High disk usage and cpu

hi, sorry about my english first.
I bought new lenovo ideapad Z400 touch 2 month ago with win8.
last week i upgraded to win 8.1 and recover back to win 8 , since then i have some problems.
When I have the Task Manager open, I sometimes notice the disk usage climbing to 50, 75, or 100 percent, even though there's scarcely any disk activity going on, the laptop's fan is working hard and very noisy and , my proccesor speed is jump high without any progrems on.
I tried almost anything, cheacked for viruses, disable al unneccesry startup progrems, clean boot, buy it still the same.
please help.

KDE 4.7: very slow and high disk usage

Since upgrade to KDE 4.7 on my i686 laptop, my system behaves weirdly. I noticed a slow down caused by a very high disk usage: when the HDD spins the cpu usage reported by the CPU monitor plasmoid is very high (~ 50%), while top reports a very small CPU load. Another strange symptom is that, when I try to close the session, the system freezes for about 15 seconds before the logout/shutdown/restart dialog window appears, again with HDD spinning furiously. If I exit the dialog window and then try to close session again it works smoothly, so I think some caching is at work at second try.
This is very painful since it slows down my workflow. Since now I tried to:
- disable nepomuk, strigi and all that using the nepomukcontroller plasmoid
- disable compositing
- delete .kde folder
- uninstall and reinstall all kde packages
without any benefit. On the same laptop I have dual boot with a 64 bit arch installation, which does not have the same problem, nor has it my 64 bit desktop pc.
Does anyone have similar issues? I don't understand what is it that makes the HDD spin so much, nor how to eventually track it down (are there som HDD usage profiling utilities?). Moreover, why top and CPU usage plasmoid report so different CPU usage stats?
I'm very confused, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Although I'm not having any of the issues as Snack, I have found KDE 4.7.0 to be a very horrible release. In fact, I'm sick and tired of the KDE release notes bragging about killing thousands of bugs each release, when in actuality the first few revisions of each stable release are horrible. When I first upgraded, I ran into at least four really nasty bugs. Although I've worked around some of them, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. Here is what I've experienced:
1.) With a new user or fresh install, there is no wallpaper by default, even if I install kde-wallpapers before I log in, it makes no difference.
2.) Sometimes kwin will crash during log out.
3.) Worse yet, if I exit a full screen game, it will more than likely crash Kwin. This is a problem on my laptop (which has intel video) and not my desktop (which has nvidia video). If I don't remember to disable desktop effects before opening a game, I may run into a problem.
4.) Although my performance is good, it's not great. I would think a laptop with a Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM would run faster than it is.
I have tested XFCE for a bit, and I do like it alot. However, with XFCE I am unable to browse Samba shares, and that is a huge problem. In addition, I find KDE's applications to be much better than what ships with XFCE, but I question whether they're worth the performance hit. I really love Kate, Gwenview, Digikam, and Amarok. I know you can install those in XFCE, but they feel out of place and then my desktop pretty much becomes a mutt. Not only that, but KDE is full featured, whereas XFCE is not. It's like I have to choose between a stable desktop or a desktop with full of bugs.
I hope that KDE 4.7.1 fixes everything, but historically it's usually the 4.x.2 release that really does the trick.

High disk usage/high memory usage.

i keep getting high memory usage and high disk usage in ps cs6.
its slow when i open a file. how can i solve this problem.
thank you.
philip.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but more than what? More RAM is almost always better, but you haven't answered most of the questions posed here. The answer might be different if you have 2 GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM already. A 9 megapixel document could get rather large with a lot of layers, but again you've neglected to give any hard info about its size.
Regarding your video card, that's a bit of a judgment call you need to make. For Photoshop CS6 I currently advise people to try to get a video card that gets a score of 1000 or better on this benchmark: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
Video card speed will matter when you're editing those 3D components and video card VRAM will also matter, but possibly even more importantly your GeForce 320 is a bit old, and nVidia may just not be doing their best driver work for it any more.
Everything in general will run more smoothly with a powerful modern video card. I like to recommend a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 7750 - or if the computer power supply and your budget allow, the even more powerful 7850. VisionTek does a very good job with their hardware, IMO, and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Keep in mind that if you switch from nVidia to ATI or vice versa, you should carefully sweep your system to ensure all files from the old card are removed, then visit the web site of the new card's maker and download/install their latest display driver release.
Best of luck.

RAM Issues + High disk usage on MSI GE60

Recently I've noticed that my system slowly eats up RAM. It starts off at 21% and can go as high up as 80% or more. When I'm playing games on it the RAM does not clear up properly either, it stays at 50% or so. This was an issue before that I somehow managed to solve, but it is back again.
As for high disk usage, that's been a problem since I've had the laptop.
OS: Windows 8
Processor: Intel Core i7 4700MQ (2.40GHz)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
RAM: 8GB Memory
HDD: 750GB
If you need more info I'll provide it.

