Why is "usb" process using 100% of processor?

My new 15" MBP (2.3 GHz version) was feeling like it was running hot, so I opened Activity Monitor expecting to see another Kernel Task gone wild situation. Instead I saw that a process called usb was using 100% of the processor's capacity. I honestly don't know much about computers, so I have no idea if a usb 'process' is related to USB 'devices', but at the time there were no USB devices plugged in. I was able to kill the process, and it didn't seem to affect anything I was doing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone else know if it's related to the Kernal Task issue?

Your "Plug-in Container" is corrupted.
download the following:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player Uninstaller
Also, download these:
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 112 FULL installer (ther browsers)
You'll need to install Shockwave with the FULL installer for IE too, but there isn't a direct download for it. You'll need to go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ using IE AFTER everything else is done.
Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installers, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
Lastly, open IE and go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX (IE).
For Firefox, I recommend FlashBlock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/) It's prevent ANY Flash content from loading until you allow it manually. It can get to be a pain, but you eventually get used to it.

Dock process using 100% processor

Hello all,
Thanks in advance for the help. I've just bought a new MacBook Pro 15' with a 512 SSD drive and have been having freezes that seem due to the "Dock" process that uses 100% of a processor as you can see in the attached screenshot.
I killed it, I restarted the mac, I deleted preference pane, etc ... and nothing works
Can you help me ?
Regards,
Arnaud

Wow, I am not sure how you made the connection between the setting to "Show Windows applications folder in Dock" but deselecting it certainly did the trick.
Oh, that's easy. I'm studying for the New York state bar exam this summer and I absolutely needed my computer this morning for a simulated practice exam. Under those circumstances, you'd be surprised at how creative your inner-geek can be. (Aside: If you're reading this Cupertino, I am still available for an entry level legal position after the bar. I'm punctual, technically savvy and litigious - what else could anyone ask for?)
Best,
Sean

Discoveryd process uses 100% CPU - Safari Can't find the server

Hello
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I lose connection to the internet 2 or 3 times a day. (Outlook goes offline at the same time)
This is with a wired connection. (Wi-Fi is turned off)
Safari gives me the "Safari Can't Find the Server" message.
Restarting the computer solves the issue temporarily.
While I'm unable to connect to the internet, Activity Monitor shows a process named "discoveryd" that uses 100% CPU.
Force quitting this process gives me back access to the internet instantly. Unfortunately, I suffered a kernel panic (auto restart) a few minutes after force quitting discoveryd. I'm not 100% sure those 2 are related but it would be an odd coincidence as I never experienced had a single kernel on that system. Haven't tried force quitting that process since.
I'm using this iMac in a work environment. (Connected to a windows file server and exchange)
This issue has been happening 2-3 times a day since the day I upgraded to Yosemite.
Any pointers on what could fix this issue ?
Thanks

USB storages use 100% CPU

I have this problem since always, never mind which computer (checked at 4), and which Linux distro (since about 2.6.14). Now I use Arch almost everywhere, so I try to solve this here.
When I transfer any data over USB, one core of the CPU have 100% load. It can be pendrive, some device with flash memory, or typical HDD connected by USB. TOP and PS don't show which process is responsible.
When I copy something big to the USB drive I can't do anything on it, even open another folder. When I try, I need to wait a while, then copying stops, I get what I want and then copying resumes.
It is impossible to copy from one USB device to another. It will starts, copies couple of MB and then hangs. Hangs so bad, it is not possible to umount device. The only way is to hard reset the computer. One time, I have totally broken ext3 partition that way.
I can't check for DMA on USB devices using hdparm, because it always gives me only errors list, most of the time like this pattern:
HDIO_[...] failed: Invalid argument

STP uses 100% of processor

On my PowerBook G4 (1.67GHz), Soundtrack Pro 1.0.2 uses all available processor time when recording. The audio in the recording also skips, making it unusable. Activity Monitor shows 100% processor usage and shows ST's as about 80%ish and the random system processes totaling at about 20%ish. ST's usage goes down immediately after stopping the recording.
This happens even after a fresh restart and logging in to a dedicated account that's only used for production work (so there's no other apps running or random background processes or widgets).
I've filed it as a bug report to the Soundtrack feedback page, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem (most websites I go to say that ST is pretty easy on the processor) and if so, how it might be fixed.
TIA,
Chris

