Firefox causing high GPU usage and fluctuations

I have an NVIDIA GTX 440 graphics card and I like to monitor its speeds and tempratures.
Ive noticed whenever using firefox even when im just scrolling down a page my gpu clock will shoot up to max (822 mhz) and this will of course cause the fan to speed up and make noise.
Its kind of annoying cause when im not scrolling its on idle and quiet, and then I scroll down and suddenly it shoots up. Basically its making my gpu go from max to low constantly and I dont think thats very good for my gpu.
Is there anyway to fix this? I dont see why firefox needs max speed from the GPU.

There should be an issue in bugzilla for this. It's obvioulsy coding defects. Chrome utilize GPU 3-4 times less than Firefox and works smoother. IE10 utilize GPU 10-13 times less than Firefox and works even more smoother than Chrome.

  • Persistent Active Requests causing high CPU usage and load average

    Hi, we've deployed a JSP application on standalone OC4J talking to Oracle DB. The whole thing runs on Sun Solaris. On some occasions (still investigating what causes this), the number of active requests rises (as seen from EM console) and never drops down. The weird thing is, the load average numbers are proportional to the number of persistent active request. If there are 3 active requests, load avg will be [3.x 3.x 3.x], and whenever persistent active request exist, CPU usage will shoot up to over 90% (usually between 95% - 100%). When the system is running normally, CPU usage is usually less than 20%. Is it possible to track down this problem and how? Many thanks.

    The icons on the right of the menu bar … show a beachball when I put the cursor over themWell, if this was your only problem I would put it down to a corrupt preference or cache file. Nevertheless, it is worth seeing how much this helps.
    The file you need to trash is 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, plus it is best to delete your caches as well, so ...
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
    See if this improves the situation, and post back with any remaining oddities.

  • Browser's javascript engine causing high CPU load and lost swipe events

    I'm having performance issues on some websites. I think that my the javascript engine in the Playbook's javascript engine is causing high CPU usage, which means the device misses swipe gestures.
    Visit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15814035
    Once the page is loaded swipe to scroll up and down. On my device (and my friend's) it is incredibly slow. Sometimes it refuses to register any swipe events.
    Now turn off javascript and reload the page. Swipe to scroll up and down. Smooth as silk!
    My device is a new 16Gb with version 1.0.7.3312. Thanks

    I'm having the same problem on a number of websites with my 32gb Playbook. On the same sites that I notice slow, sometimes barely responsive swipes for scrolling my wife's iPad 2 handles them with ease. Disabling javascript fixes the problem however a lot of websites including gmail requires javascript to be enabled on your browser to load. I notice the problem quite a bit when using webmail to check my gmail account which is rather frustrating because it is my only option until PB gets a native email client. My PB is running software 1.0.8.4295, but the problem was also occurring when it was running 1.0.7.

  • IcedTea High CPU usage and multiple jobs created

    Here is a good tutorial on Java.  Evidently, what I called "jobs" is referred to as processes and threads in this tutorial.  The tutorial states that multithreaded execution is an essential feature of the Java platform which explains the avalanche of threads I observe.  However, I am still stumped at what causes the avalanche of threads and excessive CPU consumption for such a mediocre task.  Also the system log says that IcedTea has an error stating "Application title was not found in manifest. Check with application vendor".   I interpret this to mean that IcedTea does not recognized some application.  What application?  .....the applet?

  • Recently FireFox often has been causing 100% CPU usage and locks up until it finishes the process (various ones). Clearing cookies/cache didn't help. Any ideas?

    Windows 2000 SP4, 1g RAM, Firefox 9.0.1
    We keep IE6 and Firefox open simultaneously for 2 different mail accounts. Firefox was always much faster even with 3 or 4 tabs open, but for the past couple of weeks when trying to update a screen the CPU suddenly goes to 100% usage and of course nothing will move until the particular process is finished. Closing one or more tabs does not help. If I close Firefox completely with Task Manager CPU usage goes back down to nil. After restarting Firefox CPU usage may or may not go back up depending upon whether it tries to continue the previous task that was locking it up.
    It did not do this with Firefox 3.6 but then again it didn't happen immediately after updating to 9.0.1 either.

