Weird... Process Explorer (thanks for the rec and link btw guys) says that "System Idle Process" is grabbing 93-95% CPU... Task Manager details tab also shows the same thing-"System Idle Process" PID 0 is grabbing most of the CPU... But the Resource Monitor Overview and CPU tabs don't show the same thing...but I can see all 8 cores nicely pegged at 100% on the right there lol!
The main reason I care (well other than something unknown grabbing all my CPU which is concerning) is that the fan kicks in at this CPU load and it makes the normally deathly silent laptop a little loud... And no AV or Malwarebytes Lopaka...and those should let the CPU go once they're done running anyway, right? Definitely strange...I've been pretty sick the last two weeks so mustering the motivation to do a deep dive into what's going on is beyond me right now...was hoping for an easy fix...*sigh* Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Joshua MacCraw Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2018 11:24 AM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] PC running at 100% CPU? +1 on SysInternals tools FTW On Jan 26, 2018 11:11 AM, "Christopher Fisk" <christopher.f...@thefisks.org> wrote: > Check out process explorer > https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs > .microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Fsysinternals%2Fdownloads%2Fprocess-explorer&d > ata=02%7C01%7C%7Ca55a9a4b7dd8491362aa08d565bb95b8%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 > 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636526778697098352&sdata=l7Uru0UHA%2BDNxAb5Cc > 0vyukiWq3RYjpbbT4lY6eCJF0%3D&reserved=0 > to > try to track down the culprit. > > On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 at 1:54 PM, lopaka polena <lopa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > You running any AV or malwarebytes on it?