I'm using a Mackie Onyx 1220 with a Firewire card, using the built-in Core Audio drivers. The problem also occurs when I use the basic on-board mic or line input (just for testing...I would NEVER run anything critical through those!)
I have 1GB of RAM. The problem occurs with both the internal hard drive and an external 400GB Firewire 800 drive. It also happens in both my normal user account and also a "production" account in which I have tried to leave all the settings as stock as possible (and not installed any system modifications or other processor-using apps).
The skips occur every few seconds. There's nothing else trying to use the CPU--when ST isn't recording, usage drops to ~10-20%. I haven't specifically looked for disk activity, but I have been having problems with iTunes and other media apps skipping based on disk write usage (see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=787719 for an in-depth--and still unsolved--look at this problem). Perhaps this is related to the skips in recording. However, the CPU-usage problem, I don't think, is related. Logic records with no difficulty and ~20-40% CPU usage.
I haven't yet tried the drastic step of reinstalling Tiger from scratch, as I have many settings (both UI and unix) I'd like to preserve, and I seem to always be too short of time to undertake a large project like that. But if that's the only way to solve it.
Is there a way to inspect the STP process to see what loop is using all of the processor time? Same for the disk usage part of it (to try to identify what's causing the skips--core audio buffer underruns, etc.)?
Thanks for your help.
Chris

Process Using too much Processor

Hi all !
I have a real wierd request.
I have a process which runs for about a hour converting files. The process only between 10 and 15MB of memory which is fine. The problem is that the process uses basically all the processing power available on the server. My administrator is worried that if another process is started whie mine is running it will not receive a share of the processor . Even though I have told him (and showed him) that the java app releases some of the processor when another program requests it.
Is there anyway of specifying the percentage of processor a java app uses ? For example I would like to tell the app to only use 50% of the available processor !
Robin

How computationally intensive is the conversion? Are they small files that require sophisticated processing? Or are they large files that are processed in a simple way?
I'm asking because it's very unusual for a process that does significant I/O to peg the CPU. The fact that it does may point to a bug in the code.

Systemd-journal process using 100% of one cpu core after reboot

journalctl -b showed
"Process 2016 (virtuoso-t) dumped core."
more than a few times and virtuoso-t would was using more cpu than it does most of the time.
at 14 minutes of uptime systemd-journal stopped using 100% and went back to normal. Anyone know a way to figure out what happened here?

it happened again here is what the journal was saying while it was happening (i removed lots of (virtuoso-t) dumped core that happened ... 10 or more times)
Thanks in advance,

In the Newbie Corner of the forums, there are a few stickied threads that are recommended reads. One of which is this one.
If the logs are not too too much, then it can be posted here with code tags. If it is crazy big, pastebin it and then post the link.
If this is really all the information it gives about the journal being nuts, then you might want to enable debug levels of logging for the journal and then see if you can gather more information that way. This can either by done by using a drop-in snippet to the unit file, or by turning on debug levels for the entire system from the kernel command line.
The journal is not designed in such a way that it can be continously written to. There are safeguards in place to ensure that masively spamming services are cut off after a certain number of log messages in a given timeframe. Additionally, even the flush from the journal in RAM to the disk is only done periodically.

Why does FCP not use the quad Processors for rendering

Hi. I notice the other day when I renderd out a rather long project that FCP does not use all available processors. I notice on some effects that it uses the graphics card and non of the processors. It there a reason for this and is there a way to make better use of the quad core in rendering both audio and video files.
Thanks

Good question. I've been asking around off forum looking for an answer too. Motion is a big one for me. I'd love to have it render out with all 4. But then again, it's not meant to be a render engine. Both FCP and Motion are now becoming more GPU intensive.
Now... COMPRESSOR uses all 4 at the same time.

Doc2text process using 100% cpu for way too long

I've run into this issue before, and have never received a satisfactory resolution.
When we publish certain PDF documents via collab to the KD, the doc2text process on our portal servers (also our API servers) spin up to 100% CPU for about 90 seconds. This causes the publish from collab to fail, so we resort to directly uploading the file to the KD via content upload.
1) Why is doc2text running on our portal servers in the first place? Is this a result of the portal server or api service? If i move the API service off to another machine, will that remove this CPU hog from our front end servers?
2) Has anyone seen this before, or found a way around it? Is there a newer version of doc2text in 10gR3 that isn't so terrible?
I'm preparing to move to 1-cpu virtuals in our new environment so any process that takes up 100% of the CPU is going to kill performance.

