processor usage at 50% or more...

[atifsh]

since iv joined a domain because of new internet signup, everythen and now my cpu goes upto 50% or 60% without doing anything, and i cant see anything in task manager, no process shows using cpu that much, excluding system idle process that obviously always shows 90%+.

when it happens i cant restart i cant shutdown it takes ages so i just power it off and then back on.

it happened 3 times in 24 hrs.

I have the same problem, mine jumps to 90%, it doesnt happen as often though. More like weekly, i've ran through all the perfomance setting too so I dont know whats causing it.

Just a thought, could your system be doing a backup. You know a restore point?

[atifsh]

if thats the case its a very long backup time... my full acronis backup takes like 5 to 6 mins.also i dont use system restore,
no buddy that isnt the case.

Your operating system (XP) creates automatic restore points, unless you have completely turned off system restore, and are running Acronis at 100%



I would reboot more often, defrag more often, and use a good registry cleaner on your registry and hard drive. Also, remove any unecessary msconfig start-ups, this will increase your performance and resources.

yes i hav turned off sys restore, dont use it. acronis dont go 100% and i do manual backups frm startup not frm windows. uses startup zone f11 thingy

i just wish i could see the process that do this as i cant see this process in task manager using 50% cpu.

Try process explorer from my signature. It gives a very good picture of what your CPU is doing.

[techreactor]

something is definitely using the processor so do as suggested and then disable that service.

[atifsh]

while im gettin process explorer... here what happend again this afternoon

computer was just downloding some file thats it nothin more and when it completed i try to open it and found my cpu again at 50% no body was using my pc for last 5 hrs or so, i left it fine in the morning... only thing i can see is winlogon at 30%, and i cannot shutdown or restart. so again i forsed it to shutdown

Isn't winlogon used for remote desktop? I have it blocked in my firewall just to be safe..

[atifsh]

[NightTran]

I always monitor my Window task manager and see which one take how much CPU.... usually during burning

[atifsh]
