cpu usage stock at 100% system slowing HELP!!!

[noob1114]

what should i do???

 

[Bill2]

Bring up task manager, then click on processes tab, then CPU tab till the items are arranged in descending order of cpu usage. Post a snipshot.

a few moments ago the sidebar.exe reach 62 but i wasn't able to print screen it

 

[Bill2]

Did you click on Show processes from all users? Because, the sidebar is consuming 15% and the task manager 3% while total usage is 44%, so there are some more processes involved. Let us see those.

For the sidebar issue, you'll need to trim down your gadgets lineup.

i didn't click it sorry ... now here it is

 

[Bill2]

The main culprits are windows search indexing and chrome apart from sidebar. Try disabling "Windows search" in services. Heres a walkthrough.

Disable Search Indexing In Windows 7

For sidebar, as I already said you need to trim windows gadgets, if you dont actively use them and they are just there by default, you can either trim them or disable it in the startup tab of msconfig.

For chrome, try tinkering with addons, or uninstall and reinstall, or heck try a different browser. Also check in chrome forums for excessive cpu use issues.

tnx I'll sure to check back here after I try everything )

It is not Windows Search and it is not Chrome or the Sidebar. If you look closely at "Services" Iphlpsvc is using 50% of the CPU. I assume, since you don't have it listed, that you have a dual core process. In these cases 50% would be one core fully utilized.

i tried what bill2 said and still my cpu usage is at 100 ... this is what my processes look like after I did what I was told ... any other suggestions?

 

[cluberti]

It would be beneficial, at this point, to download and run Process Explorer from sysinternals. This will give you far more information, although I think this still could be search indexing. Get Process Explorer running, and when you have an instance of high CPU, sort by CPU and see what shows up. Also, do file > save as, and save the file out as a .txt file and upload it here along with the screenshot.

 

[logicearth]

It is not Search Indexing *sigh...*

 

[cluberti]

Ah, I missed iphlpsvc. On a client, it doesn't make as much sense as it would on a server, but getting a log of the service doesn't seem too hard.

cluberti, sir I still did what you ask for ... here they are

 

[cluberti]

So, an svchost.exe process, probably iphlpsvc (with a child of taskeng.exe...? What scheduled task, I wonder?) and Google Chrome are taking up almost all of the CPU time you see. So, next question - what are you doing in Chrome at the time?

 

[dthomas101]

still having issues?

 

[noob1114]

i was using FB at that time I think ..

dthomas yes got suggestions???

 

[dthomas101]

you know i am not as technical as some of these people and this is just a sugestion but i fixed my neighbors computer that was doing this and it was just a simple thing of the printer was spooling there was a document that didnt print. if you have any printers connected you might want to see if there are any documents waiting to print and delete them. again this may have nothing what so ever to do with it but then again.

 

[noob1114]

nah I'm not connect to any printer or any other hardware just my laptop and power supply
