![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: cpu running at 100% Is he running anti-virus ? Quite a few of them are very good at running the processor at 100% Take a look in the task manager and find out which task is hogging the processor. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Re: cpu running at 100% Strange, System Idle usually doesn't contribute towards the graph or processor load. It System idle is 50% then I would expect the processor to be only 50% busy. Task manager using 50% is an indication of something seriously wrong in Kernel mode. Very likely a driver is sitting in a loop or something similar. This could be down to all kinds of problems from damaged drivers to mis-configured or spurious interrupts. |
