System running at 99% at all times

[Guest Ramesh]

HI,

 

In the task manager, there is a system process utilising 99% of CPU at all

times. I have noticed this after I updated to SP3, not sure if that was the

starting point.

 

Is there any way to sort this out? The system has come to a grinding speed.

At times the screen just goes blank while working and takes 5-10 seconds to

get back (and continues as normal)

 

Thanks for any inputs.

Ramesh

Hi friend,

 

I was also sufferer of this problem from the past 7months. I searched

all the internet many times, but didn't get the solution. Everyone

suggest for the antivirus update, which is always latest in my system.

2days back I figured out a solution for this(which works for me).

 

What I tried:

1. I used firefox instead of IE(It partially worked.)

2. Some forum said it is because of system is probing for the new

devices. So I disabled my "bluetooth" devices..--It didn't helped me.

3. I did full system scan using latest symantic anti-virus --no use in

this case.

4. I was working offline, without internet. --It is partially worked,

that means 60% of the time I was allowed to work. but I can't work

much without internet. If I connect to internet system.exe is eating

the processor.

5. I figured out the trend which the system.exe is eating the

processor power. The trend in my system is every 5-6min system.exe is

activating and consuming the processor power. I was observing it by

constantly watching the processor usage with task manager, and

whenever it starts, I stop all my work and wait for 2min. It slowly

releases the processor usage, once the processor is become idle, I

used to resume my work. It worked. But you can work for only 65% of

the time, and you need lot of patience (which I already have, that's y

I worked like this for some time.)

 

Solution:

1. Kill the process "explorer.exe" from task manager. And work without

the explorer. we can create any task from the task manager. Like

taskmanager-->newTask-->explorer.exe.

Kill the explorer.exe whenever you don't need it. All my work involved

either in browser or any application. So, I work without the explorer.

Probably. But first it would be helpful to know the name of the process.

:-)

 

Also, what is the make and model of your PC? What kind of CPU does it

have?

And that process name is WHAT?

 

Might it be "System Idle Process"?

What's the name of that 99% process? It's not "System Idle Process,"

is it?

 

If it is, note that that's the name for the system not doing anything,

and is there to make the total add up to 100%. It's not any problem at

all.

Re: System running at 99% at all times

 

If the process is System Idle Process, I d be only too happy. Why would I

be wasting your time then???

 

This is an entry just above the last one, ie. System Idle Process. Under

the column Imagename, it simply says System. That s it. I suppose it must

be system.exe. All the other processes show an .exe but this one doesnt.

 

I wonder if this helps in any way.. I now find that when I restart, the

system is normal.. this System thing shows 0% and uses some 56K of memory.

I couldnt figure out at what point it kicks in and hijacks the system.
