Satellite C670D-10W - Task manager shows 100% CPU usage

My brand new laptop with factory installed windows 7 and all programs by Toshiba nothing addded shows 100% processor usage in task Manager and works pretty slow. The sum of 80 odd processes shown in task manager never reaches more than 30-50 % but bottom line is always 100%.
Tried process hacker 2, shows same processes as task manager.
What can be the problem?

If you check this forum you will see that you can find many threads with the same or similar content. Many people have noticed the same after notebook purchase, especially phenomena that notebook is pretty slow. Just without panic. What you must do is to optimize preinstalled operating system.
What can be the problem?
Brand new notebook is preinstalled with original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, different Toshiba specific tools and utilities and some additional software like preinstalled McAffe or Norton antivir.
Many of these tools, utilities and additional software will start with operating system and run in the background. To be honest some of them can be deactivated, some of them can be also removed from the system. By default Windows update is set to automatic so when you go online all available windows updates will be installed automatically in the background and this will happen without your knowledge. This updates installation will make your HDD pretty busy and notebook operations will be slowed down.
I recommend you to change this option and set it to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install.....
I hope you understand what I want to say and if you have more questions you are welcome.

RT Sys Manager shows 100% CPU always

When using the RT System Manager, I have found that the CPU usage is always 100% - even when all loaded VIs are idle. The chart is segmented with yellow (normal priority) tasks and white (low priority tasks) - yellow on top.

Tommy,
What sort of target are you using?
If it is a FieldPoint or Compact FieldPoint RT Controller, this is the normal operation of the module. With FieldPoint RT controllers, there are two programs running simultaneously; the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and the IA Control Environment. The LabVIEW Run-Time engine is the portion that runs any LabVIEW code that you develop and download. The IA Control Environment is the program that reads/writes to the IO and publishes the data over ethernet (providing all NI Logos protocol based communication). The IA Control Environment is set to run at normal or low priority so that it shares time with your application (running in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine).
You can reduce the time being used by the IA Control Environment by setting the Pause parameter to a value other than 0 ms (valid values are 0 - 1000 ms). By setting the Pause parameter to a non-zero value, you place the control environment to sleep. This will slow down the rate at which new values are published and updates are applied. For example, setting the Pause parameter to 1000 ms means that the channels will be read and published over the network at 1000 ms intervals, potentially causing a delay in the notification of value changes, or the application of new values from write commands that were sent to the module. Note that FieldPoint Reads/Writes performed using the FieldPoint VIs running on code that was downloaded into the module is not effected by the Pause parameter. Alternatively, you can increase the thread priority of your downloaded VIs if you need the processor to spend more time on the LabVIEW code and less on the IA Control Environment.

Aaron

[GeForce 6] mpg shows 100% CPU Usage

Ever since I installed my new MSI NX6200 Graphic card, I havent been able to watch any of my mpg, mpeg, etc. files. I check the Task Manager, and it shows the player (let it be, Windows Media Player, RealOne, WinAmp, any1!) is using 100% of the CPU. What gives?
MSI NX6200 TD128
P4 1.8
60 GB Maxtor as System Drive
200 GB Seagate Drive
Creative Audigy Sound Card
Samsung SyncMaster 172x running on DVi
Windows 2000 SP4
512 RAM
(anything else needed?)
Everything is absolutely updated.
Games run fine, DVDs run fine, mp3s, name it, no problems whatsoever.
So really, what gives?
misterno

You're telling me!
I checked the Hardware Acceleration. Fine.
So... How could my video processor be faulty? I mean, can a faulty video processor really pick his "enemies"? Why only mpeg and mpg, and not anything else?
Forceware: 77.72
Video BIOS: 5.43.02.57.29
And er... Nvidia DVD Decoder? Should I install this? I don't know what that is, sorry... I don't see how a DVD decoder can change the way mpg files are perceived...
HEEEELP. Some1's gotta know! It's driving me nuts!!! (Maybe it has nothing to do with my new video card. Maybe it's something else???)

Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

Hey,
I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

100% CPU usage in DW CS5 when opening page...

Hi there, I'm new here!
I'm working on my site in DW and have already completed another site without having this problem. I open a *paticular* file, and my CPU usage goes to 100% when I use the split view. In code, DW runs fine, but as soon as it tries to render a preview (not in live mode) in the second pane, it starts going quickly between (notresponding) and very slow response. So it's slow or nothing!
This page is using some z-index in the CSS and flash, so I don't know if maybe it's just my processor speed isn't up to it?
I have tried it on my downstairs desktop (quad core, can't remember exact specs but could look it up, but it's faster than my ltop, obviously..), and it works slightly better. Does DW use scratch disks? Is there a way to turn off some CSS properties in the display to improve performance? I can work just in code for a lot of my work, but for placement it is much more intuitive to use a split view for me. HELP! (Please and thank you!)

