Having a Problem with CPU spiking from around 10% to 100% every 9 seconds &
dropping back down after 1 second.
Have found that the two applications that are taking the all the processor
speed are “System†& “explorer.exeâ€.
Have ended the process on “explorer.exe†and have found that the CPU flat
lines to about 6% with no more spiking, obviously need this essential
programme to run well pretty much anything.
This CPU munching is causing major problems with running media, such as
games and Video files.
PC Spec: -
XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 All updates.
Norton Anti-Virus 2006 fully up-to-date & no viruses detected ,
Using Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta.
NVIDIA Geforce FX550 128mb
CPU 1700Ghz Pentium 4
512 SDRAM &
All drivers are up to date.
Any ideas on solving this problem would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
