CPU 100% HELP

[chardly38]

Im having issues with my computer going to 100% CPU. This has happened 4 times. To give the story. I reformatted my computer in December of last year. I did this because of problems with NTTR map but come to find that VSync turned on made the sim load ground textures slowly.

 

Last night I had DCS load the training mission for the SU25. While it was down loading I opened fire fox to look for videos on the SU25 the my computer went to 100% and had to force a shut down.

 

Just A few minutes ago after flying for about an hour, I closed out DCS and changed my Helos profile from SU25 to the Mig-21 then my computer went to 100%.

 

I have never had this problem before reformatting windows 7 64.

I got the task manager open and show processes for all.

System 496K NT Kernel & System was at 99 CPU all other processes at 0

Guidance and suggestions needed.:helpsmilie:

The other two times this has happened was using a program PhotoPlus by Serif

[BitMaster]

maybe this helps:

 

found on google btw:

After much debugging, I was able to come to the conclusion that my specific case was related to a bug in the Oculus Rift software. Because the Rift, a virtual reality headset, requires low latency, their software seems to set the IDLEDISABLE power configuration to "1". In certain cases, after taking the headset off, the setting is not changed back to the default of "0".

 

IDLEDISABLE prevents the CPU from throttling itself, causing heat and the fan noise I observed. Additionally, this manifested in the Task Manager as "100% CPU usage". Process Explorer seems to always discount the System Idle Process and not include it in the total CPU usage, which is why it displayed a lower total CPU usage than Task Manager did.

 

To fix this, you can run the following two commands, which sets the IDLEDISABLE setting back to "0" and then re-applies the power management configuration.

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>PowerCfg /SETACVALUEINDEX SCHEME_CURRENT SUB_PROCESSOR IDLEDISABLE 000

C:\WINDOWS\system32>PowerCfg /SETACTIVE SCHEME_CURRENT

More information can be found in my post-mortem.

 

 

 

 

Also try RESMON ( google if you dont know ) and with it's help you should be able to find the source of the 100%.

 

Scanned for Viruses already ?? Also them cause 100% load sometimes

 

 

maybe this helps

dude - overclock that thing... i have a 2600k as well and just used the stock cooling - nothing fancy and hit the "autotune" button in AI Suite II software to clock it up to 4.5Ghz. it runs smooth with no problems.

Thanks for the responce.

BitMaster the first command gives me invalid parameters. I dont know if its because im windows 7. In task manager it showed,

System 496K NT Kernel & System was at 99%

I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO but I wont OC until I get a H100

I looked and dont see how this could help. My computer has gone to 100% after opening helios. It has after opening firefox while DCS was down loading a traning mission,and while running Serif Photo Plus. I dont konw what else to do. Do I reformat again?

I guess you have to start all over from scratch and stay on the red line, aka ONLY install ONE AFTER THE OTHER while you watch what your OS does.

 

Try to provoke the same scenario ( there wasnt much needed to tilt it as far as I understood )

with the new install. Step by step.

 

Watch your drivers closely. If you run Win7 I highly recommend to update your patches with a downloadable package in your language, search google for it, winfuture.de has them in german, maybe other languages too.

 

Win7 will cause 100% CPU load sometimes ( known bug ) when the OS searches for updates.

You can bypass this thru disconnecting from the network, set Updates to DISABLE and THEN ONLY install the 2GB download pack that patches your OS from plain SP1 to up-2-date state.

If you do this with auto-update enabled and connected to www you will suffer hard, believe me, done this dozens of times and it is a No-Go situation, it may take DAYS to find the updates. MS is aware of it but there is NO REAL FIX for this as of now. The problem is over a year old btw...

 

 

I think, either you have a broken driver, suffer from MS Update bug or you are infected.