    100% CPU usage occurred most often toward the end of the working day when busy trying to print on-line postage. We don't have any memory-consuming plugins but according to the knowledge base articles Firefox memory usage can gradually increase during the day even if you do nothing. It seems that may be the problem so we close and restart Firefox more often now as that usually fixes the problem. However, if we get stuck on a particular website update that causes the CPU to to go 100%, we can always start Firefox without previous tabs so the update will stop, or simply use a different browser until we have time to let the computer play games with itself.
    So our workaround of restarting Firefox turns out to be the final solution (until we find something better - will post it if we do). Vic

  • Microsoft Office 2004 -- extremely high cpu usage and virtual ram

    hi,
    when i use office it causes a very high cpu usage even when its in idle mode.
    i am unable to work with it, because its extremely slow.
    does anyone have same experiences?
    thanks for your help!
    mbp 2.0 1,5gb ram 80gb hdd   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am able to work OK with office, I'm using the 'old version' Microsoft Office v.X, not much details in the About Box, just listed as MSoft Word/Excel/etc for Mac service release 1.
    I get the occasional crash, and I have seen Word in particular use 90% of a single core and amazingly large virtual memory usage, gigabytes sometimes, but eventually the document gets printed.
    It shows how useful the dual core (or quad) cpu approach is!
    One cpu for Word to print, and one cpu to run the rest of my applications/life!
    I still use this old office rather than re-booting into Window§ for whatever is the latest version of office.
    Doing some playing with a similar one page document in Office v.X and Pages 2.01, I get Word using about 25% of a core , Pages using 5%, - whilst editing; Intel native Pages has 20% of a core and 80MB ram 480 virtual whilst printing, Word has about 100% of a core and 65MB ram 650 virtual whilst printing, but it is a powerPC code so Rosetta is in there somewhere.

  • Using FF 12 32-bit in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit cause high mem usage

    AVG gave an alert msg saying "detected high memory usage.
    256 MB".
    It suggest to close and open again.
    Also I notice highest page fault.
    I didn't do anything, just continue to surf as usual.
    I have 4 GB of RAM.
    Do I need to be concern about this?
    Is there a solution to fix this?
    Thanks.

    256MB of Ram isn't really "high" (depending on what you are doing). To put it into perspective. You aren't even using a 16th of your available RAM. AVG is a very poor system optimizer and anti-virus, and often provides false positives.
    You can try doing things like uninstalling add-ons you don't use: [[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
    Update your graphics Driver: [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Install all Windows Updates, and then test again.
    How many tabs and what were you doing when you received this alert? Did Firefox continue to run normally?
    You can view at any time how much memory Firefox is using by typing about:memory into the address bar.

  • Adobe stuffs cause high CPU usage

    I just download Creative Cloud a few days ago for Primiere CC and since then there is always something from it that causes ~50% CPU usage. I tried to end the process by Task Manager and something else just replace the previous one's place. Sometimes it's CEP Service Manager, sometimes it's Core Sync, CEF Helper, etc. and it's driving me nut! I mean like right now Firefox only takes about 20% while those things just sky rocket the CPU usage. What should I do? How do I stop this?

    Since I installed CC, my laptop has been running very hot too.

  • Mixer window can cause high CPU usage, crashes

    This is probably one of the weirdest bugs I've seen for a while. Here are the steps that I reproduce it for me, maybe someone will want to try this out and see if they get the same.
    1) Open an Empty Project template.
    2) Create 16 instrument tracks when it gives you the dialog. (even 1 will be enough, but the effect is clearer the more tracks you create)
    3) Open the mixer. Either in a window or in the pane.
    4) Now create a "multi-timbral" instrument track with the plus button (use the checkbox there).
    5) Select the 16th track, and now select one of the arrange tracks of the multi-timbral instrument.
    6) Open up Activity Monitor from your Utilities folder in Finder and see how much Logic is taking up CPU. It should be significantly higher than the idle state. On my MBP it'll be around 80%.
    This is not a problem in itself, because when reproducing it like this the high CPU usage goes away when you select another track and won't return if you select the multi-timbral instrument again.
    However, I have sessions where this will continue happening with a multi-timbral instrument all the time. Not only that, I've had Logic crash when this starts happening. And this whole thing will slow down the UI considerably when it's active.
    The workaround that seems to work for me is simply not keeping the mixer window/pane open.

