    Click on the Resource Monitor button, and see what's using the CPU..

    The processes tab can also show CPU% used by each process.

    Thank you guys, it looks all OK now. When I checked this morning everything seems fine, it must have been a minor glitch. Thanks again for the help.

    wmpnetwk cpu issue


    I have same sort of problem, but i can see what is causing the problem - wmpnetwk.exe - i assume that is windows media player networking for streaming? I usually network with my other pc's through my server? If i turn it off it starts back again. I guess i can turn services for it off, but will it make my network drives unavailable?
    Thanks for help.
    I'm an XP guy can ya tell - lol

    Yes it is, and no it will not disable your network - it is *strictly* for sharing and searching for shared media, that's all.

Hello everyone, I've been having a very weird problem recently, in which I BELIEVE is involving high physical memory usage.

This problem began yesterday. I noticed my CPU was at 90C constantly with very high CPU usage (>50%). I had no major programs running. I rebooted several times and the program persisted. 1. I went into safe mode and everything was normal. So this rules out hardware issues. 2. I reformatted and...
Ok, I am literally KILLING myself over this! I installed Windows 7 64Bit over XP around a month ago and it was so good that I recommended it to my brother who was previously on XP too. We got him a copy of the 32bit version as he has only 2gb of memory, and he installed it on his machine....
