LibreOffice causes CPU to Hit 100%

Has anyone else noticed this? On my machine, Libre Office (which I use quite a bit) is causing one or more cores on my laptop to hit 100%. When I run top, The process "oosplash.bin" is taking up most of the CPU, and is running in three instances. Have you guys seen this too?

I have iTunes 10.4 and every time I open it my CPU usage hits 100%. How do I stop this?

I have iTunes 10.4 and every time I open it my CPU usage hits 100%. This makes my computer really slow and almost unusable. How do I stop this? Another effect is that I cannot log onto the iTunes Store. I click on it and it says it is loading the iTunes store but the window remains blank.

So do I!

CPU usage hits 100% during FIFO read

I have a real time PC with a 7833R RIO board. I write values which I read from a microphone into a FIFO at a sampling rate of 4 kHz.The length of the FIFO is 2048. On the real time PC, when I call "FIFO read" function to read say 400 samples of data, the CPU utilization of the real time PC hits 100%. Why is this so? The "FIFO read" function is placed inside a while loop.
Thanks

Hello Prashant,
Jaared had given good link to work on.. I suggest about time syncronisation on FIFO read and write..
Consider following case:
B is the data written to the FIFO at F1 frequency and read at F2 frequency
then, time taken to write to the FIFO = B/F1 ;
data read from the FIFO in this time=(B/F1)* F2;
If F1>F2 (write freq>read freq)
The Excess data remained unread = B- (B/F1)* F2;
If F2>F1 (read freq>write freq)
The lack of data for syncronisation = (B/F1)* F2 -B;
The above can help you in designing of synchronised FIFO
Apart from that please use time out also based on above calculation with time

CPU constantly hitting 100%

Hi Experts,
we are facing CPU 100% usage, it is constantly hitting 100%.
what I did was:
checked for any blocking, no blocking session found.
identified the long running query, user killed it as it was creating lot of issues.
Now,
The server with which issue is having 7 instances with 72 GB RAM.
SQL Version is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5770.0 (Intel X86) Dec 29 2011 14:25:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (WOW64) (VM).
I have googled, found the answers what I did, but not for many instances on single server.
how to figure out which one(OUT OF 7 INSTANCES) is using up all CPU.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can use Performance Monitor as explained on the following resources:

Evenlog viewing causes CPU usage 100% on Windows server 2008 SP2

We have Windows server 2008 SP2 with strange behaviour. When I scroll down events in eventlog viewer CPU usage hits 100% and eventlog viewer freeze. CPU usage is split between 2 processes SVCHOST.EXE (lmhosts, eventlog and Dhcp services) and MMC.EXE.
1)I tried to replace eventlog files with new ones. That didn’t helped
2)After server clean boot problem still exist.
3)When CPU hits 100% usage process explorer shows that from SVCHOST.EXE process CPU is used by service EventLog.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Santosh
I re-installed VMware
tools and also configured VMXNET 3 - nothing changed :(
Sorry to hear that.
Windows event log service has couple of dependencies i.e. task scheduler and windows event collector service. Can try restrating those services ?
In addition to above, try following steps
Change NTFS permission of %WINDIR%\System32\WinEvt\Logs directory, add Local Service and
Network Service, give them FULL permissions.
Stop and Start event viewer service by running following command
net stop eventlog && net start eventlog
Issues like this might occur if the disk (FC or iSCSI SAN or even NAS) has some inconsistencies , this is true in case of both physical and virtual machines
You might want to try running chkdisk as well on the server in question

If nothing helps, try inplace upgrade of the Operating system as an last option.

Oracle Database 11.2.0.1.0 CPU hit 100% on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit Hyper-V

Oracle Environment Detail:
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition :11.2.0.1.0 (NON RAC, No failsafe)
O/S:     Windows 2008 R2 64 bit (6.1)
Specifics: Virtual Server using Hyper-V
Memory: 9 GB RAM
Processor: E5540
Specific about the issue:
I have two database instance created on this server with ‘memory_target=3600M’ each.
I am getting into an issue where I find NO activity on database except regular schedule job running using DBMS_SCHEDULER –
•     Database FULL export DAILY schedule time 7 & 7:30 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 15-20 mins each)
•     Database FULL RMAN DAILY schedule time 9 & 10 PM accordingly for both instance (takes about 35-40 mins each)
This was set up on Feb 25th 2011. Since then we have encounter CPU hit 100% TWICE in this system at around 8:30 PM (SAME TIME). Both database instance exports keep running and never finish. While RMAN schedule job has NO problem. Mostly everything runs every smoothly without any issue.
Replicate the issue:
I am unable to replicate this issue and do not know the cause of the issue.
Work Around:
Oracle services shutdown/Server reboot.
Would anyone know about this issue? Have any information could help? This system will become production soon and want to make sure we have solution for this.
Thanks in advance!

