lordy911 · May 26, 2012

right my computer is maxing out at 100% as soon as i run any processes whether that be playing an internet game or listening to music no virus checked for that help but the processes arent actualy taking up the memory on task manager it shows 100% cpu usage but when you add the cpu usage up it is about 20 %

Re: Computer slow down, CPU usage 100%

Hi

What Windows version and Service Pack are you using?

What processes are adding up to the 100% total or what is the max % process thats slowing your PC down? have you clicked the "Show all processes from all users" as some processes may not show initially.

If you boot into Safe Mode (F8 at boot and choose Safe Mode with Networking) is your PC still slow doing the same things that slow your PC down now?

Have you installed any new software or updates just before this happened and if so what?

Have you checked for malware on your PC? Some steps are below to have this checked out, do follow them as written.

Please read and follow the following READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide and once finished please start a new thread in the Malware Forum plus a guide on how to attach the logs HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

Hi my friend , what is your antivirus programme ? Go to Start - Run - typing msconfig in blank - you go to Startup tab - unbox all except for antivirus - Apply - Ok - windows asked you about restart your machine - go for it !! :wave

After you do all of there checks And get a 100% ok

Use these tools

ASC 5
http://majorgeeks.com/Advanced_SystemCare_3_d5927.html
Smart Defrag
http://majorgeeks.com/IObit_SmartDefrag_d5318.html

too do a further clean sweep.

When you use ASC 5 make sure you adjust the options correctly.

Then in the Smart Defrag i would use it too Fully Defrag HD

Then after the full defrag have the Smart defrag

Defrag the MFT file system your system will boot faster and should run better after this clean up.
