Win 7 pro 100% cpu with only a few programs running

I have a 4.2 rating with a amd athlon 64 3400+ running at 2.41ghz, 2.5 gig ram in 32bit windows 7 pro.  My motherboard doesn't have windows 7 drivers which may contribute to the issue.  Asus k8N so I have no illusions that this computer should be lightning quick but it is very difficult to keep my patience due to the high cpu constantly.  I run about the same as I did in XP and I didn't have nearly the high cpu usage.  Outside of antivirus (AVG free), logmein, creative camtray, and tversity running all the time.  If I then open Outlook 2007, Firefox more then one tab and itunes, my cpu is at 100%, it's still usable for a definite slow down.  I've set the visual effects to best performance and that really hasn't made a difference.  What suggestions can you offer other then stopping logmein, the camtray, and tversity all of which are not using hardly any cpu.  It's constantly flipping between firefox and itunes primarily.

Hi Cougar78,
I would like to confirm what process uses the high CPU usage you find with Task Manager?
You may update the BIOS and the hardware drivers first to check the issue.
If it does not work, I also would like to suggest you test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot.
What are the results in both modes?

  • Brand New MacBook Air 2012 Fan Always On with Only a Few Programs Open!

    Got this awesome machine a few days ago.  Everything is perfect except the fact that the fans are on 24/7!  I have nearly no applications running and I've cheked the activity monitor and nearly everything is at 0% and the programs that aren't are around 5% (or less).  I've got a protective case on the computer and I've taken it off and tested the situation out and without the cover the MacBook Air still runs the fans at full speed.
    As I'm typing this, the fans are just blasting.  I never new a computer fan could get so annoying!

    Oh snap.  FahCore_a4 user: nobody CPU: nearly 400%!....what on earth is this.  I did a Google search and it's suppose to relate to a Windows thing....

    Supposedly relates to a "Share your computer power for research".  So this is what I get for doing charity?  How rude!

  • HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

    Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
    Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
    How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with Airport Express

    Can anyone tell me if its possible to use a HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an airport Express ?  Am looking at connecting the printer directly to the airport express (via the USB socket on the airport express) and using the home wi-fi network to let all my other apple devices use it for printing (iPhone, Ipad & Mac Mini). 
    Thanks

    Hello reddys,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you would like to learn if you can use your Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an Apple AirPort Express.
    I have included the document Share Your Printer on a Network with Apple AirPort for you.  It has a section for those running Windows OS and another section for those using Mac OS X.  At the end of the document there is also an FAQ section.

  • MacBook Pro 13in(Retina)with only 8G

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13in(Retina)with only 8G-any recommendations of how to get more memory?  (I can't even load a basic desktop pub. program like Printshop)

    I think you're confusing RAM with storage. Even the base model MBPr has 128GB of flash storage. The 8gb of ram is temporary storage that your mac uses for the operating system and applications. What exactly do you mean that you can't load even basic programs?

  • Can I run the new Mac pro (6.1) with only one stick of ram?

    Will that cause any problems. And if not how much will the overall quality be affected. it won't be a permanent solution, but for a few weeks at least. So can it happen? Can I run the Mac pro 2013 with only one memory stick?

    Per this
    http://blog.macsales.com/22745-mix-and-match-more-memory-faster-mac-pro-2
    the 2013 Mac Pro is the only MP that can use a single stick of memory.

