IE8 Sucking up CPU and Mem Usage

I have a newly (yesterday) Formated HP Computer (tower)
IE8 is SUCKING up all the mem. See the pics.
2 Pics reg browsing and IE8 without AddOns.
Seems no difference

Running Windows XP Home(see pic )
2.20GHZ
2GB RAM
SP3
All the updates have been done and the only driver I had to get on my own was the Audio driver that I got from SlimDrivers. I immediatly uninstalled SlimDrivers once I got my Driver.
I have searched the net and tried a million things including several Microsoft Fixit's
Avast Anti-Virus (Old Version)
Any Ideas?

Oppps!
Deleted URL with Keys on it.

 

have you had a look to see if there is any add-ons been added to the browser. you could try disabling them. If not I would suggest in using a different browser. (ie. Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox.)

 

Yes one of the Pics was with "No Add-Ons"
I could use something esle but its kinda the point. This is not right.

 

Well two things i see wrong is that you have low amount of ram.And your cpu is only a 2.2ghz.

When was the last time system was defraged.Minimum amount of ram needed now a days is at lest 4 gigs.Your IE taking up 500k in ram.

 

Is your system up to date? IE8 has a really bad memory leak. Just to also let you know, End of Life for XP is in 2014. That machine would have no problem running Windows 7 btw.

 

Whats the Max amout of RAM that XP will Recognize I think its 2GB?
I have had this computer since it was new and never had this problem.
IE8 is going to suck up 100% or CPU?
There's a problem somewhere just trying to find out what it is.
New Formated Drive and Restore yesterday. Defrag?
I'll check it but I doubt it

 

@brownizs----->
Up to date as in Microsoft Updates. There were a few more updates when this was posted but it is done now.
Maybe I'll try 7.
Everything was fine till I had a hard drive failure and and to get a new drive and use restore disks

 

See the following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2032595 Also see http://blog.dopus.com/2010/11/new-guide-how-to-find-components.html

IE7 & IE8 are notorious for having issues with memory leaks. See this regarding part of the issue with the IE8 memory leak problem. http://com.hemiola.com/2009/11/23/memory-leaks-in-ie8/

 

Running HOTFIX. Downloaded VMap for future use.
Thank You For your help. I'll let you know if this works

 

CPU is way down BUT.........
Look at that Memory Usage. I have never seen it that high on any Computer!
Could this be a False Reading?

 

This is SafeMode

 

I have with a site that we use in our office, for entering requests from dr offices and pharmacies. You have a issue with the IE8 memory leak alright.

I only use Chrome, stopped using IE, because of all of the issues with that POS.

 

I guess thats wha I'll do.
THANK YOU!

 

I have nothing nice to say, so I decided to say nothing at all.

 

Are you a Helper or another JERK!?!?!
HEY JERK!
Can I get my Windows Updates with Chrome?
I have another problem now!
Instead of just Venting go help someone else will ya!

 

ALSO!
I went to CHURCH today so I don't think that the JESUS in that tone was necessary.
One guy told me I didn't have enough Memory!
XP only recognizes 2GB..

 

I found a SVCHOST using 98% now. I narrowed it down to Windows Updates. I disabled it then tried to update manually. No Go, I am using Chrome but when Updating Windows Computer Stops responding and when I go to "View all Wireless COnnections" Something has taken over. Won't show me any. I ran Malewarebytes and Avast from Boot and nothing. Like I said This is a fresh XP install.
I uninstalled IE8 and was going to reinstall it but is unresponsive.
SCVHOST CPU Usage is 99
Right Click and end Process Tree and thats when I lose control of my Wireless

So I have to uninstall my G-Wireless adapter reinstall it and restart.
I wonder if it the Wireless that is the problem.....

 

You need to download Sysinternals Process Explorer, to narrow down what exact process is killing the machine. Svchost.exe can also be a Virus, so do not rule that out.

As for Wireless Adapters, Wireless-N will work okay with XP SP3. I am in the middle of trying to get an 11 year old Toshiba Satellite 1805-S204 ready for sell. It has 512mb RAM, 20gb Hard Drive, Wireless-N PCMCIA adapter. It will work fine for Internet, email, Open Office.

Will not run 7, but yours will do just fine with Windows 7.

 

I would recommend on doing a full virus scan on system if it is still causing 100% cpu usage.

When you did a fresh install the other day did you completely do a full format or do partly format.