Doc2text is native search client functionality used by portal, automation, ws, collab, publisher, etc. The portal components use it when indexing content to search server. It is installed seperately with each portal component. If you have multiple portal components installed on the same box, the ones that use Doc2text will share it from the common folder where it is located. Doc2text uses different libraries for the purpose of raw text extraction and processing, the processed information being sent in a proprietary format to the search server.
Doc2text is a processor heavy component as it needs to execute intensives tasks necessary to parse and extract raw data from such file formats as Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Some files may be more complex to extract data from and take longer for this task to complete.
The best way to increase performance would be to install the various portal components onto their own machines. For example not installing portal and automation on seperate servers. This way when you run a crawler job that imports files, the running of doc2text will not use cpu cycles on the portal web server.

Why is Flash Player using 100% of my CPU?

I know this has been brought up before but over the last 2 days I have searched and not been able to find a real answer. Every time I go to a page with Flash my CPU usage spikes to 100% and stays there renering my computer (almost) useless. Youtube, Pandora, etc. all stream with poor resolution and very choppy. I have tried everything I know how (or have read about) and have had no luck solving the problem. Are there any real answers to why this is happening and how to make it stop?
To give a little background, I just reinstalled Windows XP on a Dell XPS with 4 GB RAM. It's got a NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Video card with an up to date driver, I just installed Flash Player 12 and as far as I know, all other drivers are up to date as well. Any and all help would be appreciated. PLEASE, someone out there has to have an answer for thi, it's driving me nuts. Thanks.

Your "Plug-in Container" is corrupted.
download the following:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player Uninstaller
Also, download these:
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 112 FULL installer (ther browsers)
You'll need to install Shockwave with the FULL installer for IE too, but there isn't a direct download for it. You'll need to go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ using IE AFTER everything else is done.
Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installers, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
Lastly, open IE and go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX (IE).
For Firefox, I recommend FlashBlock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/) It's prevent ANY Flash content from loading until you allow it manually. It can get to be a pain, but you eventually get used to it.

"EMPTY" Virtual Circuits causes the dispatcher proces D000 use 100% CPU

Could someone please indicates why the D000 process uses 100% cpu while no XDB action seems to be running? Whe are not using shared server (besides the XML DB usage) and the only value for the dispatcher parameter in the init<SID>.ora = (PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=<SID>XDB).

When I lookup the virtual circuits I notice 2 VC without server and waiter address and without session info.

Stop and start of the listener doesn't solve this problem but killing the unix process will do. When I killed the D000 proces a new dispatcher is started (does pmon do this?) and the current shows 0. This workaround is fine on the DVL machine but no sollution on a production DB :-)

By the way... you just could be unlucky hitting a very rare situation that caused the phenomenon decribed by you. Deamon processes also could arise due too standard JDBC, ODBC or other connection methods. As long as you don't provide Oracle Support with a SR, you will not know if it is actually XDB related or not.
If I would implement XDB functionality in a production system than at least I would:
a) disable automatic memory management by setting SGA parameters manually
b) set the large_pool_size to a appropriate value to support the shared server processes
c) tweak dispatcher and shared server processes to match at least values that represent
   the minimum++ needed processes (= a higher value then needed maximum)
d) set java_pool size to a decent size (250 Mb or higher)
e) set an appropriate PGA setting to support XML fragment handling
f) DISABLE autoregistering database functionality with the listener
   (see amongs others "Registering non-default XMLDB HTTP/WebDAV and FTP ports
   on a non-default Oracle Listener port" - http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=116)
g) alter the xdbconfig.xml file with more appropiate timeouts, locking and cache handling.
h) dedicate a specific listener (aka a a listener not called "LISTENER") for shared server
   connection handling (this for management reasons and specific debugging).
i) use version 10.2.0.4.0 or 11.1.0.7.0 for production environments (I know that this
   matches your environment)
j) always enforce that client software matches the database version
   (as in your case 10.2.0.4.0)
k) keep NLS settings on client and database equal and support a AL32UTF characterset
   (IMHO a minimum requirement on the database side)