  • 100% CPU with DAQmxRegisterSignalEvent(.., DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent,..) / NIDaqmx 8.71 C client

    Hi All,
    Please see code below for my problem. I removed error checking to make things easily readable.  Whenever I enable callbacks using DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEven,  the following code utilizes 100% CPU even with the 10Hz counter!!!!  Am I missing something here?  I tried all the options for interrupt based processing instead of busy polling to no avail.  This is just unacceptable.  These days one can't even deliver an app that is permanently running at 100% cpu without raising some eyebrows...
    I must be missing something...
    My application requires that I generate TTL level trigger pulses and at the rising edge of each trigger pulse, I also need to execute some very short C code. This code should start running within .5ms of the trigger edge.  This should be no problem for a modern CPU. This is why I am using DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent.  However, I cannot have NIDaq implement this using busy polling (which I assume it's doing since it's eating 100% cpu).  It is simply not acceptable to be running at 100% CPU for several reasons.  The documentation and this support site talk about interrupt based processing, and the hardware is obviously capable of it.
    So, the 2 questions I have are:
    1. What do I have to do in order to have NIDaq use interrupt based processing instead of busy polling (for the DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent callbacks in my application)?
    2. In addition to (1), can I make it so that my callback only gets called on the rising edge of the trigger signal instead of both the rising and falling edges?  Perhaps I can wire the counter output to a general purpose input and then generate interrupts based on the rising edge that the input measures? 
    Please help,
    Philip
    // currently the callback simply does nothing to make sure i'm not causing the 100% cpu problem
    static int StaticTriggerCallback(TaskHandle taskHandle, int32 signalID, void *callbackData)
    // we will get called once for every rising and once for every falling edge (20hz).  We would prefer to be called only on the rising edge.  Is that possible?
    return 0;
    void TTCameras:tartTimer(void)
     // Configure DAQmx ct3 as our spin camera trigger.  10Hz
     DAQmxCreateTask("", &taskHandle);
     DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq(taskHandle, "/Dev1/ctr3", "CameraSpinTrigger", DAQmx_Val_Hz, DAQmx_Val_Low, 0.0, 10.0, 0.5);
     DAQmxCfgImplicitTiming(taskHandle, DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, 1000);
     DAQmxSetReadWaitMode(taskHandle, DAQmx_Val_WaitForInterrupt);
    // I tried this but it does not help:
     //DAQmxSetRealTimeWaitForNextSampClkWaitMode(taskHandle, DAQmx_Val_WaitForInterrupt);
     // If I register this callback, CPU usage goes to 100%.  This callback needs to be done based on interrupts!
     DAQmxRegisterSignalEvent(taskHandle, DAQmx_Val_CounterOutputEvent, 0, (DAQmxSignalEventCallbackPtr)StaticTriggerCallback, NULL);
    DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle);

  • X300 XP-Pro 100% CPU Hang

    Have an x300 with Windows XP Pro.
    Get a 100% CPU situation ... I think (mostly? or always) with the wireless radio 'ON".
    Suggestions to fix?
    Thanks,
    Joe T.

    Joe,
    I typed up a long and detailed response just to have it all dissappear on me, I'm very frustrated... So, in short (hopefully before I "lose" this type up too), click on the Support and Downloads link: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/homeLenovo.do?country=us
    When the form ask for Type, you should be able to find that number under your laptop. There are recent updates for BIOS (which I think helped my problem a bit), and updates for Access Connections (which may help your wireless radio problem).
    Good luck with this, update this thread if you can.

  • How well will Premier run on a MacBook Pro Retina i7 with only 8GB of RAM?

    My niece wants to do some video editing using Premier and we were wondering if there would be a problem running it on a MacBook Pro with i7 and retina display with only 8GB of RAM? I know 16GB would be better but that is not an option at this point. She is not looking at really large projects.

    I am running Vista Home Premium with 2GB RAM and 2ghz processor just fine. I used to run XP too prior to upgrading to Vista. XP undoubtedly flew with 2GB RAM however Vista runs smoothly as well.
    As far as overheating is concerned, both XP and Vista run hotter than OSx and noticeably so. The thing to note is that Vista does not run any hotter than XP on my macbook pro.

