Always 100%

[King]

For the last few days now my PC randomly goes up to 100%, il close all the programs and still it stays at 100%. The toolbar at the bottom starts disappearing and reappearing and im unable to do anything. I took some screenshots of the different tabs on task manager to see if anyone can see a reason why its doing this.

thanks :)

Hi

 

Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

 

Can you tell us all the processes that is running when the CPU usage is 100%?

[King]

This is all the processes that were running :)

Hi

 

It is a bit hard to read, even in the links. Do you have larger images or can you type them ;)

Are you connected to the net and online when this activity is going on, and can you see if there is any heavy traffic either coming in or going out at the time?

[King]

sorry il type them out :)

 

csrss.exe

Maxtor status icon

Winlog.exe

dwm.exe

lxddmon.exe

lxddamon.exe

DAP.exe

RtHDVCpl.exe

hkcmd.exe

igfxsrvc.exe

issch.exe

jusched.exe

ehmsas.exe

ehtray.exe

OSD.exe

igfxpers.exe

taskend.exe

MSASCui.exe

explorer.exe

taskmgr.exe

Wireless manager.exe

 

Also now the PC takes much longer to start-up to the screen where i log on, and the fan sounds like its laboring when the PC's at 100%.

 

Nev: is there somewhere i can look to see the traffic coming in and out? is that the packets coming in and out? :)

Hi, What type of connection are you using? If say an ADSL, some ADLS modems have an icon on the bottom task bar that if double clicked will show a real time bar chart of what is happening and the speed it is going at.

If a different type of connection, there are other ways of monitoring the in and out, but we need to know which to advise.

Also some firewalls will indicate traffic, though not very well, I have Comodo for instance, which shows red arrows for incoming and green for outgoing.

Also

 

Do you use Salfeld Personal Security Manager? Or what Anti-virus are you using?

[King]

Im on a ADSL connection, but cant see anywhere to check the incoming/outcoming data. I used to have netmeter and i think this monitored the incoming and outcoming data?

 

My anti virus is AVG :)

Hi King,

 

If you open up the task manager and go to the Processes tab, you should see a button near the bottom that reads 'Show Processes from all users'

 

Click it, click continue when prompted, and then look again at the processes tab. Click the 'CPU' heading near the top to sort the processes by their current CPU use.

 

Is there a process that stays at the top with a high useage beside it?

[King]

the highest one is svchost.exe at around 56,000

theres plenty more svchost's too but with much less usage

Hi, I am a little worried that the high CPU usage may be down to malware activity, but I will wait for our security team to have a look, if they think the same then this may be moved to that section.

Nev.
