MSI FX5500 128Mb 100%CPU usage problem

Hi,
i have a LANPARTY UT nF3 250Gb mobo and a Atlhon 64 1800+ 512ddr and a MSI FX5500 128Mb with Windows XP SP2, and i'm having too much cpu usage(between 70/100%)..the strange part of this is that i'm having this huge cpu usage when system is at desktop without anything runing (programs..games..).. and no.. its no virus/adware/spyware.. because i've format my system and only install windows and mobo drivers(nf3 drivers) and ofcourse nvidia Display drivers nothing else..
if anyone could help me i appreciate because this slows down my computer a little bit.. :S

its weird..because in task manager in processes separator, there is no process using too much cpu, but in performance separator it shows CPU between 70/100% of usage.. i will try to post a screenshot soon as i can to show to you..
btw.. could this be solved or its my graphic card damaged?
tks

  • Windows98 100% cpu usage, any fix?

    Hi,
    Any fix available for the 100% cpu usage problem in Windows 98, or do we have to wait untill 8.1.7 for Win98 and hope that it works in that version?
    regards,

    This issue can be caused by confliction from one of the background programs. You may troubleshoot in Clean Boot Mode.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    However if the issue persists in Clean Boot Mode, I suggest you click the Start Button, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).  If the issue does not reoccur, it may be caused by an IE Add-on. In that
    case, let’s continue to perform the following steps to narrow down the cause.
    Check Internet Explorer Add-Ons
    =========================
    1. Click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
    2. Click the "Programs" tab, and then click Manage Add-ons.
    3. Select an add-on in the Name list, and then click Disable.
    4. Restart IE with Add-ons and check the issue again.
    If the issue is resolved, the disabled Add-on was the cause of the issue. If the issue reoccurs, continue to disable the next Add-on using the same method.
    By doing so, we could determine which Add-on contributed to the issue.
    If it does not help, please reset IE and see if it works.

  • MSI KT6 Delta LSR SATA to PATA High CPU Usage Problem

    Well recently I've switch to my one of my other motherboards on my network to a MSI KT6 Delta LSR, it was working fine after a reformat, but I notice a few problems and that is 100% cpu usage for SATA to PATA, and vice versa, which seems really crazy. Then my network card performance is ISDN speed sluggish, and I tested my line to be working 100% with another mobo. But when I put another NIC on the same mobo it suffers the same speed problems.
    Any suggestions? The rig is specs:
    Barton 2500+
    Antec QuietPower 350W
    200GB Seagate SATA HDD
    40GB Seagate PATA HDD

    Pioneer 107D DVD Writer
    LG 16X DVD-ROM
    56K Modem (A-open)

    Shouldn't say what I don't know about SATA, but since I found below, I need ask if VIA 4in1 drivers are installed, preferably while in SafeMode I say:

    I recently installed 160g Seagate barracuda 7200.7 drive on SATA port. (I enabled the Bios using Auto) I have a P4I865pea-6al mother board, with two PATA drives . When copying files between the PATA drives on ide ports, to or from, the SATA drive, I notice the CPU usage goes up to 100%, but when copying files from one ide drive (the PATA drives) to another the CPU usage is very low.  
    Is there a bios setting that will allow me to copy files from the SATA drive to the Pata drives using a small amount of CPU power, found when just copying between the Primary and Secondary IDE drives? I am using Adobe premiere pro, which uses a lot of CPU power, and the high CPU usage of the SATA drive crashes this program? Any help would be appreciated

  • 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

  • My laptop (win7 2ghz, 1gig) has 100% cpu usage with itunes installed (even when not running itunes) since the upgrade.  i had to uninstall.  tried installing but still the same problem.  my daughter wants the new ipad, but this is a serious problem.

    when itunes upgraded my laptop went to 100% cpu usage.  only solution was uninstall.  have tried itunes again as my daughter wants the new ipad.  still same problem tho so not keen to spend £400 on new pad without pc support.  anyone help?  (ps been using ipod touches 1 and 2, been great source of pleasure for my two girls, but cant sync them, so using the little shuffles for music, syncing to an old version of itunes on an old netbook - had the sense to switch off upgrades when the new version went wrong)

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • 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.
    thanks

  • 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
    they always started with a new preference file, they couldn't duplicate
    the problem that was obvious to me.

  • 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.