If you open task manager-> performance -> open resource manager / you will see whats eating up your resources
if its windows see if indexing is off
did you installed 3rd party software diffrent than stock ?
how old is your laptop?
its not normal to have such high usage numbers !! i think its a program causing the problems !
if you check your resource manager you will be able to see whats causing it
ps if possible please post a screen shot and ill look into it

Slowed speed, freezes, high disk usage

After I have been on the computer for about 10-15 minutes, it starts to freeze and slow down. I get a high disk usage message from Norton saying that Windows Explorer Exe. is causing this. I also keep getting the same 5 updates even after I have installed them. I have a Compaq Presario SR5602FH Desktop PC Using windows home basic. Also the Hp updater does not open anymore.

Norton is pretty good but you still could have viruses. I don't think you do and I believe it is your hard drive going bad. I would try to run check disk and if your laptop has the utility partition, test your memory and hard drive.

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

High time consumption and CPU utilization on EPM 11.1.2.1

We are using a distributed environment for EPM system 11.1.2.0, in which, on system A, Foundation services and Planning have been installed and on system B, Essbase, Admin Services and Provider Services have been installed.
The configuration for the two systems is as mentioned below :
System A:
intel Xenon CPU X7560 2.27 GHz (dual core)
12 GB RAM
System B:
intel Xenon CPU X7560 2.27 GHz (dual core)
8 GB RAM
A business rule takes 15 minutes on being executed on version 9.3.1; whereas the time consumed on system 11.1.2.1 varies from 3 hours (mostly) to 10 minutes.
This business rule aggregates 5 dimensions (1 dense and 4 sparse). It does not create any new blocks and intelligent calc is also set to off.
Although the cache and memory values on the newer system are higher than the previous version, we fail to reduce the time consumption and CPU utilization. Please help us resolve this issue.

Your issues is beyond the scope of a forum. I suggest you find an infrastructure person who has Essbase experience. Your machines also have less resources than the standard deployment guide recommends.
This would appear to either be lack of physical memory or an issue with the IO speed of the disk subsystem which you are storing your Essbase data on.

U310 100% disk usage and lag

I have a Ideapad U310 which seem to lag and hang, for no good reason.
The disk usage keeps spiking to 100% (see below), which causes a lag of 2-3 seconds when swhitching from one window to another, opening the start menu or a folder (simple tasks)
There are no large programs running, Skype, Outlook and browsers primarily.
My system;
Core i7 - 3517U CPU @ 1.90 GHz
8 gb RAM
64 bit windows 8.1
Does anyone have any idea why?
Thanks!

Could this be caused by the SSD drive, drives etc? Or is it just some kind of win 8.1 feature?
I don't believe I am the only one with this issue?

Solaris 9 High Disk Usage

Hi,
I have an unusual problem with Solaris 9 servers I am responsible for. Occasionally a server will suffer from very poor performance, characterized by disk throughput ramping up to 100%. I figured there must be a process responsible for hogging the disk, so I first tried shutting down as many processes as I could. The problem is that the servers are distributed around the world, and I need to be careful not to stop so many processes that the server becomes unavailable. This did not yield a solution, so I found some tools to list disk usage by process. I found that when the disk usage is at 100%, there was very little process disk activity, so it was not possible to identify a guilty process. Strangely, one of the partitions affected (according to iostat) is the backup partition. The only solution I have found so far is to do a reboot.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
Thanks
Nick

Command to find the top unix processes doing high disk read and writes

I would like to know 'the unix command to find the top unix processes doing high disk reads or/and writes
If any one knows the solution please help me?

From the oracle side you can obtain OS process id for sessions having some waits for user I/O
select p.spid, s.sid, s.sql_id
from v$session s, v$process p
where s.paddr=p.addr
and s.sid in
select sid from v$session_wait
where wait_class='User I/O'
);and to see sessions that are currently waiting on user I/O use
select p.spid, s.sid, s.sql_id
from v$session s, v$process p
where s.paddr=p.addr
and s.sid in
select sid from v$session_wait
where wait_class='User I/O'
and wait_time=0

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...

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?
Regards,

Kernal Task Usage High - Disk Tab not CPU?

Greetings support community. My mac is running awfully slow. Often the fan gets loud - spinning beach balls - and apps stop responding all the time.
I'm look for some suggestion as I travel outside the US for work regularly and CANNOT risk loosing this MAC just yet. I have yet to attempt to reformat/repair but I know that is the next right step before I commit to buying a new device.
Below is a scan from EtreCheck. Can anyone help me decipher this?
I'm resisting panicing - I know this should be fixable I just need some guidance on where to start. Also see screen shot of activity monitor under disk tab - kernel tasks are using up 2 gbs! That has to be insanely wrong right?

