Lsass.exe And Svchost.exe Using 100% Of System Resources
May 13, 2007
Hardware: Compaq Presario x1000, Win XP Home SP1, 1.4 Ghz, 512 Ram.
Symptom: Lsass.exe is using about 60%, and svchost.exe is using about 40% (they move around up and down but are always using 100% together). Recently the computer semi died (after the login screen it would blue screen). I repaired to OS (the reinstall option for windows that leaves data and programs intact). Have chkdsk the HD (found and repaired errors), ran a defrag, ran diagnostics on the HD and RAM (all clean), and the computer still moves at a crawl. I've found a lot of articles about LSass.exe causing problems with win 2k domain controllers, but this is not win 2k, is not a domain controller, and is in fact not even on a domain.

Ive read a million topics on this but almost all of them deal with OBVIOUS solutions to the problem. Well I've already updated my OS (newest security patches, service packs, etc...), Antivirus,adware removal...etc... and for about 30mins after a restart, the lsass.exe system process eats all my cpu power. Once its done my system runs like a charm, but those 30min restarts are a waste of time. It is really starting to annoy me. No this is not a virus (according to AVG, McAfee, etc...) problem, or an Adware (spybot,adaware) problem. It is the legitimate system process eating my resources.

When I boot up my pc lsass.exe is eating all of the resources for at least 10 minutes and then it finally drops out and the machine speeds back up.

I've been getting a lot of generic process win32 problems to do with lsass.exe and svchost.exe and im wondering if this has anything to do with it.
In my ZoneAlarm Firewall program control, I have 'Generic Host Process Win32 Services' SVCHOST.exe as a very high trust level. The settings look like this:
Access
Trusted - Yes
Internet - Yes
Server
Trusted - Yes
Internet - No
As for 'LSA (Shell Export Version)' LSASS.exe it also has a very high trust level and the following settings:
Access
Trusted - Yes
Internet - Yes
Server
Trusted - Ask user
Internet - Ask user
Are these settings correctly configured?

This has been going on for awhile. When I start my PC svchost.exe kicks in and uses all the cpu's so I can hardly get any programs to run. I have resorted to opening up the Task Manager and stopping the svchost.exe that is the culprit. Then everything runs fine. I know that the svchost.exe is most likely a Microsoft program (Windows Update and Windows Defender) that you need to run.

There is a process called svchost.exe using up almost 100% of my resources and making the computer almost useless. What is causing this or how do I find out what is causing this problem? I am running Windows 2000 Pro.

Every time I turn on my computer, a background process called "wuauclt.exe" and "svchost.exe" take up all of my systems resources, mainly meaning that the CPU runs at 100% clock speed. I know that the two are related, and that they serve to update my computer with Windows Update. Unfotrunately, as mentioned before, this takes its toll on my PC, and slows it down to a crawl. I have turned off "Automatic Updates" but the process still runs every so often, mainly when I turn on my computer. How do I disable it <b>completely</b>? Furthermore, I'd like it if the only way to install my updates was via the Microsoft /Windows Update site, not via the background process.Concerning the Windows Genuine Advntage WGA tool - How often does this transmit information to Microsoft?

Just bought a pre-owned Dell Inspiron 6000D, running XP. On first power-up, after what appears to be a normal boot-up, it displays a message window headed "lsass.exe System error". The error description says, "When trying to update a password this return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is incorrect." It never asks for a password to be entered, so this is puzzling.

I'm running xp home edition on my dell system. When I tried to boot up, the screen went black and I got the system error message. From there you can only click ok, the system reboots and goes thfough the same process. It also does it in safe mode. I've tried to use "the last known working configuration" from the f8 screen, same thing.I was going to try a repair install, but for some reason I have a xp pro disk, not home edition. Can I do a repair using this disk (it's a dell disk)? Or am i going to have to wipe everything out and install xp pro to get the system to work.

Ok I'm getting this message now saying that something called lsass.exe is causing my pc to just shutdown while I'm right in the middle of something. And, earlier today I deleted some registries by mistake and computer just went haywire. I think for the most part I got them fixed but now pc freezes up and some sites take forever for me to load or certain programs like musicmatch radio and mtv.com.

I just recently upgraded to xp pro fromWindows ME. On windows me, when yu right click on my computer under properties, you can see how much resources the system is using. Where in XP PRO can I see how much resources my system is using. I believe i ran into it by accident but I don't remember where now.

How do you view system resources in Windows XP? Windows Me had a resource meter. I can't find that in XP. The Help system did not offer any help. Doesn't Microsoft have a resource meter for XP? If so, where is it?

