Skype using 100% of CPU and hard disk resources, c...

So, lately, I switched the hard drives in my computer to migrate from Windows XP and install Windows Vista to my machine, everything was going alright with my machine, until I decided to install Skype, as it's the main communications line with me and the internet, and I noticed it now takes up pretty much all of my CPU and hard disk resources when loading all of my contacts and messages after installation, but it finished loading them, and it still uses a high amount of my resources. Skype uses approximately 250MB of memory (Which is kind of high on a system like mine..), it maxes out the processor at around 95-100% utilization, and the hard drive light is on full, as I hear the read head spazzing out on the thing anyways. I was wondering, is this an issue with the latest version of Skype? I can't use older versions since Skype/Microsoft decommissioned them, and it won't even let me log in to them. Could someone possibly help me with this? 
My machine specifications are as of follows if it has anything to do with the issue.:
MSI MS-6741 K8MM-ILSR MicroATX Socket 754 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.00GHz Single-Core Socket 754 Processor (Currently overclocked to 2.15GHz)
PNY Nvidia QuadroFX 1100 128MB AGP 8x Workstation Graphics Card

  • Get CPU and Hard Disk nuber

    Hi Friends,
    How to get CPU number it mean Mother bord nuber and Hard Disk number..?
    Plz any body know then tell me.
    Thank you,

    JNI = Java Native Interface
    Using JNI you can call platform-specific code, for example code written in C or C++ in a Windows DLL. You'll have to write some C or C++ code that does the things you want ("get the harddisk number, motherboard number, ...") and call that C or C++ code from your Java code via JNI.
    How you get the "harddisk number" or "motherboard number" in your C/C++ code is a different question that you have to consult the documentation of your operating system for.
    Ofcourse you'll need a C/C++ compiler to compile your C/C++ source code into a library that can be called via JNI.

  • CWBufferedAO.zip uses 100% of CPU

    This sample program is modified as follows,
    CWAO1.UpdateClock.Frequency = 1024
    CWAO1.NUpdates = 1024
    CWAO1.ProgressInterval = 256
    When PCI-MIO-XE16-10 is used and NUpdates is the same value as Frquency, this program uses 100% of CPU and "STOP" button does not work.
    Our program was developed for DAQCard-6036E and was intended to use it on PCI-MIO-16XE-10. Because of programming requirement, the stopping process should be taken within 1 second after STOP button is clicked.
    Is there any reason why this sample program uses 100% of CPU when small value of NUpdates is applied?

    My PC is DELL Precision-620 (2 CPU's) with Win2000.
    The sampling rate is 1024Hz so that 256 samples take 250ms. It is very slow operation.
    STOP button does not work and some user logics do not work in Progress routine.
    Attached a slighly modified program to show you the strange opeartion in Nidak32.sys. Are the Update count
    and Time Editbox updated on your PC?

  • Updated and smaller Zen Touch using Hitachi's newest C4k60 hard disk

    The new Hitachi C4k60 hard disk is really small and is NOT inside the "actual" Zen Touch:
    Zen Touch hard disk model (Hitachi): HTC424020F7AT00 (red it on a Zen Touch hard disk)
    Hitachi C4k60 model: HTC426020G7CE00 (found it on Hitachi's website, that's the 20gb version, also available in 30gb)
    Obviously, the 2 models aren't the same, and the new C4k60 is "much" smaller (physical size).
    Anandtech's review of the Creative Zen Portable Media Center says that it uses a Hitachi C4k60 hard disk. So Creative are already using those new Hitachi hard disks for some of their products.
    Is it possible that an updated version (smaller of course) of the Zen Touch using this new hard disk appears pretty soon? I really HOPE so...
    I know that the Zen Touch isn't old, but other brands already have smaller 20gb mp3 players using Hitachi's new C4k60 hard disk, so I guess Creative is going to respond with an updated, smaller and even better looking Zen Touch (other improvements like a line-in, "standard removable dri've in windows" and EAX would be welcome to)!
    Can someone confirm this, or give any details/information?
    ThanksMessage Edited by Lazar on 2-27-2004 03:06 AM

    I just saw the archos gmini xs200 in a local shop, had it in hands:
    it's really a nice player, and it's so small for a 20gb one, but from different online reviews, true battery life is only about 8hours and battery isn't removable. This sucks !!!
    Well, i'm goin to wait for a new Zen Touch firmware enablling driverless windows support or an updated gmini xs 200 with a better or removable battery...
    Still no new high capacity portable mp3 for me YET, lol !Message Edited by Lazar on 2-28-2004 :23 PM

