Can any of you Guys (or Gals) explain how this is possible?...:p
is there any way you can have negative CPU usage...:sarc:

Cool! Let's have a Top Ten Reasons You Have Negative CPU Usage Contest :D

- Too close to an event horizon?
- Neighbor is sucking your CPU through your wireless network?
- Using a CPU Usage Meter that doesn't work right?

We need some more :p

your cpu is so unfathomably awesome that is uses compressed time and space to preform tasks, instead of the cpu, itself? i want one!

No. You can return a negative value with an improperly configured calculation. Are you playing with WMI repository? What app is showing that?

I think you are playing with us.

hmm i didnt use WMI or even know that you can change your cpu usuage
so this would be a signed float number correct?

you need a portal device to and the right moment to activate to create a anomaly inside your cpu

You can't be serious! :shock:
Click to expand...
yep alot of software is written with so called "undocumented features that can cause errors among other things....;)



as for the real reason why this is happening is because of disk corruption (which is spanning across the disk for some reason...:huh:)
this is why the interrupts are peaked (the OS is retrying and retrying to read a sector and by that time there is another sector to be read and so on...)
although this i cannot explain unless these are the app requesting to be written on to (or it might be too many portals....:p)

Each core shows different 'clock multipliers'...

This doesn't strike me as kosher.
Seems they should be 'ballpark' to each other...

You doin' some overclocking experiments with the hw ?

1 + 1 = 10b,
7 + 7 = 16o,
a + b = 15h.
OK, so you are not playing with us. The negative value is generated from a poorly written calculation drawn from WMI (single core is a good clue here). Because this condition appears to be related to a media file, with the limited data available, I suspect the file was either compressed with a faulty codec, is being read by a faulty codec, or is corrupted.
 
I'm getting confused here - the problem is on the tablet, no?

OMG! 84 processes??! I take it you're running all the out-of-the-box bloatware. I'm a tablet + workstation dude too, but I'm only running 56-58 processes on my Lenovo tablet, which out-of-the-box also shows up with 80+ processes, probably including one that lets you know when you should go to the bathroom ...

I just run the stuff that enables the special buttons, screen rotation, the power manager, plus I use Ritepen instead of the TIP.

Edit: In your system specs some of the entries are flipped between what's in the tablet & the home server ... I take it you didn't somehow embed an ATI HD3200 PCI-E card into your tablet, right? Cause that could really make your CPU flip out :D.

Not useful to this conversation but with all the mention of poor coders I wanted to add that if you really want to get an accurate CPU utilization use Native APIs (yes undocumented). WMI is great for quick scripts but I wouldn't use it for a real-time monitoring software.

Edit: This is the Native API ZwQuerySystemInformation