Whenever I pop in a CD, my computer freezes over, and if I happen to get into the Windows Task Manager screen, it tells me that the System Idle Process is using 99 of my computer. What is happening here? This also happens when I leave the computer on for too long

When I try to put my system in hibernation, I frequently get the message "insufficient system resources exist to complete this API". My only alternative is to kill the power to the computer. I have 2.5GB of RAM and more than 35GB of unused space on drive C:. I have recently defragmented the C: drive and I have used drive cleanup

Have"Iomega Automatic Backup Pro Software" and the Iomega 80gb usb external hard drive This software works great for backing up data The only way I can get it to work for a complete system restore on my C/Drive is in safe mode! Tried it on another computer had same problem. One of the computers has Windows Xp Pro (media adtion) the other windows XP home.The Windows Pro is HP that has the recovery backup on seperate partion D/Drive , installed as fat32,. Normal system is on C/drive . I can do a back up the on the D/drive Fat32 but not the C/drive which is NTFS. This appears to be great software very simple to use nothing like Ghost 2003 . only problem it doesn't work for doing a complete system backup. (The reason I bought it) Was wondering if anyone has used this software and had similar difficulties ? Or if anyone has any idea what could be causing the problem?

How can I stop some processes from running when I start up Windows and how do I know which ones are critical and which ones aren't. The image names don't make much sense to me.

I have been quite happily using my laptop without any probblems for the past 4-5 months. Recently howver I have been getting a pop up info bubble informing me that my system rosources are running low.I have around 20G free on the hard drive, have run various spyware and virus checks all to no avail.I have also ran registry cleaners and fixers, but again the problem persists!I have normally only got Yahoo Messenger and Internet explorer running before the message pops up, and I have also recently noticed that my laptop has started to slow down a hell of a lot.I have tried everything that I can think of what with my rather limited knowledge so thought that I would ask the experts.

Well, it appears that I am having a common problem: I seem to be running out of system resources on a regular basis. I have a Dell Latitude D531, Turion 64 X2 mobile TL-60 2 GHz, with 1.87 GB of RAM.I mainly use outlook (with a several hundred GB .PST file), firefox 3.5.1 with google toolbar and IE tab add-ons, the newest version of foxit and a proprietary office-based software simultaneously.About three months ago, I recollect seeing a distinct performance lag with the computer and started to run out of system resources on a regular basis. Programs wouldn't launch without a message (or sometimes a system resource message appeared) and running apps would crash after hanging. When this starts to happen, I can close all of my applications and still see hang-ups and apps crash.
I archived my PST, run fewer apps at once, restored XP, cleared up HD space and run several different anti-virus/malware/adware programs with limited success. I have also attempted to remove as many non-essential applications, in case of a conflict that I was unaware of. At this point, I think the problem is software-based but beyond my comprehension.

my computer is running at 100% CPU almost all the time, erratically. I am SO frustrated-- this has happened to me twice before, and I could not figure it out, so I just reinstalled fresh copies of Windows each time.It runs fine for a while, then all of a sudden this same problem comes back. I am sick of having to reinstall all of my programs, and was hoping that maybe someone else was having a similar problem so I wouldn't have to reinstall everything again.

When I start my computer (windows xp), before the "signing in" screen comes up this error message shows up:
lsass.exe - system error insufficient system resources exist to complete the API
I know that there is not enough free disk space, but I cannot access my drives to free up some space. Safe mode and Debug mode do not work either

I went to bed 2 nights ago with a statistical program running on my computer. I woke up the next day to find a black screen with a small window with an error message. It said: "lsass.exe - System Error" "Object Name not found." When I click OK, the computer tries to restart.it shuts down, but then when trying to reboot it comes back to the black screen with the error message.

The comp's CPU usage is almost always running at 100%. I can see this in the task manager and the fans always seem to be running on overdrive (very loud). Sometimes it'll calm down and usage will run at a normal level but this is only for a short time and then it jumps back up and fans as well. I thought at first it might be my AVG antivirus but i've removed and still have the same problem.

I first noticed my computer slowing down dramatically. Then I noticed that my windows updates were not installing. Spent two weeks with windows update helpers and could not get them to install. Kept getting the message "Insufficiet system resources exist to complete the request". I have tried to clean up my computer, deleting temp files, histories, unused programs and they still will not load. On some of the attempts to delete old programs I do not use, I would get the same message and the program would not delete. Even bought System Mechanic 8.5 tried to install it and it won't install. Tried to install everything in safe mode, but they will not install

I have an Acer TravelMate 2303LC laptop. Yesterday I realised I was out of space on the C: drive (6MB I think) and was planning to delete/move files to free up space tonight. However after switching it on today it comes up with the lsass.exe system error - 'insufficient system resources exist to complete the API'. It only offers the choice of OK and when you click this it restarts and comes up with the same error again, and you can repeat this forever
