High CPU Activity

Hi Wizards,

Suddenly the System has shot into a bout of alarming high activity. I have gone through the normal checks for Spyware, Adware, Virus etc. Nothing in those scans. CPU activity around between 50 and 70%, sometimes 100% !
Could you please suggest any remedies.

Thanks in advance - Rista

Your log appears clean, so we'll have to do a bit of fishing here. When you click the processes tab, can you see what is using the CPU?

Please download GetLogXP.zip. Save it to your desktop. If it saves as attachment.php, right click and rename to GetLogXP.zip You may need to enable viewing extensions for known file types to see the zip and php extensions. To do that, open My Computer and click Tools on the menu, then folder options. Click the view tab of the window that opens, uncheck the box to Hide extensions...... and click OK. Now right click the zip and extract the GetLogXP.bat file to your desktop. Double click the file to run it. It will open GetLogXP.txt and place a copy on your desktop. Please post the contents of that log.

 

High Anxiety in CPU

Hi Noahdfear,

Many thanks for your quick response.

Yes, I can see what is going on in the Process Manager, but cannot pinpoint any particular process causing the churning. svchost seems to utilise roughly 32 K, all the rest within reasonable bounds. Roughly 205 MB of memory available.

Here is the log you wanted: (I suppose the one you wanted?)

CPU Turbulences / Fixed

Hi Folks,

I ran a full Virus scan which took 3 long hours and that also didn't find any problems. As suggested by CharlesVar in a thread by Scutter for a similar problem, I deleted the Page File. When restarted I wanted to see if it works in Safe Mode. The high cycles continued and the screen went black and seemed to have hung up me. So I SWITCHED IT OFF and started again and this time I opted for the Normal Start. Still all revved up, it eventually loaded and then just gave up being all heat up and cooled off to its usual humble cool self !!! Thank the Lord Almighty....

Thanks - Rista

 

Good to hear your problem is resolved. Thanks for posting back!