I am having a similar problem with some files when working in split view. I have been experiencing slow performance and Dreamweaver goes into "Not Responding" state for 30-60 sec when I click somewhere (doesn't matter if I click in design or code portion) and also when I go to Undo something. This has happened in other files, too. Eventually it starts responding again but it is moving slowly. My task manager shows CPU and memory usage spiking up and down as well (specifically memory of Dreamweaver process).
Sometimes it does it when Dreamweaver is open and I am doing something in another smaller window in front of it too (such as writing an email)…
I had the task manager open and Dreamweaver (and nothing else) the other day, and Dreamweaver kept flashing back and forth to "Not Responding"… so I closed it and it made task manager freeze up so that it wouldn’t close and the task manager memory and CPU usage were spiking.
Specs on my machine:
HP xw6600 workstation
Windows Vista SP2 (32-bit)
Intel Xeon Processor (Quad-core, 2.33 GHz)
4 gigs of RAM
I am Running Dreamweaver CS5 with all updates installed
I have already tried the following:
Re-creating preferences file
Re-creating registry files
Re-creating personal config files
Uninstalling and Re-installing Dreamweaver
Running a Windows Live Care scan on my computer to check for viruses, registry file errors, etc.
The only thought I have is that I when I installed CS5, i didnt uninstall CS4 first, thinking that I could just upgrade...
When I went into add/remove programs Creative Suite CS4 still showed up in there, but the programs were not on my computer anymore. I removed it anyway, but there were still some random folders left on my computer from it that I found when trying to solve this issue, such as preferences files from CS4 and personal config folders for Dreamweaver CS4, Photoshop CS4, Fireworks CS4 and Contribute CS4, which I deleted, but it has not solved the problem.
I can't think of anything else to try short of wiping my hard drive and doing a clean install of OS and Creative Suite, which I really dont want to go through.
Please help!

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.

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.

When opening an XPS file, IE hangs. Task manager shows XPSViewer.exe taking 50% of CPU.

I've seen this twice now on older XP machines (sadly, some of my users DO have to run XP) so I figured I should document it, if only because the fix is so non-intuitive.
By default, XPS documents open in IE with a helper called XPSViewer.exe. You can also open them in a separate standalone viewer by installing the Microsoft XPS Essentials thing
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11816
But that doesn't work in IE, and my users needed it to.
Sometimes, users report that when they open an XPS file, the browser hangs. Checking task manager shows that XPSViewer.exe is taking up 50% of CPU cycles. Ending the process allows IE to respond, but the document is not displayed.
The first hint at a solution was from:
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/273861-cannot-open-xps-files/
"This issue occurs because the non-administrator user account cannot access the %WINDIR%\System32 folder. By default, WPF writes the output file to the %WINDIR%\System32 folder. The %WINDIR%\System32 folder requires administrator permissions.
When the non-administrator account tries to access this folder, the WPF caching code is triggered. This code causes the screen to flicker.
In 32-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 operating system, the output file is D3d9caps.dat. In 64-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 operating system, the output file is D3d9caps64.dat. "
It got me thinking that maybe i could modify the rights to the file instead of applying the hotfix...
After doing that the user could open the .xps file successfully!. But after closing the xps (internet explorer uses xpsviewer.exe to display the file) the file d3d9caps.dat disappeared from the system32 folder...
The next time the .xps file was opened by the user, the d3d9caps.dat file was not created in system32 folder as one might expect, but instead in the more appropriate path "...Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data" folder.
So in fact, all i had to do to fix this problem was deleting/renaming the d3d9caps.dat file in the system32 folder.
So all you have to do is delete (or for safety, rename) that d3d9caps.dat file and try again! Works a treat!

In the %WINDIR%\System32 folder, find d3d9caps.dat or d3d9caps64.dat
and rename it to anything. Bamn. Fixed. That easy.

Firefox begins to start but then stops before loading any screen. Profile manager/safe mode appear then disappear. Task manager shows programs briefly in CPU then they disappear. Uninstall & reload makes no difference. Any ideas please ?

When we clicked as usual on the firefox icon the egg-timer started then went off. Nothing started up.
Checking the Task Manager showed firefox.exe briefly using the CPU then it dropped off the list.
We tried to uninstall and reload from the mozilla site (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/). Installation seemed to work ok, but the same problem recurred when we tried to start firefox.
Did this again, this time removing bookmarks, etc. same result.
Tried to use the profile manager - the screen came up but disappeared before we could use it.
Same thing happened when we tried to start in safe mode - screen briefly appeared but then disappeared.
Tried googling in IE to solve the problem but nothing seems to apply.
Have run all security checks but no apparent bugs or problems.
Have had to abandon firefox and use another browser. How do we get it back please ?

