High CPU usage caused by system interrupts [Satellite L50-B-1DG]
Just installed 64bit versions of windows 8.1 & windows 7 on a brand new Satellite L50-B-1DG, and literally without any programs installed, the CPU usage does not fall below 45%.
The windows 8.1 task manager suggests this is caused by system interrupts, so I tried the following without any luck:
1. installed latest version of all drivers
2. disabled all devices one by one to trace the root of the interrupts
3. used latencymon to trace the driver behind the DPCs, and while the program suggests that it is caused by aspi, again I cannot trace which device causes the interrupts (I have already disabled them all)
4. re-installed windows 8.1/7 multiple times, no difference
So, is this normal? Is this caused by faulty hardware? People with same models notice anything similar?
Cheers

High cpu usage when the system is idle
I do have a high cpu usage problem when the system is idle. I bought the laptop (lenovo x230 tablet) with windows 7 installed in it. Then upgraded to windows 8. But ever since I have problems with high cpu usage by the system even when the computer is idle.
Only the system by itself uses around 30% of the cpu all the time. I ran xperf, and here is the result of it:

I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks,Hi,
I'm sorry for that the log you provide can't be opened on my computer. While according to your description, it should had a special process that consume CPU usage when system idle Iguess, isn't it?
You can use
Process Explorer to monitor the process activity, may be we can find the reason of this problem.
Note: We can use Process Explorer to check the Stack of every process then analyize the problem in deep.
To gave a better insight about this problem, you can take a ScreenShot for this problem and provide the picture here.

High CPU usage since last 48 hours
hi,
i'm experiencing a high cpu usage relating to "System" since last 48 hours. i'm also unable to open the Pictures or Music. It says "Scanning Device Storage" but seems never will end.
i've my phone restarted many times but changed nothing. i'm currently recharging my phone 2 times a day and i'm worried about the heat it's getting.
i'm also worried about the large size of data being out of my phone! is it a security issue?
(down bounds of the battery usage showing the phone on charge!)Remove your media card and do a powered on, battery pull reboot. Reinsert your media card and see if the issue persists.
For the #Z30 model,
On your BlackBerry10 device with a non-removable battery:
Restart: With your BlackBerry powered ON, press and hold the upper edge power button a couple seconds and the tap the lower right RESTART.
or,
Reboot: With your BlackBerry powered ON, using the side edge volume keys, press and hold down both of the Up and Down volume keys for about 20 seconds, ignoring the initial screenshot message... the screen will go black and reboot.

High CPU Usage on Satellite C655S5132
High CPU usage On Satellite C655S5132 when running Window Explorer Internet and other programs. CPU use is so high it freezes computer. I have went back to original factory setting, ran virus programs nothing helps and flash player keep crashing. Please help.
DesperateHas this been something that just recently started happening, or have you had this issue for a while? Have you installed any new programs recently?
You may want to download Glary Utilities, which is a free software(they will ask you if you want to go Pro, just say no, the free version works very well). There is a module for startup manager. You can go in and disable stuff that starts with the computer. I would advise unchecking adobe, java, quicktime, printers, etc. Anything that doesn't REALLY need to start with the computer. The nice thing with Glary is that you can restart the computer, and if you find that you need one of the programs to start with windows, you can go back in and enable it again.
The Celeron 925 processor in your computer is a decent entry level processor, but if there are too many programs running in the background, it can bog down quick. I would also recommend downloading and running Malwarebytes Anti-malware, to be sure that there is nothing malicous running in the background.

Also not able to generate execution plan for this sql using explain plan- getting error(ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -)
Please help me in this issue...
How can i generate execution plan?
Does this type of XML based query will cause high GC wiat events and buffer busy wait events?
How can i tune this query?
How can i find that this is the only query causing High CPU usage?

I think xml schema is created already...and its progressing as you stated above. Please correct if i am wrong.

And i am really sorry if i am irritating you by asking all stupid questions related to xml.

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
http://thoughtsofmarcus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/leaving-password-blank-in-biztalk-2013.html
Another greate artcicle is by Nino which states these issues .SFTP adapter is protocol sensitive and some configuration by server side, can cause a lot of crazy situations

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.

What Causes High CPU Usage Even When PC is Idle
How can I fixed the high cpu usage on my pc?

