chillax Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 CPU USAGE oftenly increase up to 100% i dunno why. I already tried to reformat. I already updated my hardwares. I also add 1gig ram but then it start to corrupt my files and os, I used to replace it but then it have same problem so i use my stock 256ram . I also tried to switch harddisk and install os but then same problem. Im not a hardcore gamer or so what that need high performance. Could it be my processor or motherboard? How about registry?

Boris Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 With only 256MB physical RAM your CPU will be working continually swapping files to/from Virtual memory (the Page file). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 In Task Manager go to the Processes tab to see what is actually using all that CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillax Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I used to play online games lately using 256 ram and now i cannot even watch videos. Here is example of 100% Usage with process displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 - What version of Firefox do you use?- What version of Flash Player do you use?- Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter?- Does it also happen when you start Firefox in safe mode?

But then same performance.- What version of Firefox do you use?- What version of Flash Player do you use?- Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter?- Does it also happen when you start Firefox in safe mode?-3.6-10.1-Yes.-Yes, same performance.

crovax85 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Flash uses an accelerated hardware mode that uses your cpu to perform better. So chances are that the Flash Video Codec that youtube uses is making your processor run at 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