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Satellite A505-S6960 100% CPU Usage

My laptop suddenly slowed to a crawl about a week ago. I noticed that the CPU was always @ 100%. Also noticed that it insisted that there was a Ricoh memory stick attached when there wasn't. The PC would issue the "clunk" sound periodically like it was trying to do something but failing.
Canceling processes didn't lower the CPU usage from 100% or stop the "clunks".
I finally restored from the original system restore disks I created when the PC was new. The disks restored, got the message that restore completed and system rebooted itself. After reboot got a Toshiba screen saying "configuring your system please stand by". It rebooted again after about 10 minutes and the configure screen appeared again for 10 minutes, rebooted again ... etc.
The reboots never stopped! After an hour I just shut it off.
The task bar showed that there was a Ricoh memory stick connected again. No USB devices were attached though. And the task manager said the CPU was at 100% again.
I've been having trouble with the USB ports lately. They seem to be pushed in a little too far and the connections seem loose. Could that have anything to do with this problem?
I believe it must be hardware related because the restore didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If a full system recovery (that completely wipes the notebook and returns it to out-of-box conditions) doesn't fix the issue, I'd suggest seeking servicing. You can contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.

Task manager show process from all user

Hi All,
Need a help.
I need to enable "task manager show all show process" for all normal users(view like XP) irrespective of admin or not.
Can any one help me how to go about this through GPO. I searched a lot in net but could not found any convincing solution for this.

This is not possible. User processes are isolated from each other. Only administrators can retrieve information about processes from other users. Either make your users local admin, or tell them this is not possible.
This is because of the security design which isolates users from other processes (service processes and other users' processes)
there are many things that don't work anymore. For example, on XP it was possible to give service applications a user interface (for example for disgnostic or development purposes). From Vista onwards this is no longer possible because allowing users to
interact with service applications is a security risk.
There are many such changes, and you have to update your processes accordingly.

Reader x or xi does not load; task manager shows 750 kb memory used

I am using windows 7 home premium 64 bits, and adobe reader x or xi sometimes does not load. However, the task manager shows that AcroRd32.exe is loaded, but only using aroung 750 kb of memory.
I must restart windows, or at least close sesion and sometimes reader loads properly. Sometimes the computer must be restarted twide to adobe function.
Does anybody has an idea why this is happening?

I'm experiencing the exact same issue.
I am on Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1. I have updated Adobe Reader to latest version, and do not have other older versions of Reader installed. I have tried opening reader by itself using Run As Administrator, as well as Run as Another User, and also in XP SP3 compatibility mode. I have tried to force PDF files to be opened in a browser window by right clicking them, selecting Open With and then selecting Internet Explorer. Nothing works. I have had this issue before, and SOMETIMES it will help if I uninstall Adobe Reader and reinstall, but even after re-imaging my entire PC, this issue comes back.
As with original poster, all I get when trying to open PDF files is AcroRd32.exe showing in Task Manager and using between 700k and 1785K of memory. No matter how long I wait, nothing else happens.
This is getting very frustrating.
Seeing as I cannot load Adobe Reader at all, is there a way to disable protected mode without loading Adobe Reader (like with registry setting)?

Mountain Lion 10.8.3: Dock shows 100%+ CPU in Activity Monitor

I upgraded my 'early 2008' MBP from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3 last week. Memory use seems to have increased with no real change in application usage — .CPU utilization seems similar, too. I have been watching Activity Monitor + vm_stat to see if I could identify any issues. I just noticed that the Dock process shows 100% CPU utilization in the detail section — even though the Activity Monitor summary stats show plenty of idle CPU cycles available. Swap activity is minimal — this all makes me question the validity and/or accuracy of the detailed stats shown in Activity Monitor. Any input or comment from the community?
TIA...
P.S. Activity Monitor screen shots are below. And no, I'm not running Parallels as per prior discussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/15596756#15596756 from 2011.

My $HOME/Library/Preferences folder contained only two com.apple.dock.* files:
com.apple.doc.plist w/current date timestamp
com.apple.doc.plist.KBPCAn with two-month old date timestamp
Detailed examination of the com.apple.doc.plist parameters seemed to be correct with nothing abnormal.
The killall Dock command suggested by Kappy seemed to address the 100%+ CPU at first, but then it returned.
Three consecutive full system shutdown/restart cycles seems to have eliminated Activity Monitor showing the Dock process running @ 100%+ CPU after 24+ hours of operation. No changes were made to the content of com.apple.dock.plist. My best guess at this point is that my system's Dock process may have had a memory leak-type issue that is neither traceable or reproduceable at this point.
The Activity Monitor issue variance (Dock process detail @ 100%+ CPU despite the summary record showing idle CPU cycles available) isn't explained. It seems to me that the sum of the detailed Activity Monitor records should match the summary pie chart information presented.
Thanks to Kappy for the input and suggestion. Further comment/discussion WRT the Activity Monitor issue is most welcome...