  • Finder and loginwindow use 100% cpu with 10.6.8

    I recently installed the patch to OS X 10.6.8 and now the finder is very unstable and uses 100% cpu and the loginwindow uses 100% cpu also.  Yes I have Parallels 6 on this machine but I already "un-checked" the "show windows applications in doc" option which is the recommended solution.  However, this did not fix the problem.  I do not know how to determine what actual process is causing this finder / loginwindow issue.  I very much appreciate if anyone has suggestion how to fix this problem. 
    This is on a mid-2011 MacBookPro.
    thank you.

    TBauer, I had the same problem with 10.6.8 using 100% of the CPU with Parallels 6 installed.  The following steps solved this problem for me:
    0.  Take a screen shot of your Dock if you wish to remember it as currently set
    1. Launch Activity Monitor and click on the CPU column so you can see Dock using the CPU
    2.  Move   ///Users/ ...  /Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist to the trash
    3.  Click on Dock and click on Quit Process to stop the Dock
    OS X will then rebuild the default Dock
    4.  Put the items back in the Dock that you want
    That solved the problem for me yesterday morning.  I've launched Parallels 6 several times now and moved the machine from my work network to home and the 100% CPU problem hasn't returned.
    Hope that works for you, too!
    I don't think using the combo updater will solve the problem.  The problem appears to be a .plist that is generated with OS X 10.6.7 and earlier that contains icons of a larger than Apple documented size causes the CPU looping.  Rebuilding the dock.plist under OS X 10.6.8 appears to solve the problem.
    Parallels has issued a knowledge bulletin saying they are looking into the problem.  On their web site they have another approach involving moving the offending icon out of the dock to solve the problem.  I like my solution better but theirs works, too.

  • New Canon Pixma Pro-100 printing with streaks on backgrounds

    Hello.  I just purchased the printer last week.  I'm operating on a MacBook Air.  I typically use LightRoom and Photoshop.  
    I'm a professional photographer and recently look a class at ICP and learned how to print there.  I was shocked at how beautiful the prints were.  This was using an Epson in a classroom.
    I did my research and talked to other photographers and decided the Pro-100 would be perfect for me, and so far, it is.
    I've had trouble with magenta casts when using LightRoom.  Switched to PhotoShop and got better results.  But some prints, especially those with a simple, plain background, faint lines appear across the page.
    Here's an example.  The lines appear top to bottom every 1/4 inch or so:
    Solved!

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • [radeon] Xorg 100% CPU, freezes, only way to resume is to reboot

    Hello, I have an ATI Radeon 9250 with the bleeding edge Arch. Occasionally, my graphics will randomly stop working, and the only thing that works is the mouse (although slowly)
    Rarely, the graphics cut out completely and the screen turns off, or I get an "Input Signal Out of Range" message from my monitor.
    The kernel doesn't crash however, I can SSH in (very slowly) and then killall -9 Xorg (but it makes no difference on the screen).
    If I run 'top' I see Xorg uses nearly 100% of CPU until it is killed by "KILL" signal. Even then, the process doesn't disappear, it just kills the processor usage.
    I will see if I can get an Xorg log and 'dmesg' from one of these crashes.

    I really hope someone can get to the bottom of this, it has been annoying me for quite some time. In fact, I think since the release of Xorg 7.0 if I remember.
    Its gotten worse, which is why I'm posting.

    I just set up the radeon driver for my HD 4200 graphics. I just installed Arch a couple of days ago so I am hopelessly noob.
    Anyway, after a ton of messing around I got one screen working with KMS off, a minimal xorg.conf and then changed to 2 screens with xrandr. I don't have 3d working yet, which is not a big deal for my uses. But I figure I get something working and then start adding features.  Oh yeah, I'm using Xorg 1.7.1
    my xorg:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "HD4200"
    Driver "radeon"
    BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
    # Option "VGA-0" "Samsung"
    # Option "DVI-0" "Dell"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "HD4200"
    Device "HD4200"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Subsection "Display"
    Virtual 3200 1200
    EndSubsection
    EndSection
    Section "DRI"
    Group "video"
    Mode 0666
    EndSection
    The command that puts the screens where I want them:
    xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --right-of DVI-0