I am finding that CPU hit 100% is very specific to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp) used to take FULL database export. I understand Original Export is desupported from general use as of 11g but available for specific need.
Have anyone faced this issue with 11.2.0.1.0 Export Utility (exp)? Please help.
I have a need to use export utility which gives us migration options.
Thanks!

CPU Hitting 100% +Screen flickering/Flashing

Hi folks, i wanted some help with a problem i started having recently!
My processor seems to be hitting 100% for about 5secs or until that precise folder with .mp4 files fully loads up (when i access .mp4 files), but when i convert them, the screen just flashes/Flickers, until conversion finishes.
I installed Need for speed undercover on my laptop 2months back, ive played it, and now i try to play it the screen flickers once, twice, and it minimises soon as i start to play the game, when i click on the tab again it'll come up for about a minute of my gaming time, and then same problem again it loads up fine, only at times when it loads up this happens, but most the time it's when i start playing the game, due to that i cant exactly play that game no more, until i get this problem fixed.
The system remains quiet but the processor hits 100% and then the problem starts.
what could the problem be???
i would be grateful for any help given.
Thanks

I rang up Toshiba, and it turned out to be the graphics chip problem.
This model had this problem because the bios settings were not correctly set therefore causing the computer a lot of strain.
Laptops with this problem have an extra year of warranty.
Anyhow problem is now sorted; they had to change the motherboard to sort the whole problem out because the chip is soldered onto it.
Thanks

Putting ActiveX(packager) in CTabCtrl will cause CPU increase up to 100%

Putting ActiveX(packager) in CTabCtrl will cause CPU increase up to 100%, and the whole system hangs.(When the test application loses its focus).
Could you tell me why?
Thanks.

How did you "reinstall?" Others are reporting that installing from scratch is working better. If you're going to keep trying with Lion, I'd recommend posting in the Lion forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion (wow, I almost said "Windows forum," hmmm ).
I may get in at 7.1, more likely at 7.2, but only if things look like they've changed enough. This appears to me to be on par with the change from 9 to X, and I waited until 10.2.3 with that one. If/when I do change, I'll have an up to the minute SL clone ready to reinstall if needed, and even then, I'll probably put 10.7 on an external HD.

MDNSResponer causing CPU to run at 100%

For a while now (ever since upgrade to 10.5) my computer seems to be always running its fan. It's very sluggish and many other problems. So, today I finally decided to start the activity monitor and take a look at things. Low and behold my processor is pegged out at 100%. The guilty parting seems to be a process named "mDNSResponder".
Anybody know what this process is and why it constantly has my computer CPU running at 100%, and what to do about it?
Thanks,
Rich

mDNSResponder is a process that searches and publishes content automatically. It's normal for it to be going non-stop in scanning IP networks. However, it should never take more than a 2-10% of your total CPU.
The MDNSResponder is just doing what's being asked of it. In short, there's an appllication/widget/etc. that's working at elevated rates. I was surprised, for example, that by signing up for Veoh, a small amount of bandwidth was being used - continually, without my knowing it - to support their whole network. The MDNSResponder helps achieve that. A network filter does the same thing. There is some service which is doing the same thing with your computer. It's magnified if you operate in Low Power Mode, since the stream of data just doesn't stop. It operates at elevated levels when an application (like iTunes) boots.
Find the application, and then decide if you're paying a fair price. You can do your own policework by playing around with Activity Monitor (which also uses it).

