High CPU Usage

[yahxx2]

I'm using Core2Duo 3Ghz running at 2.4Ghz because of the limited bus speed of my motherboard Asus P5NSLI.
using windows xp,

ang casing ko naman eh mukang ok sa airflow.. 1 intake sa harap at 1 outtake sa likod at 1 outake sa gilid harap ang CPU cooler ng processor para kung anong init ng cooler ilalabas ng outtake sa gilid.

kaso.. after mag turn on ng pc ko at mag load ng desktop..
tuwing chine check ko ang task manager.. CPU usage spike lagi sa 70%-75%- 80%- 90% - 100% ... bababa ng konte sa 80%- pero most of the time nasa 100%- 90%..

ang init naman ng processor eh tulad rin naman ng dati eh.
tinangal ko ang cooler at inilagay ko ulet.. para ma check kung sunog , hindi naman.
tapos konteng tangal ng mga alikabok at dumi.
restart pero ganun parin eh.

sabi sa research ko ang cpu usage daw ay malware or hardware problem..
may AVG naman ako pero sa tingin ko hindi malware kasi mukang d naman nag slow ang performance ng PC ko.
occational hangs lang..

pero kung malware nga paano ko maichecheck ito.. aside sa reformat any other sollutions?
thansk po.

i had the same problem before and i blamed it all to my Atom Processor, di babab sa 80% CPU usage at aabot ng 100% office lang naman ang naka open sakin. Try this:

1. open the task manager then look at the current programs running

2. it may be difficult but google each suspicious process that is currenlty running, or you can open location of the programs, usually nasa documents pero pag open ala naman, or kapag end process mo ay nandun parin at di titigil, ayun malware yun.

3. if you found one, you can manually delete it in safe mode, unhide all folders (including the protected operating systems box) and there you will see it.

4. or try to use mbam, malwarebytes, freeware nama yun at effective.


hope it helps

Try using this app to find out which is causing the high CPU usage.

You can use it to replace Windows Task Manager also.
