Fuzzy Logic 4 & 100% CPU Usage freeze

Hi,
is there any Fuzzy Logic 4 Version out there that works with KT3 Ultra2-R and XP?
I tried 4.0.63.1 and 4.1.48.0 from the MSI Pages and the Version I got on CD
4.0.63.1 just can't find the avi ...
4.1.48.0 and the CD Version just add the Icon to the taskbar when starting and than take 100% CPU-Time and do nothing anymore.
The Program is not even killable in Taskmanager so all I can do afterwards is wait 10 minutes until XP has shutdown with the leftover CPUtime.

I understand the CS2 is probably not helping, but there is really a problem on other apps too - not only CS2 and those are universal.
Page ins/outs are currently 142257/71109 and i have not been using or even opening CS2 - just safari, itunes, What size , MSEntourage, VLC and moving some files.
I have taken some earlier advice on your posts regarding using multiple internal disks - so i moved itunes and iphoto libraries to a separate disk and also use that for scratch in CS2. The drives are 250GB WD and 250GB Seagate, and i am looking at replacing them with one or two 750GB WD RE2, although probably not in RAID ( dont want to complicate my life too much in one go !)
Overall i think the page ins/outs look high from my searching in other posts, but can't see why it would be overloaded when i normally dont use the CS2 that much ( only a hobby)
Also the private/var/vm directory has 3 swap files - two of 64 MB and one (Swapfile2) is 128MB, if that tells something else ?
looks like i will have to invest in 4GB more memory as well as the HDD's. i was confused with the apparent further lack of support in CS3 for 64 bit programming (?) although i dont know when that would be launched so soon after CS3
I have a case of a little knowledge ( which can be a dangerous thing!)

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • How to control timing without 100% CPU usage

    I wanted fine control over timing (in windows XP), but ran into two problems.
    Problem 1: If you use the Swing timer, or Thread.sleep, the resolution is limited to 10 or 11 milliseconds. There is a Thread.sleep(millis, nanos) function, but I tested it and it still has 11ms resolution in WinXP.
    Problem 2: If you use jbanes's GAGE timer, CPU utilization will always be 100%.
    Solution: Use a hybrid technique. I would love to have nanosecond resolution AND low CPU utilization at any speed (and if you have any suggestions, please post them) but for now:
    class /*name*/ extends Thread{
    public void run(){
              setDelay(delaySettings[speed]); //Set "delay" to the desired delay in nanoseconds
              long nanos;
              while(true){
                   if(running){ //"running" is a boolean that can pause or unpause the game
                        nanos=System.nanoTime()+delay;
                        tick(); //Do the game logic and graphics for one frame
                        if(delay>11000000){ //If the system timer can handle it
                             try{sleep(delay/1000000);} //delay/1000000 gives millis
                             catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Caught sleep exception: "+e);}
                        }else{ //use a nanotimer (cpu-expensive)
                             while(System.nanoTime()<nanos){}
                   }else{ //it is paused, so wait a bit
                        try{sleep(50);}
                        catch(Exception e){System.out.println("Caught sleep exception: "+e);}
    //The rest of your code
    }If your desired delay is greater than the system timer resolution (here, I have it set at 11,000,000 nanoseconds, or 11ms) then you can use the Thread.sleep(milliseconds) call, which will have approximately 0% CPU utilization until the thread wakes up. Theoretically, you could use this time for another thread, but at the very minimum, your computer should use less power / generate less heat. If your desired resolution is smaller than 11,000,000 nanoseconds, it goes into a loop that checks nanoTime()... which gives you 100% CPU usage, but is very accurate. This works pretty well if you want to control the framerate dynamically (I use the "-"/"=" buttons to adjust speed) and it handles "pause" events, though I'm sure there are better ways to do that.
    Note: The timing granularity above 11ms for this technique is probably 11ms, though the code could be modified to provide nanosecond granularity at any speed.
    Note 2: I found this to run 3% faster than when I used the GAGE timer.