High CPU Usage / Dropped Packets - Switch Blade WS-CBS3120X-S
Hi all,
I have a couple of Switches Blade 3120, working as active-standby model (HSRP) on a new site deployment. There are other 20 sites more or less, working on the same model, without issues. But in this one, we are seeing a high cpu usage. The traffic going through the platform is 600Mbps (on peaks), and in this case we have 40% of CPU usage. Traffic should be close to 3 Gbps. When we tried to send the whole traffic through the platform, active switch began to drop packets on the majority of interfaces.
When we analyze the CPU usage, there is a special process called "HL3U bkgrd proce" always have the most CPU use, but we do not know what concerns. We do not know if it is caused because there are PBRs configured. It should not matter. How I mentioned, there are other sites working fine and have had always the same PBR number.
Could you guys help us?. Any idea what is causing the high usage?. Is there a special debug we could to perform to diagnose the issue?. Also, we have seen a high interrupt CPU usage (9% in this case).
Find attached the whole diagnosis outputs.
Thanks for your assistance guys.
Cheers,
Juan Pablo

We recently configured a stack of four 48 port 3750-x switches . We are noticing high CPU usage. "Hulc LED process" seems pretty high.
This has coincided with VMware servers getting slow and non-responsive at times, perhaps a coincidence, not sure.
Below I provided some outputs that might help to diagnose it
Thanks
John

I was aware of the many ACLs however we used to have the same ACLs in a previous 3750G stack about 2 weeks ago and we never had this issue. I agree I need to optimize them and do somehing because it is reaching its max before the CPU starts processing them but I am not certain this is what is causing the issue.
Nikolay,
I am trying to understand "interrupts" with the analysis of the outputs I posted. Here is another output deom the link you provided. Please post your thoughts if you can.
This switch also serves as a gateway(L3 role) for many systems. Would it make sense to offload that responsability from this switch and let an actual router do it?
Thanks
Johnny

Mediaserver high cpu usage on Pre
I've finally narrowed my performance issues on the Pre 3 primarily to a high cpu load caused by the process "mediaserver". If I manually kill this process the phone speeds up significantly, and it doesn't seem to affect anything if the browser is closed. I suspect one of the spawners of this task is Flash; streaming video also likely triggers it. Closing all cards after the high load begins doesn't help; the process must be terminated manually. I hope that an update will arrive for the Pre 3 that fixes the performance (and high memory usage) along with complete Skype / bluetooth phone integration and other bluetooth fixes. At this point I'm torn between the great Pre 3 hardware and just switching to a Pre 2.
Has this been something that just recently started happening, or have you had this issue for a while? Have you installed any new programs recently?
You may want to download Glary Utilities, which is a free software(they will ask you if you want to go Pro, just say no, the free version works very well). There is a module for startup manager. You can go in and disable stuff that starts with the computer. I would advise unchecking adobe, java, quicktime, printers, etc. Anything that doesn't REALLY need to start with the computer. The nice thing with Glary is that you can restart the computer, and if you find that you need one of the programs to start with windows, you can go back in and enable it again.
The Celeron 925 processor in your computer is a decent entry level processor, but if there are too many programs running in the background, it can bog down quick. I would also recommend downloading and running Malwarebytes Anti-malware, to be sure that there is nothing malicous running in the background.

I hope somebody had some idea what could be causing the high cpu usage.
RegardsHas this been something that just recently started happening, or have you had this issue for a while? Have you installed any new programs recently?
You may want to download Glary Utilities, which is a free software(they will ask you if you want to go Pro, just say no, the free version works very well). There is a module for startup manager. You can go in and disable stuff that starts with the computer. I would advise unchecking adobe, java, quicktime, printers, etc. Anything that doesn't REALLY need to start with the computer. The nice thing with Glary is that you can restart the computer, and if you find that you need one of the programs to start with windows, you can go back in and enable it again.
The Celeron 925 processor in your computer is a decent entry level processor, but if there are too many programs running in the background, it can bog down quick. I would also recommend downloading and running Malwarebytes Anti-malware, to be sure that there is nothing malicous running in the background.