S5200UK more than meets Min Requirements for Win7 but slow and CPU peeking at 100% during IE or NIS

Hi everyone! Previously my S5200UK was upgraded from 1GB RAM to 2GB with a newer BIOS of V3.21
(See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Can-I-increase-RAM-size-if-I-upgrade-the-BIOS/m-p/1302... )
Thanks to Paul Tikkanen's help then I got the machine working fabulously but thanks to Microsoft's decommisioning of XP I decided to upgade to Windows 7 professional. The minimum requirements are 1GHz CPU and 1GB RAM. My AMD CPU is 2.08GHz but its performance is 2.6GHz equivalent. The RAM is 2GB and I have upgraded the HDD to a new Seagate SSHD SATA 1TB hybrid (with 8GB SSD incorporated). I used the exact drive on another machine a dx2000mt and WOW what a difference to boot speed (30sec) 1min with programs installed and data restored. (and that is usable desktop). I also fitted the ATI Radeon 9600 LE 128 MB AGP graphics card as recommended by Paul and a new 500W supply. I did not expect any problems as the 7 upgrade (clean install) on the dx2000mt went like a dream. Anyhow, this is the problem. After installing windows, all the updates and Norton Internet Security (NIS) the machine uses 100% processor and 25% RAM as I attempt to open NIS or use Internet Explorer. I can hear the CPU fan speed up every time it executes any small task and CPU shoots to 100%. With opening NIS there are two nis.exe processes using 50% CPU each! Any small demand of a program results in ultra slow operation. I put Win 7 on my old laptop with 1.5GHz CPU and 2GB RAM and that is great! I cannot believe that this S5200UK machine is limited by the CPU or RAM as it more that meets the requirements. I have obviously installed drivers (most came with Windows 7 and the others from a driver update program). There are no warnings or conflicts in the Device Manager and I have tried reinstalling everything again twice but it is always the same. I even tried changing the HDD to an IDE 80GB 7200rpm one but it was even slower! I also tried removing the graphics card but no change.Oddly I ran a performance test progam and, other than the memory, it came out better that the dx2000mt!!!! Has anyone got any suggestions as to what is causing this?
PS: The o/s is OEM for refurbished pcs on genuine hologram disk (no service pack but this was done via Windows Update) I will be very grateful if anyone out there can save my bacon. Thanks.

Hi:
The only recommendation I can offer based on what you have posted, would be to ditch the Norton Internet Security software and just run it with Microsoft Security Essentials.
That free antivirus/antimalware software uses very few system resources.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5201
You would also need to use the Norton uninstall tool to make sure it cleans out all traces of the program.

History of Processes - how to view which process caused CPU spike?

We have been facing an issue with a domain controller (Windows Server 2008 R2, VM on ESX 5.0) over the past week. Around twice a day, the CPU spikes at 100% for about 10 minutes. We notice because we receive an alert from the hypervisor, but by the time we can actually log in to check what process is causing it, it would have come back to normal. There doesn't seem to be any pattern re times, its quite erratic. Sometimes at 08:00AM, sometimes at 01:00AM, 4:00AM, 7:00PM, etc. Also nothing in the Event Logs.
It's not a big deal but I just want to know if I can somehow record theprocess history, to see which process was stuck at 100% at a certain time. I know about Performance Monitor (perfmon) but it doesn't really meet my requirements since it doesn't record the actual processes (e.g. AV.exe, svchost.exe, chrome.exe, etc).Any...

You might check with your apps' developers to see if they support AppleScript, Automator, or other scripting languages that might be used for this. Some programs have built-in macro and scripting options that can be set up in a built-in editor or run in a built-in command-line environment of sorts, while others supply libraries for external scripting with AppleScript and others.
As for live tracing of a program's commands, most that you use will be coded in a low level language like C, C++, Java, or Objective-C, which are compiled and run in binary machine code as opposed to an interpreted language (one that does not need compiling to run), as is the case with most scripting languages (shell scripts, AppleScript, Matlab, etc.).
For the most part, the only options you have for "tracing" a program's functions are to monitor output that it might log to the console. You can see this by opening the console, but the output here is diagnostic in nature and is programmatically limited to what the programmers have intended be output (ie, things like warnings and errors, as opposed to every action the program is taking). You can also use the Terminal to directly launch a program's executable so it is hosted in the Terminal shell. This will give you direct access to all of the program's output, as opposed to that only intended for logging in the Console, but it is still not the same as a full output of the commands and routines the program is performing.
Some of Apple's developer tools can allow you to better monitor a program's functions, but these are intended for developers, and have some requirements, and will not allow you to use any results for productivity automation.