    Pause the game when u alt-tab away ^_^
    Thats what most native fullscreen games do (the
    non-networked kind atleast)Good idea, but the crux of the issue is really the underlying scheduler which allows
    the thread to race.
    How to "Eliminate" 100% CPU usage.
    Tony's Law of the exec constant. <<<<"Any thread or process running on a non-preemptive operating system MUST NOT use blocking
    IO, and MUST preempt itself at leat 20MS per iteration."
    The reason it is called a constant is because it is the minimum time needed to ensure
    the underlying operating system gets enough CPU cycles to function correctly.
    Every milliseconds below this increases exponentially the chance of locking up or
    crashing despite the speed of your system.
    Most people who program do not realize the the implications of running under defective schedulers
    such as the one provided with MS windows where, for example, you can block on a socket, and
    hang your whole system.
    >>> Do NOT use Thread.sleep() <<< but instead use Object.wait();
    Do not use blockng IO. If you have to use java.io, use available() to make such you ONLY
    read the exact amount of bytes you need without blocking and make sure to prempt
    yourself at least 20MS per iteration.
    ie:
    InputStream inputStream;
    while(working)
    Object waitObject = new Object();
    int readCount = 0;
    int availableBytes = 0;
    int  totalBytes = 10;
       while(readCount < totalBytes)
          if((availableBytes = inputStream.available())!=0)
              read() (the # of Bytes available)
          else
              synchronized(waitObject)
                   waitObject.wait(200);        // 5X per second poll
                    waitObject.notifyAll();
    Using wait() removes the current thread from being scheduled; Thread.sleep()
    leaves the Thread on the schedule list. wait() releases all monitors allow other
    threads to have them; THread.sleep() does not.
    The 100% CPU issue is especially bad under NT BTW.
    If you do this not only will your CPU usage go to negligible, but you
    will never again lock your system because of it.
    Good Luck!

  • 100% CPU Usage caused by HMI

    Hi everybody:
    I'm working with LabVIEW DSC 8.2.1 in a system that monitors many variables of a plant, such a typical SCADA system. For this reason, the use of the graphic tools is highly used on the development of this system. Everything works fine, but I have only one problem.... the usage of the CPU.
    When I am working on the development system I (not the executable) I start the application and after the variables are initialized and every process has started and are running , the CPU usage is raised around 90 - 100%. After a few days investigating the reason of this, I realized thay when I change the view on the screen to another view, for example the block diagram of the application, while the application is still running, the CPU usage goes around 15 - 25%. I've tried these many times changing the view from Front panel to Block Diagram and viceversa and the result is always the same: Front Panel= around 100%; Block diagram or another view (other applications MMIs, or Block Diagrams, etc.)= around 20%.
    Another thing that I realized is that the other view (different to front panel) has to fill the entire screen to work the way I'm telling before.
    When I build and run the executable, the usage of the CPU is the same... (around 100%), but I can't see any other application, because the application built is the shell of the OS, so no other views are available.
    I don't know if there's some other consideration to take into account about the HMI when creating an application, and I'll appreciate very much your help.
    Thanks in advance!

    100 Percent CPU Usage when you run programs after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2
    CPU Usage 100% Symptoms
    When you run some programs, the CPU Usage meter in Task Manager may indicate CPU Usage 100%. When CPU utilization reaches 100 percent, programs will run very slowly or stop responding (hang) and your computer is freezing or crashing.
    Noteress CTRL+ALT+DEL to view CPU utilization, click Task Manager, and then click the Performance tab.
    These symptoms occur after you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).
    CPU Usage 100% Cause
    These problem occurs because of the user interface code that is included in Windows XP SP2. The high CPU utilization is caused by the additional overhead that occurs when the IsWindow function is called by the user interface code.

  • 100% CPU usage... does anyone else get this?

    Here is my code. I would have simplidied it for you... but I honestly have no idea where it went wrong.
    One second it is running fine, the next it starts taking up 100% of my CPU cycles. I can't figure out what I did to it to make it do this... nothing I added creates an infinite loop or infinite threads. It's just... weird.
    The code is probably too big for anyone to look at and tell me what's wrong, but can someone else download it and tell me if you also get 100% CPU usage? It needs to be run on Windows... it uses a couple JNI calls that are Windows-specific. Those calls were the first place I looked when trying to find the problem, but I have not changed that part of the code for a long time, and it has never been a problem before.
    Don't run the bat file... just navigate to the Watchdog2 directory and do 'java Watchdog'.
    Are there any tools that can help me figure out where the program is getting hung up? It's not freezing at any specific spot... just moving super slow and taking up 100% of my CPU. I'm so confused...

    Nevermind!
    Sorry for the trouble. The problem was that last time I compiled the code, it reverted back to and older version of a class I had compiled days ago. Why it did this is totally beyond me... but it did, and it just so happens that the old version of that class combined with the new version of my program were the perfect recipe for an infinite loop.
    Seriously, if you are in inveterate debugger, you might get a good laugh out of this. I've spent the last week and a half trying to find a way to set the Windows console into cbreak mode (single character processing rather than line-at-a-time processing), and I finally managed to do it by writing some c code and putting it into a DLL with the JNI. So now my program (which runs from the console) can process each character as it is entered rather than waiting for a line return. The older version of the class that got reverted was one that used System.in rather than the input stream generated by the socket. I had set it to System.in for testing purposes, and apparently that testing version is the one it got reverted back to. So combine the two, and you have a console that is feeding System.in each character as it is pressed and a socket wrapper that is listening infinitely. It was a mess... but an uncannily serindipitous mess...
    Ahh... debugging... good time...