  • Shockwave Flash 11.6.602.168 100% CPU usage

    Hi,
    Our computer has 100% CPU usage every time we get in websites that utilize Flash, or watch youtube.
    Browser: FF 19.0
    Flash 11.6.602.168
    Computer: HP Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz, 3G memory, up-to-date BIOS and other drivers.
    Graphic card: EVGA GeFprce 6200
    Windows 7 32 bits
    This window is freshly installed, has AVG on. We do not have many software's installed, except MS Office. All fans and CPU are clean. The computer runs fairly fast: we tried opening multiple FF tabs simultaneously, plus Excel, Word, Solitaire etc. without any problems. However, whenever we get into websites with Flash, the CPU uasage goes to 100% and stays there. Memory usage has always been stable, around 30%. We have tried the following steps, but it hasn't gotten better:
    - Turned off all applications, opened only one tab with that website.
    - Updated all drivers and applications: FF, Flash, Graphic card etc.
    - Turned ON and OFF hardware acceleration for both Flash and FF, also tried to turn one On, the other OFF, and vise versa.
    - Disabled all add-on's, extensions and Plug-in's, except Flash.
    - Uninstalled and reinstall FF and Flash; restarted several times.
    - Temporarily turned OFF protected mode.
    - Uninstalled FF, Flash, then installed IE 9, then Flash for IE: didn't work.
    - Uninstalled IE 9, Flash, then installed IE10 then reinstalled Flash for IE: also didn't work.
    - We do not keep browsing history.
    Examples of websites that we have had problems with: pbskids.org, barbie.com, and other school websites for kids to do homework or watch youtube.
    While in many websites such as CNN.com, yahoo.com, when we opened it, the CPU usage did spike, but came back to 1-5% within 5 seconds.
    This computer is for our kids. Do we really need to buy an i5 or i7 computer so the kids can play and do homework? Or is there any other way that we can do?
    Thank you

    Moving to the Using Flash Player forum, as this isn't specific to the Beta.
    In the Youtube video, if you right-click and choose Show Video Info, it will show you whether you're using Hardware Acceleration for both Video Rendering and Video Decoding.
    If you're seeing Software Rendering and/or Software Decoding and you're watching a high-def video, it's going to use a ton of CPU.
    Do you see similar behavior in other browsers?  (Chrome, IE)  The Flash Player distributions are actually quite different for each browser.  It would be an interesting data point.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Server 2012R2 Windows backup 100% CPU usage and no backup

    Hello!
    I have a problem with two VM´s on a HP Proliant ML350p Gen8, that has Windows Server 2012R2 operating system with Hyper-V role installed.
    Both VM´s are also 2012R2, one is DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT and the other one is Exchange 2013.
    The problem itself is that, when Windows backup (wbengine.exe - Block level backup engine service) inside VM starts, it uses almost maximum CPU resource, so the VM´s CPUs are 100% used. Backup itself is not working, there is no network trafic. Only
    way to get rid of 100% CPU usage is to restart the server.
    When i start backup manually (Backup once - scheduled backup options), it is working and the CPU usage is around 20-30%.
    One VM (DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT) has 2x vCPU and Exchange has 4x vCPU.
    The problem started suddenly, the backup were performing slowly and failed.
    Backups are scheduled on different time. Host level Hyper-V backup of VM´s works without any problem.
    The backup location is Synology DS414 NAS and the servers are set up using iSCSI, for connecting separate backup lun´s for each server.
    The Hyper-V host and both VM´s are patched up-to-date. Ofcourse i have tried a lot of restarts, looking event log, VSSADMIN - cannot find any errors...
    The network setup:
    Hyper-V host has a team of two physical adapters, that is set up with a external virtual switch (shared with management operating system) and used by the VM`s normal network trafic.
    Hyper-V host itself is using separte physcial network card, for connecting with iSCSI to Synology NAS.
    I tried to set up another physical network card on the host and create a new virtual swich, add extra virtual nic to VM`s and use this for iSCSI traffic for Windows backup and it didnt make things better.
    I need to find a solution, because i cannot restart the server every night for the backups to work.

  • K7N420 100% cpu usage

    Apologies in advance for a long post but I'm stretched beyond my technical abilities to solve this thing. I was running a virus scan a week ago (no issues, it had just been a long time since I ran one) and while I was away the machine restarted itself when it shouldn't have. It was waiting at the redhat login (dual boot XP and redhat) when it should have been waiting to tell me the scan was done in XP. It never booted properly again. The HD reported fatal unrecoverable errors. I bit the bullet and replaced the drive with a Maxtor 80G 7200rpm drive and loaded XP Pro with no issues. Loaded Norton, updated it twice and proceeded for Windows updates. No issues, device manager has no conflicts. HOWEVER, the machine is running no apps (they aren't even installed!) and taskmanager reports 100% cpu usage and no processes running except system idle which jumps from 97 to 99% repeatedly. Somehow I managed to revive the original drive (wrote zeroes to it and ran scandisk several times and it reports no errors now) and tried it with the same problem. I've gone so far as to install 98se (yuck) on the original WD drive and it is using about 28% cpu, again with virtually nothing installed. I ran stinger off a floppy as well as Norton several times so the drives and MBR would appear to be clean. The RAM is appearing properly on both OS's and always no applications running and no processes showing as using anything. I'm stumped.
    Any advice is welcome.

    GlennVidia, first thanks for helping this dumbass out. I ran the memtest overnight with no issues. I just reinstalled XP on the new Maxtor drive. I am using the 2.03 drivers. I just installed PCAlert and it shows the following voltages: Vcore: 1.74, 3.3 is at 3.34, 5 is at 5.03 and 12 is at 12.18 with a cpu temp of 118F. I have installed no other apps including anti-virus. The cpu usage is bouncing between 44% and 65% cycling every second...you can set a clock to it. (Hopefully that triggers someone's memory?) No processes showing as using resources in task manager besides system idle and an occasional hit for task manager itself. Device manager has no issues. I changed the ide cable and reseated all cables to and from the mobo.
    You mention usb...I'm not using any usb devices but will gladly kill it in DM if that is what you are suggesting for a test run.
