i am using legitimate win 7 ultimate x32 bit OEM edition which came pre installed with my pc. and i installed all updates upto today. my question is when i am surfing for more than 2 hours my pc got 100% cpu usage when i check my task manager one process called system is running and using more than 80% cpu resources and description says windows nt kernel if i kill that process then also it is running in background for more than 15 minutes. in that meantime everything in my desktop flicks and hangs as well as i can't use my computer for that particular time i have to leave my pc idle. after 15 minutes or so everything backs to normal. my biggest surprise is i am only seeing these thing or this thing is common. so please anybody can clarify my doubt please.
Maybe you have virus dude. Try using malwarebytes and I suggest avira free for keeping clean pc wise...lol
sorry to say this dude i purchased this pc 25 days before only and before communication to the internet i just install dr.web antivirus and outpost security suite as well as both are enabled realtime scanning along with MBAM as on demand scan. and lastly i scanned with everything i installed AV, AM, OSS, and also with windows defender found nothing. clean pc. and i like to know there is any process running in your pc called system. for reference i attached one photo highlighting that process for clarification. so please check it out and say. thanks for your kind reply.
Correct me if I'm wrong... are you using 2 anti-virus progs running in real time at the same time? Dr Web and Outpost Security Suite(with anti-virus) ? If that is the case, a conflict is a posibility...
Is there something wrong with you this guy has a legitimate copy of windows forget the daz loader he should have recovery partition/dvd or OEM SLP dvd.
System windows NT Kernel and System running is normal but it is only 40k on my machine that is obviously down to proccesses running on machine that will vary. I would say you have virus or malware.
I agree with ioftro. You need to get rid of one of your anti-virus programs. No one recommand's using two anti-virus programs together. You think you have problems now wait till your computer locks up and you can't even log on. Outpost is a highly rated firewall. I would lose Dr. Web fast. Outpost Security Suite: Advanced firewall for secure connections Combined antivirus and antispyware for all-in-one malware defense Host protection to block zero-day threats Web control to protect your PC from web-borne threats Antispam to automatically keep your inbox junk-free
thanks for all of your suggestion and i am not installed and running 2 realtime antivirus in my pc. outpost just a firewall only no other av components installed. ok my bad time let me see myself solving the problem. problem not solved wipe the hdd and install linux ( best option i have right now)
install linix i wouldn't think so i would restore machine to factory state if you have a recovery partition or dvd, if you are still having problems take it back to shop it's only 25 days old.
I see 3 processes (i.e. spiderguard) which are probably AV related (though I am not familiar with the ones you are using). I agree with some of my other valuable team members that I would uninstall the AV programs first as they are known to spike CPU usage. HTH
Hardware I had a problem I couldn't find the answer for, about a year ago. My notebook's battery was old and starting acting up. One of my processors went 100%, the other stayed at normal levels. It took me a minute or so just to type my password. Took the battery off. No problem whatsoever. Maybe you have a hardware issue. IMHO you should try running a Live Windows or Linux and see if the problem remains.
urie is right. Take it back to shop, linux is not the solution. You paid good money for that computer and it's only 25 days old or so ... Like urie said, restore it to factory state, do not install anything else and observe its performance. If it behaves properly then proceed installing the other softwares one at a time. Diagnose it systematically and then if it fails the solution is to send it back to manufacturer. I use linux too but it's not the solution here. Good luck.
I would recommend to update ur system drivers. If that does not help take it back to the shop as urie said.