  • Queue consumer stops with 100% cpu usage

    I'm trying to use Berkeley DB queue with transactions. When I tested what happens when transactions with DB_APPEND are aborted I found that while it works and DB_CONSUME correctly skips over rolled back records, unfortunately extents that have those records are never deleted, which causes database to always grow. Next I tried DB_CONSUME with database opened using DB_INORDER flag and it seems there's a serious regression in Berkeley DB that causes it to loop indefinitely with 100% cpu usage when it encounters a rolled back record. I tested various versions and found that this bug doesn't happen with 5.1.29, but it is reproducible with 5.2.42, so this regression might have been introduced in 5.2. I have also tested 5.3 and 6.0, and both have this behavior. There may be something wrong with the way queue records are rolled back, one indication of that would be that in 5.1.29 doesn't have neither of the two problems I found with DB_QUEUE: extents are deleted after being consumed, and there are no issues when consuming with DB_INORDER either.
    You can find Python code to reproduce this issue here:
    https://gist.github.com/snaury/027a3c546f5b0a62a440
    Sorry for using Python and not e.g. C++, but it's a lot shorter that way.

    We have looked at the issues and they are valid.   We will roll the fixes out for this in our next release of BDB.   The test case was very useful and really helped to speed the process up.    If you have any questions, please contact me directly at [email protected]  Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn - DNS issue, hundreds of UDP connections affects my router 100% CPU usage

    Hi all,
    We've bought about ten pieces (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn), tested only one the other 9 are waiting for their time to be sent in our branch offices. The MFP works fine, no complains till later that day I noticed that our Mikrotik Router was struguling with high CPU usage, it took me some time to find the issue and it was the new bought MFP. Don't know why but it creates hundreds of UDP connections and almost 100% CPU usage goes to DNS service. As soon as I shutdown the MFP and delete all the connections everything goes back to normal. I've disabled almost all services (HP web service, Ipv6, SNMP, AirPrint, SLP, LPD, WS-Discovery, Bonjour), leaving only Ipv4 but without luck the issue persists. Here are some print screens confirming my saying:

  • Problem:100 % cpu usage with tcp server dll

    Hello,
     I am trying to write a dll with labwindows/cvi that allows me to create a TCP Server. This dll is integrated in labview.I created this Dll with example provides by Labwindows/cvi(rtserver.dll).
    Description of my problem: when i execute this dll in a "While Loop" in labview,the TCp server wait a connection and 100% cpu usage occurs. However when a client is connect to the server,the CPU is normaly used because the program stop when he meets the timeout of the tcpread() function. I would like to know how i could limit CPU usage  when the server is awaiting a client in the labview "While loop".
    I know I could use a DELAY() to limit Cpu usage ,but I would like to know if there are any others solutions.
    thank you.

    i dont know your exact application, but i generally use Q to transfer data to TCP loop in my prgram it helps me in two ways.
    1. it automatically restricts the iteration when ther is no data (Less CPU Usage, Less Unnecessary Trafic)
    2. Q can eliminate problems arising due to non synchronization of loop

  • 100% CPU usage with XP Cooler from PCAlert4

         Any idea why I would be running 100% cpu usage when running XP Cooler from PCAlert4?  I noticed PC was sluggish when running it so CTRL+ALT+DEL and under performance is 100% CPU with 245MB Ram Usage. No other TSR's running - several application but under 10% CPU usage without PCAlert and XP Cooler.
         I was also wondering if anyone had any ideas on the video?  I have the K7N2G with 768MB DDR PC 2100 (3x256) XP2200+ 266FSB running 1804MHz - Maxtor 30GB 7200RPM - 350W PSU (raidmax - yea yea I know, dont say a word though LOL) on board video and here is the problem - graphics are great, but they get choppy - running NFS HotPursuit 2 at 32bit 800x600 (doesnt seem to matter even when running 16bit 640x480still does it.) what setting am I missing?  Thanks in advance.

    Deathstalker (Richard),
         I did what you suggest in memory management and also changed out the mem on the board - it did make a difference, not as much as I had hoped, but it did.
    Raven,
         I have used Fraps in the past, forgot about it, but went ahead and downloaded it to get a better look.
    To the Both of you,
         Thanks so much for your replies, sometimes it just takes someone outside looking in to see the things overlooked.  But I went ahead and also ran all of the latest updates for the board (semi new system and I only installed with the CD that came with the Mobo) and everything is running better than expected.  Thanks again for your thoughts - keep 'em flowin, it's amazing whom we could help.  Take care.