Adobe Reader XI use 100 % of the processor in Internet Explorer

We have sequenced Adobe Reader XI with App-V 5.0 SP2 hotfix 5. This package is deployed in our Windows 2008 R2 Citrix XenApp 7.6 server. When we open a PDF document in Internet Explorer, after about 10 seconds IE freeze and this process use 100% of one processor.
The first 10 seconds, we can do watever we want with the PDF file.
We are searching a fix for this problem for many weaks, with no success. We have virtualized Adobe Reader X and we have no problem with PDF in Internet Explorer.
I know that installing Reader localy will solve the problem, but we want to virtualised the maximum of application without installing it natively.
Thanks for your help!

I have run a procmon and i have discover that when the processor is 100%, the Internet Explorer process query the registry with those key to the infinite :

CWBufferedAO.zip uses 100% of CPU

This sample program is modified as follows,
CWAO1.UpdateClock.Frequency = 1024
CWAO1.NUpdates = 1024
CWAO1.ProgressInterval = 256
When PCI-MIO-XE16-10 is used and NUpdates is the same value as Frquency, this program uses 100% of CPU and "STOP" button does not work.
Our program was developed for DAQCard-6036E and was intended to use it on PCI-MIO-16XE-10. Because of programming requirement, the stopping process should be taken within 1 second after STOP button is clicked.
Is there any reason why this sample program uses 100% of CPU when small value of NUpdates is applied?

My PC is DELL Precision-620 (2 CPU's) with Win2000.
The sampling rate is 1024Hz so that 256 samples take 250ms. It is very slow operation.
STOP button does not work and some user logics do not work in Progress routine.
Attached a slighly modified program to show you the strange opeartion in Nidak32.sys. Are the Update count
and Time Editbox updated on your PC?

Internet browsing uses 100% cpu

Hello everybody.
This situation has driven me crazy the last 4 months and till now i have not figure it out.
Everytime i have a video streaming in my computer, CPU usage goes to 100%. It happens every time, either using internet explorer or Firefox or Google chrome. Even when i have a skype video call or a gtalk video call. Some description of each one:
Using internet explorer: While i am watching a youtube video, CPU limits up to 100% after 1 minute or sometime 5 minutes. I am not able to watch a 15min video. Internet explorer process uses 100%CPU. When i kill it via task manager, another instance of IE
appears with the same CPU usage. I also kill it and then 4 or 5 instances of rundll32.exe appear consuming 100CPU. If i kill them, explorer.exe uses 100% of cpu. If i do nothing and just wait, CPU is 100% for two hours. If i just kill only IE instances, taskmngr.exe
is consuming 40-50% of CPU for 1-2 minutes, then other processes like conhost or csrss consumes the same amount of CPU and after 4-5 minutes everything comes back to normal. That's the story everytime i use IE 11.0.9600.16518
Using Firefox: While video streaming, flash player process consumes all CPU. When i kill it, the same behaviour described above occurs.
Using Google Chrome: When i run it, 5-6 instances of google chrome appear in task manager and after some time this browser also hungs with 100CPU.
All above are also happening while i run Skype either i have a video call or just text messaging. Sometimes svchost is 25-30 % and system hungs.
Operating system is Windows 7 home premium 64bit with SP1, my graphics card is NVidia Gforce GT 230M (latest drivers 20% when these situations occur, my system is extremely slow and whatever i do, it limits up CPU usage.
Any assistance is acceptable. Thanks for the patience.

Hi,
First, I would suggest that you reduce the hardware acceleration on the computer and check if it helps.
a. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
b. Click Advanced Settings, click the Troubleshoot tab, and then click Change settings.
c. Note that some video card drivers do not permit you to change settings.
d. Move the Hardware acceleration slider toward None to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.
This issue can be caused by confliction from one of the background programs or add-ons.
You may use Process explorer as Milos mentioned to find the root cause to fix the issue:
Process explorer:

You can follow the references below to troubleshoot the issue:
1. 3RD part app: Remove to check the issue
2. Drivers: Update or install compatible version
3. System process/service: Upload the log file for analyzing.
I also would like to suggest you use Windows Performance Recorder to check the issue:

To diagnose HDD and RAM, I would like to suggest you contact your computer vender.
Hope it helps.
