Dual CPU usage problem
If my computer remains powered on for any length of time the CPU usage eventually rises to about 40% or so and stays there. There is nothing indicating that much usage in the process tree:
 And usage graphs show that it is only one CPU that it taking the burden:  Can anyone tell me what is going on and if I can fix it? Thank you

I can't tell you what causes it. But mine did that a while back on an install of XP.
Fresh install fixed it. |

Which process is causing the load or does it show 90% idle and 40% load at the same time?

Use Resource Monitor in Vista/7, select the CPU tab and sort the list by CPU Usage.

If you haven't figured this out yet, it looks like you've got a run away process on there.
Go grab this; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx And then have a read here; http://blogs.technet.com/markrussino...7/3031251.aspx It'd be nice to see also if that spike is in user mode or kernel mode because you could have a run away thread in a device driver (task manager >> performance tab >> view >> show kernel times) |
