Hello guys,

Can anyone help me?
All my processes mem usage is suddenly very high! Naturally my CPU usage is spiking to 100% whenever I want to do anything and things are moving very slow...I have attached a screenshot of my processes tab in windows task manager.

Please see the attachment.

I've run all the virus scans with microsoft essentials, AVG, Ad-aware, spy doctor, and others....all say it's clean but alas, still slow. I just dont know what to do now and I def. dont want to format it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Your Friend,
-Josh-

According to your screenshot, your CPU usage is at 3%, so I'm not sure where you can see100%.

Hello,

Well my CPU usage is spiking to 100% quite often...like as soon as I want to do anything it jumps up - like it doesn't have the resources to do anything when I want to. At idle it is between 1-10%, then jumps to 100% as soon as I open a browser window, open microsoft word, anything really. All my processes mem usage is really high so I dont imagine I have the capability to do much when that's going on.

Thanks,
 
Open couple of programs, which seem to trigger high CPU usage and....

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.
 
System Idle Process (CPY NOT used) is listed at 96.04%
Perfectly normal.
I'm not sure where you can see high CPU usage.
 
I've attached the screen shot where I see 100% CPU usage.

Like I said, I only think it spikes because the processes are so high...any idea why they are so high? Any solutions?

Thanks
