usage, and I see that right when I resume from standby (move the mouse), CPU usage drops to normal.
At first I thought Security Essentials is doing some scanning or windows is indexing some files, but this happens every time the computer is idle for longer than 10 minutes. I have a suspicion that my laptop could be part of a bot network.

system: inspiron 1420 windows 7 issue: suddenly slow system (cpu usage usually raises to 100% when opening any programs such as a web browser, then dips back down when everything is loaded enough) attempted solutions: anti-virus, malware, anti-spyware programs | chkdsk, sfc /scannow |memory diagnostics | adjusting appearance | using task manager to locate highest cpu usage program (none of these attempts have identified the problem.)my system which is a dell inspiron 1420 windows 7 was recently given a clean install to windows 7 from vista. everything was going fine for about two weeks when suddenly everything started to become sluggish.now when i for instance open a video on Internet, the video will buffer, and while that's happening the audio that plays sounds like a droning machine as if it was being disconnected from the matrix, ha. after the video loads enough, the sounds remains normal. not only that, but the mouse will stop, stutter, freeze, then continue after the video has loaded enough to where the mouse can move again. i'm also experiencing freezes on this machine, and usually when the computer does freeze the mouse pointer disappears.
i have already tried many things, such as running anti-virus, malware, and anti-spyware programs which had all come up with no threats. i've run chkdsk, sfc /scannow (which did in fact find corrupt files, but they were unable to be repaired. if anyone can tell me how to repair those files that cannot be repaired, i would appreciate it), and i've also done memory diagnostics, all of which are not identifying with the problem i'm having.

Under task manager, the ram usage will hit up to 90+% , causing the computer to slow dramatically. Is there any way to track down what program is causing the issue ?I encountered the windows popup saying that "Memory is low, please close xxx program" .So far, the xxx program refers to either NetBeans or Firefox. But I have been using both of these programs without issues for a long time..

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 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.

So I have a Dell Inspirion 1545; One day when I turned it on, it started running extremely slow. It took almost 30 minutes just to boot to password screen, I put in the password and almost took another 30 minutes to get to desktop. Well then it started giving me errors like Dell Dock has failed and Windows (Something) had crashed, I got it up long enough to run Malware Bytes, and CCleaner to fix registry errors but nothing. Now I try to turn it on in normal mode and takes about an hour and thirty minutes to get through everything and to the desktop and thats if the icons decide to show. and if I try to get it into safe mode I get Bad_System_config_Info bsod.I dont really know whats going on, it decided that it was gonna shit out on a random day. The computer is out of warranty and Dell doesnt provide support for it anymore.Its basically un-bootable. There are no system restore points aswell, Repair your computer says it fixes everything but it doesnt.

I just installed windows 7 ultimate sp1 - Like the title says I'm seeing 35% cpu usage with nothing going on. I googled around and ran traces to see which driver it was, turned out the ahci driver was doing it. The USB driver showed similarly high latency but that can be delt with later. Most forums recommend upgrading your drivers but this problem has stayed constant both with microsoft's stock drivers for everything and after running windows built in search for drivers even after I manually grabbed the latest drivers for everything. url...BIOS is up to date4 GB RAM - Corsair something or otherEVGA Geforce 8800 GT450W psu1 DVD burner (sata)5 hard drives (sata) plugged into all but the first sata port because that caused nothing but headaches for me. Update - switching from AHCI to IDE in BIOS fixed the problem.

Whenever I am on my computer My RAM usage is really high. More than I think I could ever use up! When I am not on an App/ Browser my RAM Usage is still above 50-60%. I also think my internet connection has something to do with it because when ever I try to load a video/website it takes more than 10minutes to load a 30 second video!

I have itunes open, mozilla, skype but not doing anything.I've looked at the processes and it seems normal. Firefox is always top.

