cpu usage

G'day everyone, Just a quick question. I've noticed that when I leave my pc for some time and the screen savers come on, then the screens go blank (my machine doesn't sleep or hibernate) when I use the pc again I can see that during the time the monitors had turned off, the CPU usage was at...

So, since yesterday evening, I've been having these really strange lock ups. I will be playing/using the computer and then Windows Explorer will lock up- as in, I cannot right click on the Desktop, I cannot open new programs, I cannot close programs. However, for a short time afterwards (1-3...

Hello People! I am not sure how to describe the problem, so i am not even sure how to search around if this would be a common happening. From a day to the other, the computer turned extremely slow. CPU usage is really little even down to 2/3%, hard disk is not doing anything. Obviously no AV...

Okay, I need some help. Usually, I am good with computers, but this time I screwed up. I got a virus on my pc. So far, all it seems to do is take FOREVER to log in, give me a black screen after logging in for 5 minutes, remove SP2 (still in windows 7 SP1) and make the CPU usage 100% (I am...

Unlike everybody else here, I have a different problem with COM Surrogate. I noticed something wasn't right when I got random freeze-ups playing audiosurf which is sensitive to CPU usage. I opened task manager and saw about every 15 seconds, there is a spike in the CPU usage. I checked the...

Hi i'm new here, and im in need of help. For a few weeks now explorer.exe has been misbehaving. It does not do it after bootup but it always starts using 10-15% of my i7-2600 devided over several threads/cores after i have played a game of league of legends. I have tried the folowing: -...

i added an SSD to my computer. not sure if related, but later i started to see the above executible running about 20% of my cpu, causing my cpu temperature to go up, then the computer turns off; not sure if due to hi temp (63 degrees celcius). i have never seen this executible use cpu before...

Hey all. This is my second thread about BSODs, but this time it's for a different computer. My desktop has been bluescreening for over a year or more. For some reason, having a high percentage of CPU usage prevents it from happening most of the time. I have been using this as a workaround...

Help Me I WANT TO USE MY COMPUTER!!! I've had my computer for a while now and am almost OCD with watching my CPU usage, as well as RAM usage. I have 6gigs of RAM. So yesterday out of nowhere my Ram spikes up to 95% from its usual 20% and causes EVERYTHING to slow down to a crawl. It stays there...

Hello - I did search the slow start up topics, but couldn't find anything relating to a power outage. Also, I can't say 100% that this is related to the power outage. I had this same problem a couple months ago after an automatic Windows update. I restored the computer to 2 days prior and...

My Windows 7 start orb doesn't work. It does nothing when you hover over it and you have to press the keyboard button with the windows logo on it twice for the start menu to pop up. Also, every once and a while, at least 5 or more Access Denied windows pop up for no reason. I believe I have a...

Hello all. I have recently aquired a problem with my computer. For some unknown reason my CPU usage is and remains at 100%. It just became a problem about a week ago and I've tried scanning for a virus. That was inconclusive :/ I thought it was a ventilation problem and when I raised my...

Over the past few months I have been getting random “insufficient memory” errors when I run a variety of programs. When the program allows a retry (as, for example, when copying files from one location to another) the retry always works OK. Occurs even with a clean rebuild of Windows 7 and...

Hi, My windows keeps getting stuck regardless of whatever software I am using. Every few minutes it says (NOT RESPONDING) at the top of whatever window that I have open. I checked task manager and there it says CPU Usage and Memory Usage is relatively low so that does not seem to be a problem...