  • Distiller 8 and 9 both locking up, 100 % CPU usage

    Not sure if its related, but probably, since it happened right after...I just transferred everything from my quad core mac pro to my new 8-core Mac Pro. Everything went well, but now Distiller 8 starts and then sits and gives the beachball of death, and one of the cores shows 100% cpu usage. (I have that utility that shows memory used, CPU usage, etc.). I hadn't bought Acrobat 9 yet so I downloaded it and installed, and Distiller 9 does the EXACT same thing. The ONLY thing I can call an "error message" is that I can see in the window after it launches is "Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2007.joboptions:/CheckCompliance out of Range."
    That message may have been there whole time, even when it worked, though. I don't know. At any rate, I need distiller working! Any ideas?

    Glad to hear all is well. Preference files can cause big problems. Eons
    ago, in the 1980s, I used a communications program called Red Ryder. I
    loved the program. After it was updated to a new version (it might have
    been called White Knight by that time), I started to have terrible
    problems. I wrote to their technical support. They couldn't duplicate
    the problem. It couldn't happen etc. I eventually got a little hot under
    the collar. After all, if I couldn't use my modem, I couldn't check my
    email, etc. It turned out to be a problem with my preference file when
    converted to the latest version, that was causing the problem. Since

  • Music store & 100% CPU usage

    I've had this problem on my newly built computer, and my older machine. When I browse the iTunes music store, the status bar on the top will often move like it's opening the music store, but it'll do this for a long period of time (several minutes) and iTunes will work, but the music store will not load, and you cannot click the 'X' to stop the contacting of the music store. During this time if you open task manager, iTunes uses 100% of CPU resources. If you close iTunes it still uses 100%. you have to end the process in task manager in order to make it stop. On occasion the music store will work to view maybe one album, but if you search for another album, or click another link it'll do the whole not-responding-100% CPU usage cycle again.
    All drivers are up to date and like I said it's done this on two seperate computers of mine on the same iTunes account. I also have a laptop and the music store works completely fine on it. It's only on my desktops that I have this issue.
    Some specs on my machine if this will help
    Asus motherboard
    AMD Athlon XP 4000+ processor
    2gb Kingston 184 pin DDR ram
    Seagate SATA II 160 GB HD
    Windows XP PRO service pack 2
    thanks for your help!

    I'm only guessing here, but perhaps iTunes is having a conflict with another application. If you are anything like me you probably install your favourite applications on all your computers. As a shortcut to troubleshooting, perhaps consider an application you have installed on the desktops, but NOT on the laptop. Then try uninstalling that application from your desktop computer and test iTunes.

  • 100% CPU usage by iCal

    For some reason my iCal application uses 100% of CPU. What can I do to avoid it?

    I had a similar problem with iTunes.
    Here's the link to what fixed my problem immediately.  Please note: my problem was resolved following just the three steps pasted below.  The original link has additional steps that may be necessary, although I did not employ them, and my problem of 100% CPU USAGE is gone!!!  Thank God!

  • Run program in 100% cpu usage

    hi all,
    does any body know how to set the java program to utilize 100% cpu usage? thanks!

    class Empty implements Runnable {
        Empty() {}
        public void run() {
            while(true) {}
        public static void main(String[] arg) {
            new Thread(new Empty()).start();
            new Thread(new Empty()).start();
            new Thread(new Empty()).start();
            new Thread(new Empty()).start();
    }Not sure why you would want to do this though?

  • Copying from USB NTFS device with Dolphin (KDE) causes 100% CPU usage

    I am copying +/- 30 GB of Music files (flac) from my external USB HDD which is formatted as NTFS.
    I have installed ntfs-3g and am experiencing near 100% CPU usage. What's wrong?
    Additional info: I am using KDE and initiated the copying through dolphin. KDE's system monitor only shows CPU usage near 100%, but no processes in the process view could be responsable.
    Thanks!

    What mount options are used for that ntfs drive?
    Edit: There are many similar threads but I couldn't find a solution other than trying out some kernel and cpufrequtils fun.

  • [10.1.2] Protected Mode causing 100% CPU Usage/Extra Processes on Win XP 32-bit?

    Hello,
    I'm not 100% sure if the two are related, but I have a client who was seeing 100% CPU usage using Adobe Acrobat Reader X 10.1.2 on Windows XP 32-bit and Firefox 11. The acrord32.exe process would hang around after closing the main window and eventually leading to tons of processes and his CPU at 100% use. I believe disabling Protected Mode may have solved this issue. I didn't see it documented anywhere so I figure I'd post about it here and see if anyone else was seeing this resolved as well.

    I noticed 'only' 50 % CPU usage. Not during Reader usage with ~ 20 %, but it started after closing main window.
    Two instances of acrord32.exe were created - the moment pdf was opened - of which one was using zero CPU.
    After opening another pdf, 2 more processes were created, so 4 in total. Have seen 2 of them using 100 %.
    Issue is easily recreated.
    This is all in 10.1.3, no fix from Adobe, only THE fix from you: turning of Protected Mode!
    After which now only one proces is created, with 1 to 3 pdf documents opened at same time.
    This instance is then nicely shutdown after the last pfd is closed.
