Using 2.2 GB Of RAM While Idling?
Jun 7, 2011I just installed 8 GB of RAM into my rig and checked the task manager and it says I use around 2.2 GB of memory while idling. Is this normal?

BSOD While PC Was Idling
May 29, 2012So after upgrading my PC (apart from the graphics card) all was well until today, a good 2 weeks after doing so, I suddenly get a BSOD after I thought everything was fixed. Codes and stuff attached, system spec in my profile. I made sure to update all my chipst/USB/etc drivers the second I put the PC together. [code] I did notice that somehow my Catalyst Control Center somehow updated itself to 12.4 from 12.3 ...don't know if that has anything to do with it. Also it's been unnaturally warm for England...GPU is cacking itself at around 53 degrees C, dunno if that's bad or normal?

HP Pavilion Dv7 Using 100% CPU Idling At Desktop?
Jul 22, 2012I've had my dv7 for nearly two years, and it has worked well the entire time. Recently within the last month, when preforming normal tasks like browsing the web or watching videos, the CPU usage would spike to 100% and stay there, rendering the computer useless. Every time this happens I would shut it down and wait a full day. This allowed for about 15 minutes of smooth running time before another spike.I have run CCleaner, two full system scans using Norton 360 to no avail, updated all BIOS, cleaned out the fan and heatsink, and checked the power settings to see if the processor had been changed to use a minimum 100%.

Processor: Intel i5 M 460 @ 2.53 GHz

View 9 Replies View RelatedProcessor Idling High - No Programs Running
Feb 19, 2013My laptop kept shutting off on me within 5 minutes of use about a month ago due to overheating. I took the laptop apart and noticed the fan wasn't working so I ordered a new one and installed it. Now the fans working great and the computer runs, however, the processor seems to be idling high. It seems to constantly increase processor usage even when no programs are running and back again to a base line in a constant pattern as can be seen from the attached cpu usage chart. I have disabled pretty much everything from starting on windows start up and have scanned for viruses and defragged my disk but to no avail. My laptop has a core i3 processor.

Oct 17, 2012My PC has been stable since I built it 3 months ago. However recently I have been getting BSODs that only identify the kernel as the application that caused the issue. They state SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION and 0X00000003B as further information. After some searching I realized these are too general to pin down the issue without some experts looking at the minidump files.The only thing I can think of that's different now than before is that before I didn't have Win 7 SP 1 (I had one of those borked installations, had to do the full repair install and now I have windows 7 sp1 installed)
View 3 Replies View RelatedRandom BSODs After Putting Computer To Sleep Or Idling?
Jan 7, 2012I bought an ASUS G73JH gaming laptop 2 months ago and just started getting this random, inexplicable error. It's happened twice this last week and I have lost a considerable amount of unsaved work because of it. What happened the first time was I put my laptop to sleep in order to do something else and when I came back it had shut down by itself. After booting it back up the first thing that was displayed was the window in the images above. I don't know if my computer actually had a BSOD before it shut down because I was not there to see what happened. Second time this happened, I just left my computer at idle without putting it to sleep and left the room. My laptop is configured to go to screensaver after 10 minutes and sleep after 15. When I came back this time, my power button was not blinking, meaning the computer was not asleep, but the monitor had shut off and could not be turned back on with the monitor on/off toggle.
I had to manually restart the computer by holding the power button, and when it booted back up again the same window appeared. Yet again, I don't know if my computer actually had a BSOD because this time the monitor was turned off. P.S. My system specs are in the sig below and I've attached the requisite .zip file. No components are overclocked or otherwise modified at the hardware or software level.
Black BSOD, Dxgkrnl.sys+5d000 While PC Is In Any Application Or Idling?
Dec 15, 2012It started about a month ago with dxgkrnl.sys+5d000 causing a black BSOD, would just randomly reset my system (all fans 100% exhaust for a few seconds, then boot back up)
My specs:
Intel i5 3570k @ 4.2ghz using MSI OC Turbo Genie. (With corsair H80 cooler)
8GB of 2133mhz G.Skill ram
MSI Z77A-GD65 Motherboard
Gigabyte Windforce x3 GTX 670
850W OCZ ZX 80+ Gold PSU
Firstly when this was happening, it only happened inside games... at 99% GPU usage. So after testing the drivers, reinstalling the OS, running memtest, reseating ram, changing PCI-E slots, changing my power extender lead from a cheap 10bar to an expensive 4bar plug, making sure both CPU and GPU temps don't go above 60c... I was out of ideas and sent the GPU back for RMA. RMA was accepted as faulty, a new one was sent out 3 days later, put it in... had some issues with PEG in the BIOS, but got it sorted and a video link was picked up. Worked fine for the last week, now the same exact problem is back.However this time it just happens randomly, even when I'm idling. Done more stress testing on the GPU, did 10hours at 99% usage under furmark with no problems. I'm sceptical about it being another GPU issue due to the data I've gathered.However, the system works fine with onboard graphics... nothing crashes randomly. I've exhausted all tests to no avail, I'm thinking the motherboard is faulty?
Disabling The "locked" Screen After Idling?
May 1, 2009How can I disable the "locked" screen when I return to my computer (after idling for a while) ? I thought I had downloaded 7100 (and burned it to a disk) but after installing it, it was actually 7077. When I had the 7000 installed I didn't have this problem. I just touch the keyboard and my desktop would show again.