    This is one of the issue which has already been raised to Microsoft and hopefully a public build will be available soon  in next cumulative update pack .
    There are variety of reason for this starting for password mismatch or password not given , SFTP adapter unable to connect and so on .
    There is good post here in below link for this issue

  • WebLogic JMS high memory usage and frequent full GCs

    Hi Team,
                We have below set up in production (and all the lower environment).
    1. WLS: 10.3.6 (64 bit)
    2. Java: HP JDK 1.7.0.06 (64 bit)
    3. Two Manage server instances in cluster with one Migratable target
    4. one JMS server with Persistence store targeted to Migratable target
    5. Messages are persisted in DB
    6. about 37 distributed queues/topics are hosted on one JMS server
    7. .Net JMS clients and WebLogic JMS clients connect to respective JMS distributed Queues/topics to either produce message or consume.
    Since last month, we see that WebLogic Manage server hosting JMS server keeps on chewing memory "even with small (of the order of 28 messages in 4/5 days) load", GC indicates that objects are shifted from PSYoung space to ParOldGen during minor GCs but ParOldGen space keeps on filling up in smaller chunks. After x number of days (where x ranges from 5-7 days), even Full GC is not able to bring down memory significantly and that's when frequent full GCs start with long pauses making JMS highly unstable.
    We don't have JMS Quotas configured but I think something else going on as it is not high on load.  Any additional hints or troubleshooting steps is much appreciated?
    Here is first and last  GC log just to give an idea...

    Regards,

    Thanks Luz. I have been collecting gclogs and heap dumps (whenever app server is high on memory and frequent GCs with long pauses are seen). So far heap dumps haven't revealed anything specific (may be I am not able to read heap dumps properly ) but looking at GC confirms that app server is consuming allocated heap.I was following Oracle WebLogic server support Patter as you have indicated. I thought about opening a ticket with HP but on high level JVM is doing what is suppose to do i.e allocating memory space as needed and performing GC therefore didn't go that path.
    Any other suggestions that might be useful. One of the things I forgot to mention ( and I will add it to original message), that one of the .Net consumers is not asynchronously connecting to its queue (to consume messages) rather it is synchronously connects and then if it doesn't find messages it disconnects and process goes on every few seconds. I was reading somewhere that frequent JNDI look ups should be avoided. Can this cause memory issue if so then it is strange as this same set up has been there over a year and we never has problem then?

  • [SOLVED] chrome / chromium high gpu usage leads to overheating laptop

    My laptop overheated a few times recently due to high gpu temperature. Tried different drivers (nouveau and nvidia) and kernel and that didn't help. So, today when it started heating up I went through the options in chrome:/flags in chromium to disable all gpu accelerated options I could find (hardware acceleration was already disabled). Then I noticed in the task manager that the gpu process was still there (also it was still getting hot). So, I went through all the switches for chromium and started it like this:
    chromium --diable-gpu --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --disable-accelerated-jpeg-decoding --disable-accelerated-video-decode --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-gpu-program-cache --disable-gpu-rasterization --disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-one-copy --disable-threaded-compositing --disable-threaded-animation
    and now the cpu heats up a little but that is throttled through thermald so no big deal there. No gpu process anymore in the built in task manager for chromium.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any different ideas? Is there a way to throttle gpu based on temperature for nvidia cards? I have some new thermal paste coming and got some compressed air to clean out my machine and then reapply the paste (probably needed to be done anyways). Just curious if anyone else had any alternate thoughts or if maybe it was just a couple things I could disable in chromium instead of everything. I noticed it heats up a lot when viewing long pages with lots of images especially.
    Edit: The card is a Nvidia GTX560M. I just tried nouveau and messing around with some variables for temperature threshold in /sys/ but it didn't seem to help (I don't think my gpu fan is that compatible anyways).
    Update: The only option needed to get rid of GPU Process tab is  "--disable-gpu-compositing"

    I do not entirely understand your post. I have looked into throttling gpu. I think in order to underclock and manipulate these settings coolbits needs to be set to 8 is what I am reading. Will post back when I find out more.
    Edit: Enabled coolbits and tried changing clock speed but when I hit enter screen just blacked out. Guess I'll just leave gpu off for chromium.