So I ran the Disk Repair in safe mode & out of.
Both were very clean. See below.
I'm not sure where to go from here. It was running pretty nicely in safe mode - I didn't try to open a photoshop though which will usually slow up my machine.
But I did open my firefox when I went back out of safe mode and my whole thing froze up immediately as the first operation and required a force quit. UGH
I closed it down - restarted - tried with safari - I can browse (weird though that my airport is dimmed out but I still have full connection to my wifi)
My kernal_task tho seems to be way more in check since I verified disk - but I'm getting some spinning beach balls still and firefox not responded.
I dont have a....
Library/StartupItems or
System/Library/StartupItems
nor do i have a STARTUPitems folder in my private/var/run
I do have....
Library/LaunchDaemons: should i delete all these? or some?
com.adobefpsaud.plist     I dont store my adobe files in the cloud - is that what this is trying to prompt? should i delete?
com.adobe.switchboard.plist     ditto?
com.google.keystone.daenib.plist    huh?
com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist    whats this from office? why is that opening on start? should i delete?
com.oracle.java.helper-tool.plist     ??

com.wdc.SmartwareDriveService.plist    this is my backup - but I don't run that everyday.
com.wdc.wDSmartwareServiice.plist     ditto
In my System/Library/LaunchDaemons i have MANY com.apple......prompts - I'm assuming these are not meant to be deleted?
But outside of that there are a few extras (listed below) - should I delete these?

High Memory Usage and a few other problems

I install Oracle DB 11g R1 into a Window 2003 Server virtual machine (VirtualBox) running on Ubuntu Linux. I did just a "plain jane" install accepting most, if not all, the defaults. When I start the service though, the Mem Usage shoots to @ 400 megs and there are several java.exe's that are also running each with anywhere between 80 and 130 megs. Plus, its seems that they never seem to 'settle'; Oracle.exe and one of the java.exe's are always taking up basically 100% of the processor.
This is just CRUSHING my poor little machine.
Any way to throttle these guys back? I can reinstall if needed. Its not like I've done much with it yet.
Thanks!

Your 400M seems quite lightweight - probably based on a VM allocation of 1GB. You are starving the poor thing. You possibly missed this section in the Install manual before you did the install (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32006/reqs.htm#i1011417)
The database instance itself wants between 500M and 750M for the SGA for a minimum 'properly functioning' system.
Any user connections will want roughly 30-50M / connection, although that can vary wildly.
Enterprise Manager (DB Console), being Java (JEE) based, will gobble as much as you give it, and then some.
If you want to cut back, turn off the EM DB Console. If you do not want features, you could always perform a separate CUSTOM dbca creation without Java in the database and there are several other features that you could toss. 11g could probably limp along with as little as 350M. (You seem to be in the limping-along arena.)
And yes, the internals to Oracle Database do dictate fairly significant memory, CPU and disk (esp bandwidth) utilization. Your poor machine is being crushed because you have mismatched it to the load.

High disk usage on DB server

Hi All,
I have 4 four disks connected to my db server and on disk2, I found very high usage (above 90%) every time. I have only one tablespace BME_DATA on this disk and it has only one datafile.
There are only few tables (less than 50) that are stored in this tablespace but most of them are very huge in size (~ 500MB), and yes most of them have high DML activity also.
I am planning to create another datafile for BME_DATA on DISK3 so that load can be balanced. Please suggest if there is any better way to do the same.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi Alan,
What version database? have you analyzed the tables
and indexes associated with the datafile on this
disk? Has this problem recently started?I am using Oracle 9.2.0, and all the table including indexes were analyzed today. Recently I have loaded 1G+ of data into multiple tables and yes out of those tables are only causing the problem.
I have only table datafile (BME_DATA_01.dbf) to Diks2, index datafile is located on Disk1.
Now shall I go and add one more data file to Disk3 or is there any memory changes I can do to reduce the bottleneck on disk2.
Thanks again

How to get less memory usage and cpu usage in an old pc with arch?

hi, i installed archlinux sucessfully after some problems.
but the system use a lot of memory (free said me 184mb) only with irssi, finch, mp3blaster and midori opened and is "slower" than when i used slitaz linux in it, why?
well, the things that i installed in arch are:
xorg + xf86-video-intel
jwm
irssi, finch, mp3blaster, htop.
midori, opera, elinks, links-g, epiphany.
geany, leafpad, go-openoffice, djview4, gnumeric, epdfview
isomaster, inkscape, gpicview, cdrkit, mtpaint.
pcmanfm, emelfm2, hal.
octave, mathematica5, R, wxmaxima,gnuplot.
nrg2iso, lxsplit, dclock.
here is a screenshot:
the pc have this skills:
800mhz celeron 370

i've read i can disable the kernel modules that i don't need to improve the memory usage.
which modules i can disable without "kill my system"?. i don't want SATA, DVD, bluray, infrared, floppys, bluetooth, usb3.0, 3d video card, dial-up-integrated modem, ntfs, 'cause mi old is so old. i want it only for the university.
thanks in advantage for the tips, and sorry if someone can't understand very well that i wanna tell you, english isn't my "mother languaje".

thanks for the answers. yes, i have a 1 gb of swap.
i think i can reduce the memory usage of the system if i dissable the kernel modules that i don't use. but, the question is: what modules is safe to disable to get it?
thanks in advantage
