Cpu Usage 100%

Why does it say CPU usage 100% when im not even running anything and i need to know because its wasting my laptops battery really fast.

How can I change it so it wont say 100% or use all of its power?

Its called system idle process, keeps it from freezing up and crashing after long periods of time

 

The Sytem idle process just shows how much of the CPU you are NOT using, I doubt it is causing your problem. In other words it doesn't decide on its own that make a decision and say "well it is time to idle a some more" it showing you the difference between what all the processes are using and what they are not.

 

hit cntrl alt delete scroll down ur processes list on the CPU part and youll see a process thats taking up 99% or somewhere around there

 

press ctrl+alt+delete, or Ctrl+shift+esc then make sure you have CPU usage visable. scroll down and see what is taking up all the %%%. if its mcshield.exe i can easily help you. if its system idle process dont worrk about it because that uses alot of CPU. shouldnt matter.

 

Now even Ctrl+Alt+Delete wont work for me.

 

maybe its a virus or spyware.. happend to me b4 spyware was the reason

 

give it a reboot and then try.

 

windows sux. Just format your disk and reinstall windows.

 

wow dont be an idiot.

what's wrong with a fresh install? I format my pc every 2 months or so.

 

See what is taking up so much and end the process.

 

so the system idle process is allways using %99 of the cpu?

 

yes but it doesn't slow down your system it jsut shows wat isn't being used.