  • Apple Mail client app (version 8.0) using 100%+ of CPU upon using mail drop (13" R-MBP running Yosemite 10.10)

    Hello Support Community,
    I am having quite the interesting issue. I have read plenty of reports where users' Apple Mail app is using 100% of CPU. This did not start for me until I went to go use the new mail drop feature in Yosemite. I am running Yosemite (10.10) on my 13" Retina - MacBook Pro (flash storage, 8GB RAM, 2.4 dual-core Intel i5) and my Apple mail is version 8.0. I have tried 3 different mail services (2 gmail accounts and iCloud), all result in the same issue. I have also done a complete erase of the hard disk and a brand new install of Yosemite, the issue persists.
    As previously stated my mail app is using 100% upon, and only while, using the mail drop feature. If I force quit the mail app and allow it a minute, the mail app returns to using less than 1% of the CPU and the app and entire system resume normal function. Upon attempting to resend the same message that is placed in my outbox the CPU usage jumps to 50-80%. After a few seconds, the CPU usage will sometimes jump higher than 100%, ranging from 130% - 199%. All of these observations were made using Activity Monitor. Of course you can see my frustration, an app using this much CPU stops every process my Mac is doing (using safari, messages, iTunes etc.) - the whole computer locks up. Even force quitting is a difficult process to attempt.
    Does anyone have a fix for this? I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and have tried everything that I would've thought would fix this. Is there anyway this could be a hardware issue? I don't think so but... all possibilities need to be taken into consideration, even though that one seems outlandish. Upon creating a new user account with a separate user library (but same system library) I figured the OS was the problem. I can't narrow it down to being a specific mail provider, and it can't be my OS since I have now erased and reinstalled 10.10 twice. Thank you!

    I have this same issue.  It has been driving me insane, Mac Mail uses 100% CPU most of the time I use it, after every time I open the machine, or after a sleep or even mostly after a screen saver has locked me out.  It normally settles down after 5-15 minutes, but then happens every time again.  It is killing my battery.

  • 100% Activity time of hard disk in HP 1000-1140tu .

    Hi Everyone
    HP 1000-1140tu notebook with 500GB (Toshiba MQ01ABD050 ) , 2GB Ram ddr3 and core i3 processor. This machine has 100% Activity time for hard disk and average response time is always above 1200ms. Mostly system get stucks for 2-3 minutes.
    I have re-installed windows 7 and windows 8.1 64bit versions and format the hard drive but issue is not fixed.Also i have updated bios to latest version. Does anybody know about this issue?
    I have two suppositions about this issue :
    1. Hard drive controlller issue
    2. Hard drive connectors issue

    Hello @Hp1000TU ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you have 100% disk usage on your notebook at all times.
    Let's start by optimizing the hardware performance on your notebook by changing the power plan to High Performance. 
    You can also try running a disk check for corruptions on the drive, and have the computer try to fix them. To do this I suggest booting the notebook into safe mode with command prompt, and then running the following command: 
    chkdsk /b /v /x C:
    Let me know the results of the check disk or if the power plan resolved the issue.
    Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!

  • Hp dv4-2112tu no boot no display , ram and hard disk are ok and checked, shows caps num led blinking

    Hello Sir/Madam,
    I have HP DV4-2112TU
    My laptop doesn’t boot completely and shows blank black display. CPU fan running normally and hard disk rotating normally.
    Battery charging is ok and charging-power led glows normally. Caps lock and Num lock led flashes 3 times and then wait for one second and then flash again and so on. Laptop is stucked in booting process.
    I have checked both of my RAMs and Hard Disk in Another Laptop. All are working fine and shows no issues.
    I have also checked my laptop installing new RAM in both ports (simultaneously) and a new Hard Disk but Laptop shows same problem - no display no boot.
    I showed my laptop at an authorised HP Service Centre... they told me that the problem is related to my Hard Disk....But this is wrong Because a faulty hard disk is never cause no display and no boot and even no BIOS POST message. They told me wrong cause of fault because I have checked Hard Disk and it is OK.
     Can anyone tell me what are the issues related to my Laptop..... …..
    Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The 3 blink pattern does correspond to issues with the memory modules, see the document below:
    Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code
    Since it sounds like you've done everything possible to eliminate the memory modules themselves as the source of the problem.  Based on your description, I'd agree that the problem is probably not the Hard Drive.  Which unfortunately leaves us with a problem with the Motherboard as the only component that might be implicated and that hasn't been changed out yet.  It could be as simple as a bad connector, or something less easy to detect in the logic on the board, but either way, it seems like it would need to go back to a service center for repair.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS5. Memory and Hard disk space Mac OSX

