System freeze, 100% CPU usage
Occasionally the CPU usage while running Windows goes up to 100% and the fan starts spinning like crazy. The system is then hardly responsive and becomes unusable.
I then have to boot into OSX before booting back into Windows to recover.
With Boot Camp 1.4 I had this problem maybe once a week, but since installing the Boot Camp 2.0 windows drivers this happens several times a day.
Is there maybe a work around for this problem? Is Apple working on a solution?
Cheers,
Erik
The part of system that is using all the CPU time is the battery driver, all the drivers come under system, it obviously has a major bug in it, I have deduced this over a period of about a year of this problem, I only get it once every couple of months now, it seems as though the Leopard drivers are worse than before, I will resist the temptation to upgrade to Leopard, it seems like many people are having trouble with leopard, particularly concerning battery life, A coleague of mine has installed leopard on a DAW machine and had a lot of problems on first install. after install he wasn't impressed by the new OS, tiger and boot camp 1.4 is working well for me, I think I will leave it there until someone has something positive to say about Leopard.
maybe you can roll back the drivers to bootcamp 1.4, only thing I miss is the trackpad tap, which apparently still doesn't work in leopard drivers, well done apple, seems like £80 of wasted money if you upgraded.

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.

if you still do not know how to Fix CPU Usage 100%?
I suggest you try targeted software - registry cleaner to fix cpu usage 100%
Because there are many cases causing high cpu utilization.
1. If you do a lot of web surfing and are concerned about spyware, adware infecting your machine, they will cause system crashes and CPU utilization reaches 100 percent. Some good registry cleaner has the function of spyware & adware removal.
2. You install many beta version of the software, Drivers are not certified, which resulted in many errors, you get high cpu usage.
3.100% CPU Usage while you use Internet Explorer
4. many unneed Startup Program.
5.Others PC Errors. - DLL errors, runtime errors, Windows-Installer Errors, Windows Startup Errors,paths Broken DLLs, OCX, and ActiveX Components all will cause 100% cpu usage. Your PC will run very slowly.
Registry cleaner can do a complete scan of your entire file system and registry in under 2 minutes! Fix High Cpu Usage. Improve PC Speed By Up to 70%!

100% CPU usage... does anyone else get this?
Here is my code. I would have simplidied it for you... but I honestly have no idea where it went wrong.
One second it is running fine, the next it starts taking up 100% of my CPU cycles. I can't figure out what I did to it to make it do this... nothing I added creates an infinite loop or infinite threads. It's just... weird.
The code is probably too big for anyone to look at and tell me what's wrong, but can someone else download it and tell me if you also get 100% CPU usage? It needs to be run on Windows... it uses a couple JNI calls that are Windows-specific. Those calls were the first place I looked when trying to find the problem, but I have not changed that part of the code for a long time, and it has never been a problem before.
Don't run the bat file... just navigate to the Watchdog2 directory and do 'java Watchdog'.
Are there any tools that can help me figure out where the program is getting hung up? It's not freezing at any specific spot... just moving super slow and taking up 100% of my CPU. I'm so confused...

L4E_WakaMol-KingNevermind!
Sorry for the trouble. The problem was that last time I compiled the code, it reverted back to and older version of a class I had compiled days ago. Why it did this is totally beyond me... but it did, and it just so happens that the old version of that class combined with the new version of my program were the perfect recipe for an infinite loop.
Seriously, if you are in inveterate debugger, you might get a good laugh out of this. I've spent the last week and a half trying to find a way to set the Windows console into cbreak mode (single character processing rather than line-at-a-time processing), and I finally managed to do it by writing some c code and putting it into a DLL with the JNI. So now my program (which runs from the console) can process each character as it is entered rather than waiting for a line return. The older version of the class that got reverted was one that used System.in rather than the input stream generated by the socket. I had set it to System.in for testing purposes, and apparently that testing version is the one it got reverted back to. So combine the two, and you have a console that is feeding System.in each character as it is pressed and a socket wrapper that is listening infinitely. It was a mess... but an uncannily serindipitous mess...
Ahh... debugging... good time... -
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.

Copying from USB NTFS device with Dolphin (KDE) causes 100% CPU usage
I am copying +/- 30 GB of Music files (flac) from my external USB HDD which is formatted as NTFS.
I have installed ntfs-3g and am experiencing near 100% CPU usage. What's wrong?
Additional info: I am using KDE and initiated the copying through dolphin. KDE's system monitor only shows CPU usage near 100%, but no processes in the process view could be responsable.
Thanks!What mount options are used for that ntfs drive?
Edit: There are many similar threads but I couldn't find a solution other than trying out some kernel and cpufrequtils fun.

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.
-CherryPause 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.Hi,

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. -
Why screensaver always causes my macbook 100% cpu usage

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.

(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.

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn - DNS issue, hundreds of UDP connections affects my router 100% CPU usage
Hi all,
We've bought about ten pieces (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn), tested only one the other 9 are waiting for their time to be sent in our branch offices. The MFP works fine, no complains till later that day I noticed that our Mikrotik Router was struguling with high CPU usage, it took me some time to find the issue and it was the new bought MFP. Don't know why but it creates hundreds of UDP connections and almost 100% CPU usage goes to DNS service. As soon as I shutdown the MFP and delete all the connections everything goes back to normal. I've disabled almost all services (HP web service, Ipv6, SNMP, AirPrint, SLP, LPD, WS-Discovery, Bonjour), leaving only Ipv4 but without luck the issue persists. Here are some print screens confirming my saying:

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

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.