FireFox CPU goes to 100% by backgroundshift

Sorry for my bad english..
Running a simple scrollroutine my cpu use is low :

Hello,
if you have your note for a year or more and did not take it for an internal heatsink clean and essentials parts, yet.
One possible problem here is: Heatsink blocked with dust (CPU goes to 100% state svchost takes all resources)
90% of the high temperatures problems, unexpected shutdowns, 100%CPU all the time without running background processes, very hot keyboard area, freezing programs, are caused by the heatsink blocked with dust.
The normal temperature for the processor is between 55C and 79C. For the motherboard is around 55C~60C. When the heatsink is blocked those temperatures can reach 99C (processor) and around 80C (motherboard). Measure in Celsius degrees.
You can check it out how "hot" your Qosmio is.
Download the Everest ultimate 2006 edition V 3.50.761, look for it with Google search.
Run it and see the temperatures for CPU, Processor and motherboard on your Qosmio:
See:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmioeverest.jpg
Run the System stability test (find it under tools menu) for 10 minutes aprox.
Watch the temperatures at taskar. If it reachs more than 92C for the processor on stress mode, its time to clean the heatsink and all essential parts of your Qosmio. Attempt to the processor fan RPM, too, if they run fast and noisy, you really must perform a clean.
But it depends on the ambient environment, for a 30C summer day the processor temperature almost get the 90C. this is normal in stress mode. And the fans run without noise. Slow RPM mode.
All measured in Celsius degrees, for Farenheith please convert it.

CPU goes to 100% state svchost takes all resources on Qosmio F10

CPU goes to 100% state svchost takes all resources. Norton does not find any illegal software. Have tried to list the processes (run... etc.). I get a long list, don't know what to do about it. Does anybody out there have some help?

T410s with extremely poor performance and CPU always near 100% usage

Hi,
I've had my T410s for almost a year now and lately its been starting to get extremely slow, which is odd since it used to be so fast.
Just by opening one program, Outlook, or IE or Chrome, just one window, it will start to get extremely slow and on task manger I can clearly see the CPU usage at 100% or very near.
Also another thing I noticed was the performance index on the processor dropped from 6.8 to 3.6!!!
I did a clean Windows 7 Pro 64Bit install, I have all Windows and Lenovo updates installed and the problem persits
What is happening and what should I do??
Thank you
Nuno

thank you again for your answer,
I've done that but hard drive health is also ok as you can see from the screenshot.
IAt the time of the screenshot I had just fineshed to boot up the laptop and it wasnt hot at all.
I am getting desperate here, I am unable to work with my T410s

Space designer causing cpu spike overload

Hope you guys can help with this, it's beginning to annoy me. I'm currently unable to use space designer reliably. I had this problem in Logic 8 and it's still happening in 9. I have one instance of SD in my current project and it's causing cpu spikes that are giving me errors. The funny thing is that the error happens just after a region that is being sent to the reverb has ended. the cpu meter then gradually rises until the error stops playback. If I turn SD off i don't get these problems or if I disable SD via automation when it's not needed it seems ok also. What the **** is this about? The thing is I really like the sound of SD and miss it when I have to use different reverbs. Anyone else having these issues? I read on another thread that setting all your inputs to "no input" helps but for me it doesn't. What else can I try?
cheers
p

Thanks for your input.
Just to clarify, I am getting the spike once the audio data stops sending through the SD plugin (whilst the song is still playing). So, for example I may send a 10 second bit of audio through the plug - this works fine. Then once the audio stops sending and the reverb trail finishes....I then get the CPU going mad - and yet there is complete silence within the song - there is nothing else playing!
This has got to be a bug or conflict of some kind - my computer spec is massive and should be able to cope with a stereo bit of audio through one plugin! (Hope this makes sense.)
There have been a couple of posts similar but no answers as yet...
Wondering whether it is a conflict with UAD plugins or something which limits the reproduction of this bug...I have noticed that if I remove all UAD plugins from the channel strip in question, the error tends not to reappear - but the issue is unique to the SD plugin.