    Just got CS5 Master Suite.  Whenever I open photoshop it takes a ton of memory 1 gig +. When I open  files it takes up more and more until it takes up all my memory and hard  disk space. I open a simple multi layered file that is 25 megs in size  to work on it. Before I know it photoshop is taking 20gigs+ of my hard  disk space along with 3+ gigs of system memory. Is there a memory  problem in photoshop cs5?
    Thanks!
    Joseph
    UPDATE:
    So I just opened the 25 meg file  in photoshop cs5 and watched my free space on my hard drive go down 8  gigs the instant I opened it. It went from 27 gigs of freespace to 19  instantly. As I open more files and close others it works till my harddrive goes to zero space... stalls the computer big time. Only way to correct it is to quit photoshop cs5 and wait a few minutes for the space to return... and it takes a few minutes for it all to return.
    I am running a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6., 4 gigs of ram on board.
    anyone else having simular problems?

  • Beeping and hard disk failure

    My probook 6470b cannot boot again. Always prompting for memory and hard disk test. Memory passed the test but the hard disk test displays the following;
    SMART CHECK: NOT INSTALLED
    SHORT DST: .NOT INSTALLED.
    Pls help

    Hi:
    It appears from the information that you provided that the hard drive has completely failed and needs to be replaced.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP technical support and file a warranty support ticket to get the drive replaced.
    You will also need to have HP send you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system, programs and drivers that came with the notebook.

  • Power on and hard disk password issue with rescue and recovery ?

    I have set a power on and hard disk password to prevent any unauthorized user to boot the computer and thats works fine but the problem is that it can be bypassed very easily by pressing the THINKVANTAGE blue button and going through the initial screen of the rescovery process.
    When you reach the main screen of the recovery process just press on "restart system" and on the next boot up you won't be asked for a password and it will boot into Windows. Is there any way to prevent a user to initiate a rescue and recovery to bypass the password or even better a patch that will trigger the password screen as soon as the blue THINKVANTAGE button is pressed ?

    I just recently discovered this problem as well.
    I'm hoping someone can help us with this.

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

    Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
    All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
    I already tried the following scenarios:
    1-  Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
    2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
    Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
    Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
    3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
    Link to script:

    Here is a link to the content of my WindowUpdate.log file:

    Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
    Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
    Might I suggest the following:
    Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
    Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
    Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
    Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
    Cumulative Security Update.
    Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
    years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
    Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

  • Can I use the time capsule as backup and hard disk at the same time?

    Hi.
    I want to buy a time capsule.
    I wondered, if I can use the time capsule as backup (over time machine) and as a hard disk at the same time?
    If I buy the 2TB time capsule, I wanted to use 1TB for the backup and 1TB for hard disk.
    Is this possible?
    Best wishes
    Sophie

    It is not recommended.. the problem being anything stored on the TC only is not backed up and cannot be backed up by the TC itself or Time Machine. So what are you going to do about back.. the TC can and do die suddenly.. and the cost of recovery can be huge.
    See Q3 here for the semi-right way to do it if you must.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    You can plug a USB drive into the TC and use that for files.. but note, its speed is poor.. fine for wireless as wireless is even slower but you will really notice it if you expect the drive to be as fast as the internal.. it will be a fraction of the internal drive speed. 1/2 write and 1/3 read aprox.

  • Can I install and use any 2.5" SATA hard disk on my Mac Mini (Late 2012)?

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) which is currently housing a 500GB SATA hard disk. Unfortunately read errors have been detected and it seems to be slowing down. I want to replace this with another 500GB SATA hard disk and I was wondering whether any notebook (2.5") hard disk would work or whether I have to look for one with specific specs (such as RPM, SATA version, etc).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any 2 1/2 inch STA HD will work as long as the height is 9.5 mm or less. All most all meet this requirement except very larger capacity ones
    I would opt for a SSD since those are a lot faster than a 2 1/2 HD and now they are very reasonably priced.
    You can consider installing a second disk to using:
