Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / January 2006CPU 100%
I have win98SE (I know this is not the right group but I think somebody can help me) and the CPU usage is always 100%. I see this with system monitor and with Process Explorer. The process that use most CPU is the System Idle Process (85 / 90%). What is this System Idle Process? Is right that this process use the CPU in this way? If System Idle Process is at 85^then your PCU usage is at 15% - by definition! The SIP is the UNUSED portion of the processor time System Monitor does NOT show System Idle Process - and should only be seeing 15% usage  SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's >I have win98SE (I know this is not the right group but I think somebody > can help me) and the CPU usage is always 100%.

Very strange! - however, if Process Explorer is showing 85% for SIP, I would be inclined to believe that rather than System Monitor The following may apply - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=178563 SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's > In the System Monitor I see always and always CPU usage 100%. Atackack, my 2 cents worth is this: My System Monitor began showing 100% CPU usage *always* as some point and then never went back to 'normal'. I found Wintop.exe, an old Windows utility that, as Noel says shows the 'System Idle Process' 'using' the highest percentage of CPU. So, I know what you mean about System Monitor. I now use Wintop if I'm curious but keep a small corner of System Monitor up to show available & swap-able RAM. Wintop.exe can be downloaded here http://www.dewassoc.com/support/useful/wintop.htm .

Attackack would seem to already have installed Process Explorer - which is by far a better app than Wintop for this purpose.

If not for Attackack, then other's with the '100%' CPU problem. 'mo' > yes noel > > this is a good software > > thank you |