I don't know if I'm just overthinking/worrying too much about my laptop, but my CPU usage lately seems to idle between 10 and 30% even when I'm not doing much. I've noticed that TeaTimer.exe (Spybots real time protection) seems to hog some of this, and I'm not sure if I need it since I have Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware installed. I've also noticed Firefox to be very laggy but this could well be a seperate issue. Also on startup my computer does seem to take up to five minutes to settle down after logging in.What can I do or what should I be checking?
Here's my system information:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II P340 Dual-Core Processor, AMD64 Family 16 Model 6 Stepping 3

I just reformatted my computer to windows 7.
And i'm kinda disappointed on its performance compared to some reviews i've seen in the web.
It seems that my computer consumes alot of RAM if i'm not mistaken.
Here are my processes and memory usage:
i have 4gb ram installed, but i installed win7 x32bit.
So when i on photoshop or other program that uses alot memory, the ram usage goes to 1.6-1.8 GB.
And during that time i felt some lag.

Lately, the cpu usage on my laptop goes very high without no reason. It sometimes bursts from 10 to 100 percent without any apparent reason. Looking into the task manager and sorting the procceses by cpu usage reveals that no single process uses very much cpu,instead about 10-15 percent is used by multiple services each.I run an Asus laptop k73s with an i5 2430m proccesor, an nvidia gt540m, 4 gigabytes of ram and windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I tried everything from doing registry cleaning and repairing to disk formatting and virus and malware scans. Each attempt to no avail.

I have noticed when Iam downloading at full speed of 1.8MB/s on Wifi or LAN there is high DPC/IR (Deferred Procedure Calls and Interrupt Requests) CPU usage - and when transferring files in or out to USB hdd.. i sometimes get pops & clicks in audio too - the CPU is a Turion 1.8Ghz x2 with 1Mb L2 cache and 2Gb of ram, DPC/IR can only be seen using Resource Monitor in windows 7 (type 'resource monitor' into startsearch) or using Process Explorer software, I dont know much about DPC/IR but as far as Im aware it handles errors or something like that and I was told it should never even go beyond 1% cpu usage - its more noticeable on laptops as these have CPUs that arent as powerfull as desktops and have wifi, it seems to be worse with wifi. it causes latency problems in windows too and things like audio playback get pops & clicks and windows & apps become sluggish.
What brought it too my attention was the CPU fan on my laptop was on all the time and windows seemed to be sluggish when I was downloading even though uTorrent was just using 3-5% CPU, I noticed the total at bottom of Task Manager seemed to be more than what would tally up in the window, it was when i used resource monitor that I seen it.
WiFi @ 1.8MB/s = 10-15% DPC/IR cpu usage
LAN @ 1.8MB/s = 5% DPC/IR cpu usage
Copying Files to USB HDD = 15% DPC/IR cpu usage (this test was odd as it was some time ago i done this one, but I remember it was either IN or OUT that had the increase, probably IN (and OUT was <1%) , I tried SDcard too and got varying results)ive even seen it max at 40% when downloading on wifi and copying a file in/out too usb hard-drive at the same time...

I was using vista x86 up untill windows 7 came out, it was the I decided to go for my first x64 operating system. I have an i7 and 3gb ram.
Ever since I've moved over, games take up a stupid amount of memory, they'll go to 80 - 90%. I recently decided to install Crysis Warhead as I never got round to completing it, last time I played it I was on vista x86 and it ran fine. However now, it takes forever to load and/or freezes because there's no memory left.
I've tried setting the page file at 200 - 1024, 1024 - 1024 and turning it off, none of that makes a difference. I tried increasing it to 4096-4096 just out of curiosity, that managed to load the game, however, while I did have a constant 50-60fps I was lagging really badly and had 91% ram usage.
Am I missing something here, does anyone else have this issue?

until a couple of weeks ago my PC was running perfectly, quickly, etc but one day i turn it on and suddenly EVERYTHING is slow.For example, every time i open a folder in explorer, i have to wait about 30secs for all its contents to load, chrome is being un-usably slow (same with other browsers) even just loading a google search. when i listen to music it often cuts out for several seconds and everything freezes up etcetc but throughout this my CPU will stay very close to 0% (like it should be) i have run virus checks, windows repair, a DDS check (whatever that is) etc and nothing seems out of place. on top of all this now windows is suddenly starting to question if i am using genuine windows 7 (i am) AND have got a few seemingly random BSODs?
SPECS:
->Windows 7 home premium 64bit (service pack 1)
->i5 750 intel CPU @ 2.67GHz
->NVIDIA GeForce 210 graphics card
