My task manager shows my 'system' resource using 60,996k of memory. The CPU usage is not high (basically absent) and the memory usage stays static at 60,996 regardless of what I do (even after a reboot). I need to know why this is happening! Thanks in advance...
BTW, it's XP home.. fully patched, and it's a very new install.
After installing my new e6600, eVGA 680i mobo and OCZ DDR2 1000 ram today I reformatted my 300gig Maxtor SATA drive, once i got done reformatting I tried to boot into windows but I got the blue screen of death instead saying: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297185&sd=RMVP#appliesto. The error message said to disable bios cache and/or boot into safe mode, both of which had no effect and I am fucking stumped as shit, someone please help me out here, I am so eager to try out my new stuff and it is really pissing me off. EDIT: And I have also already tried reinstalling windows once again, and the I have a MSDN copy so it is before SP1 or SP2 and I think that might be my problem, but I have no clue how to update as of now in this condition.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCame home to a black screen, so i turned it off via power button. tried to turn it back on, got as far as windows xp logo and then it restarted itself. That restart it took me into dos mode saying windows couldn't start because of named a few reasons like new hard/software. Gave the options to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode custom (or something like that), starting windows in the last configuration that worked, or start windows normally.I tried them all, it won't start.It simply keeps rebooting and showing me the same message.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI tried System Restore a week ago, but it didn't work. It ran but at the end I got the error message that it didn't complete and couldn't restore to the earlier point. It displayed the red "X." I deleted all of the restore points and set the amount of store to the maximum and set a new restore point. Still it didn't complete. I also ran Malwarebytes - it couldn't find any issues.I tried it in Safe Mode and it worked - it set the new point and renamed three files - two of them were Norton files, the third I didn't recognize. I set a new point and again it DID NOT COMPLETE - I got the same error message!

It will not go any further. We think that when the fan started racing the user got worried, pulled the power cord and maybe did damage.However Im still working on fixing it. I can boot up into safe mode, I have disabled all non microsoft items in services and all items in start up and I continue to have the same problem, freezing at start up.

I did ctl, alt del and got a look at proceses running its system, not system idle. It runs at 99-97. I look at cpu usage its maxed never moves. i did a back up of my pictures to disc and did a "destructive" windows reinstall from the recovery menu seeing as cheap compaq crap doesnt give me a windows disc so i can do it the old fasioned way. Is the destructive reformat doing a full format. i prefer zero filling a drive with issues like this. what else could make it do this 100% usage thing right out the door when i install windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter starting my pc i noticed what 99% of data in my hard disk has vanished. it used to be only a 1GB free space there and now it shows 38,8 out of 39 GB. I tried system restore in normal and safe mode. .Thorough description of situation:
PC runs on Windows Xp SP2. It has 2 hard drives where the biggest one is paritioned into three drives: one for Windows installation, second was used for installation files of other programs (I kept Program Files folder there) and the alst one was dedicated for data storage. So the problem occured with the second drive. and as a result i do not have most of my programs running.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having a problem with my PC running extremely slow for the past several days and it seems to be related to the process named 'System' when viewing Windows Task Manager. The CPU usage looks like this:

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy new system has an unusually high level of cpu usage after startup. Windows was only installed a week ago and I haven't installed much software on this yet. Today was the first day I got it online and all I did was install the newest windows updates. The only things I've installed in it are nero, omega radeon drivers, videolan media player, winamp, and adobe.I've looked at the hijack log and I don't see anything out of the ordinary. The odd thing is, the cpu usage isn't constant, it ranges from 30%-50% even when nothing is running.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled windows xp pro and now the "system" proccess is always using all free cpu. It's not "system idle proccess" just system.After installing right off the xp pro disk, all i did was install the updates up to and through SP2, my motherboard drivers, video drivers, winamp and AIM. Other than that, nothing else has been done, yet system is still using all free cpu.I checked to make sure all drivers were current.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen CPU usage gets to 100% it will shutdown without notice. I think it may be because I need to run disk clean up, not sure. This computer is old and I fixed it myself, that's why I think running disk cleanup will help, but when i run disk cleanup my usage goes right up to 100%.

i know this has been posted before but none of the solutions have worked for me. i have a toshiba satellite laptop. it started running extremely slow and the cpu usage is at 100% all the time. i reformatted and reinstalled windows xp but that didn't solve the problem. i noticed when i was reinstalling windows xp, it was going slowly as it did before, and i hadn't even started up windows yet. when i would click the next button when installing it would do the same slow lagging thing. i tried everything when i did start windows too. i tried deleting the explorer.exe process and retyping it in
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have windows xp And its running slow , i have just done a system restore, and its still running slow. I have just noticed that In windows task manager,in performance its saying that the cpu usage is 100% when i have nothing running.
View 12 Replies View Relatedthe CPU would peg at 100% on a program launch and drag the machine to ahalt. Once the program was up and running, everything was back tonormal. Keep in mind that this is NOT just a "slow computer" - it wasbrand-new behavior that started for no reason I could discern (I didn'tmake any hardware or software changes before the problem cropped up).I've run a couple of antivirus programs and adware cleaners and they've found nothing. I've used utilities from sysinternals.com to look at what's going on and I can't see anything strange.
I'm having problems simply launching applications. If I attempt to launch an application, it will show up in Task Manager (but not in the UI), but will almost always stop loading at ~5MB in memory (usually from about 4.7 to 5.7MB). Every once in a while, the program will start without a hitch, but it's rare. The one somewhat (but not entirely) consistent thing I've been able to find is that if I kill another program, I can then start the program I was trying to start (again, I have 1GB of RAM in this machine and plenty free, so it's not a memory problem).
I'm scared to try and interpret for my own use. I have 81 processes running and have no idea which ones I can disable and which ones to not. I'm always nervous about messing with that. But, am I right in thinking that disabling something in the MSCONFIG thing at startup won't affect the program??? Can you still get to it? It just won't start up automatically, right? So, could I hurt anything if I disabled alot? So, how could I give you a list of all the processes running? I'm also having a problem with the xp update. I'm always showing that I need to update, but when I do this one part always fails. Here is what it says.
Security Update for Microsoft.net framework, Version 1.1 Service KB928366 didn't update. I'm not sure why, but it won't ever update. Also, in AOL I get an error message constantly which says this: A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to debug. Line:? Error: Object Expected. I have no idea what that means and what or how to debug. I have tried repeatedly to uninstall and reinstall AOL but it keeps happening. Does anyone know what that means.
My CPU Usage always shows 100% and my system is getting very slow although I have not installed any big software and have strong antivirus (symantec) whose definition files are updated .So , why is it happening?
