How do i nail down the Perfomanceeater

Post by PicassoCT »

Every now and then my pc freezes over for a second and i have one of the cores completely busy for a short peak. Any suggestions how i can nail down the program that three-key-stroke-outs my PC? Yes i know the Adminstrativ-Tools, and while the show the peak in various curves, they dont show the freezepeak-convict..

Help is appreciated, also all those ever trolled, this is a chance to get a hit back on the painpinata. Free for all

You can of course look into the task manager and see whats eating your cpu time.
it should be 100% if it freezes for a few seconds.

Or deactivate all services that are strange.
(This gets hard in win7 because there are a lot of services compared to xp)

Type in "msconfig" in the start menu, deactivate all bullshit programms that start automatically.


And it could be a hardware problem too overheating or something.

ive tried, i provocated it- and funny thing is- i see the performance peak on the taskmanager, but the freeze over hides the application itself. Msconfig was already very empty, and i kicked at some realtek drivers. lets hope and pray... thx for the ripply by the way.

i've had issues with both games and applications when opening files; a short freeze sometimes

i add them to the "allow" list on my antivirus and it seems to work; maybe try that if its the same application giving you grief

also im not sure what vers of max you're using, but i had a few issues with it lagging a while back; it is now consigned to work on one core directly by setting the affinity or whatever its called (the vers i have supports only one core) and that seemed to help as well.

the history graph in process explorer will tell you which program was taking the most cpu.
keep the stats running in the background and check the graph after a spike.

Interesting I have an issue of spikes in Spring...
Ima give this a try.
I don't really understand how to see the running process and how much cpu power they used in the past,only what is going on right now.

It's possible that a worm is the culprit which stresses the network service. Go see if one of the svchosts is causing the lag spike and look at the Command Line column