Since 10.4.6 Update: "ATSServer" with high CPU-usage when opening PDFs
Since I've updated to 10.4.6 my system is very slow when I open PDFs (in "Preview" or "Acrobat").
This is caused by the process "ATSServer" which goes through every file in "~/Library/Fonts" (I have over 4.800 files there - but just a view are activated by "FontBook") and so it takes very high CPU-usage.
I didn't have this problem bevore the update and I didn't make any changes on my font settings.
I've cleaned the font cache, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Ciao

PowerBook G4 17'' 1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)I haven't noticed any change myself, Dan, but I have the 2 GHz model.
One thing I HAVE noticed though after OS updates is that they can often result in a fair amount of file and free space fragmentation immediately after installation. OSX's routines will deal with fragmentation of small files , but not of large ones (over 20 Meg), and it won't deal very effectively with free space fragmentation. If your HD is getting full this can cause significant slowdowns, especially where video is involved.
You should also run DiskUtility and check for any directory and permissions issues.

SBS 2011 - High CPU usage - Help me Microsoft forums! You're my only hope!
My company supports a client that has a SBS 2011 server. For about the past year, we've been fighting a recurring issue with performance on this server. There are about ten local users and four remote users. The server's CPU idles at
about 60%-80% but is usally running when under *any* load from 80%-100%. If you do anything on the console, it will stay pretty much at 100%. These are not power users by any means. The server is utilized for file/printer sharing, Exchange
2010, and one flat file database application (non-SQL). SharePoint is not utilized.
Needless to say, our client is frustrated. When opening files, using their database application, or doing anything Exchange-related, there is a large amount of lag on the client side. First, here are the server's specs:
Make:Dell PowerEdge T420
OS: SBS 2011 Standard SP1
CPU: 2 - Intel Xeon E5-2407
Memory: 32GB
RAID: RAID 1 - Operating System (C:)/Data Volume (E:) | RAID 5 - Data Volume (D:)
Here is what we have tried to resolve this to finality:
* Doubled resources - Initially the server had a single physical processor and 16GB of memory. While these specs alone should have been fine, and were fine when the server was installed, we had periods of time where the server would just sit all day at
100% usage. We doubled the resources and while this seemed like it would fix the issue, we are still seeing abnormally high processor usage.
* Removed all monitoring tools, antivirus, and backup software - As part of our testing, we removed our monitoring agent (LabTech) and antivirus (GFI Vipre). Mozy is utilized for an off-site backup so that was disabled. No dice.
* Verified updates - We made absolutely sure the server was 100% patched.
* Malware/Virus/Rootkit checks - We have ran scans checking for any potential issues with security.
* Ran MBSA and MBCA to fix any issues with the server's configuration.
There is no single process which is using all of the CPU, or we would simply be able to narrow it down. Our calls to Microsoft support have yielded no answers. The last call ended with Microsoft stating that a SBS server should always be running
at high CPU usage. Meanwhile, we have many other clients with less-beefy servers, with more users, who have no issues like these.
So, I'm turning to you all. I will gladly provide logs, configuration settings, even remote assistance sessions if you all can help shed some light on what might be causing my issues.
Thank you!Some comments/ideas:
How long was the server running after this screenshot? I ask because store.exe is only got a 1GB of RAM which is really low - it should grab most of the RAM within a few hours.
The server was up for about 12 hours. I believe an adjustment was made before to limit the Exchange memory usage.
Strange that SearchIndexer (wsearch service) is so high although that may be a startup condition.
The LT* processes seem to be a 3rd party monitoring tool - no idea why it would ever need that much CPU though (I thought you disabled this?).
We had, but we cannot go forever without monitoring our client's server. It has been pulled off in the past and results on performance are pretty much the same.
The taskmgr process run by amnet_admin has used a lot of total CPU Time. What is it? (can't see the command line).
That's the user I was logged in as when I took the screenshot. Even the task manager seems to eat up the CPU.
The sqlserver process right above it is also busy - may want to look at the command line and figure out which SQL database that is (SBS has 3 - WSUS, Sharepoint, and SBS monitoring)
I believe that's the SharePoint database. They don't currently use their site. Would you recommend a removal and reinstallation? I would not completely remove as I know SBS doesn't like you removing parts of the complete package.
Strange that vds.exe is 10% - that is the interface to the disk management interface IIRC. Perhaps your monitoring service has gone awry here - definitely lose it.
I'll see about pulling it off and I'll see if there are any improvements.
