Why CPU Perfomance is getting 100%

by Azhar Rahi Jul 21, 2007 6:57AM PDT

Hello Hope all of u will be fine and healthy
I have Pentium 4 with 1.7 GH celeron processor. From last 7 days almost, the system is showing 100% CPU perfomance, even then when the system just starts and no program runs even. when i check the processes, the I get that the System process (or service) is getting upto 97 percent of CPU. I have reinstalled the windows. Also my hard disk has no bad sectors. I have scanned all viruses with Updated Norton anti virus, online Panda anti virus scanning and bitdefender anti virus. But no vain. What the hell I must do or what u think about this trouble. Any suggestion please

This might take some patience to sort it out.

Could be heat,hardware,infection.

Do you have TREND MICRO,if not try it,but first disable your other AV.

Try AVG ANTISPYWARE

Scan in safe mode.