  • MSI R9 270X HAWK low GPU usage and screen flickering problem

    I bought an MSI R9 270X HAWK vga and I have this screen flickering issue.
    My S/N: 602-V303-02SB1310009419
    I also had another problem: the GPU usage averages at 50-55% on every game (DX9,10,11 games like TESV Skyrim, League of Legends, Crysis 2-3, Battlefield 2-3, Far Cry 3) and never reaches more than 80%(well, once I made it run at 99%, I used ultra settings on Battlefield 4 with Sync on, Ultra preset settings with 200% res. scale so pretty much the maxed out Settings). I'm using this card with 8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance RAM with a stock clocked 1090T and AMD's reply for this problem was, that this problem can be driver problem as well as VBIOS.

    I created a bootable usb, placed the files in it (formated, and only these files were at the usb, dos startup directed to win98boot's folder (C:\win98boot) renamed the tv303ms.134 to tv303ms.rom,l after i placed it on the usb and in the boot menu there are four additional options related to the USB (there's no USB only option): FDD, HDD, CDROM, zip. Selecting the FDD and CDROM starts the windows normally, The HDD option ended on the white-black screen, and there's where I can write:   C:\>
    after this i tried to type in: atiflash.exe TV303MS.rom [enter] nothing happened, then atiflash.exe [enter] and popped up some help instructions for the use of atiflash, I pressed enter over and over and then requested another command, I tiped in the tv303ms.rom [enter] and again nothing happened (invalid command I think). What should I do now ? I did some research but still can't figure out what the problem is. :/ (If I done everything correct, maybe the problem related to my motherboard or USB stick?)

  • Wake-On-Lan (WOL) after sleep causes high CPU usage

    Hi,
    I noticed a problem with constant high CPU usage on one of my cores.
    As much as 60% was used.
    The problem occures after I put the system to "sleep" (S3 state) and perform a WOL with a "magic packet".
    I discovered that ACPI.sys+0x1af44 thread was responsible (using sysinternals ProcessExplorer) under the System process.
    If i perform WOL while the machine was shut down everything works perfectly.
    My NIC is  "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" and I'm using the latest drivers.
    I discovered that if I disabled the option in Power Management for the device: "Allow this device to wake the computer", the CPU usage immediately went to normal (without restarting). But enabling it back the high CPU usage resumes. Performing
    another sleep and awaking the system with power button "resets" the CPU usage issue for "good". Until i WOL from sleep again ofcourse..
    I contacted the motherboard manufacturer of the problem but so far no real answer.
    I'm saddened because I need the WOL feature.
    I'm hoping somebody who has more insight in the behaviour of ACPI on W7 can answer my questions.

    I think most people have been seeing the problems in any of the 2.6.35 kernels, so 2.6.34.3 would be my recommendation
    +1
    And put kernel26 in IgnorePkg.

  • High CPU Usage and Temperature

    I've recently purchased a MacBook with the latest updates, including the firmware for the random shutdowns but lately when I boot the MacBook up, the fans kick on and it reads 83 degrees Celsius with about 65% CPU Usage and I don't have anything running except what came on the MacBook in itself, any suggestions?? Apple told me to take it in to have it looked at but I was wondering if there is anything I can fix perhaps?? Thank you

    Sometimes when I connect an external drive which I have made drastic file changes to, there are two process that eat up a lot of cpu power and get the macbook really hot for awhile, those two processed are related to the way spotlight tries to re-index the external drive or the internal hd itself if I had made drastic changes to it too.
    Could it be that?
    You can see them show up in Activity Monitor, they are mdimport and another one starting with md(something) too.
    Hope that helps (if that's the issue)
    Best,
