Could OCZ 2*512 plat rev 2 ram cause high cpu usage with Asrock dual939? AMD Power monitor says that my core is 90-100%. I just did a clean install. What could it be?

Under the Performance tab My CPU Usage and history is 90-100%I.M.O.G. said:System IDLE process indicates the time your CPU is standing IDLE.
If system idle process is 99 that means your computer ain't doing squat. If you go into task manager on the performance TAB, your CPU usage percentage there will be very low.
If your CPU usage is high, a different process will consume that processor time.
Also, your wasting your time with garbage like PCpitstop. Teh results you got were just telling you that the PC pitstopscan was using 10% of your CPU power and 25% of your RAM, including any services you had running in the background. Thats, essentially, meaningless.
Are you saying the CPU usage green bar is all the way to top (100%)?jab635 said:Under the Performance tab My CPU Usage and history is 90-100%
When I use AMD Power Monitor it shows the same thing. My computer is at idle.
Greenbar is all the way up top. Idle process is 99, but when I start anything it drops to zero. XP is a clean install. I tried clean installs of XP, XP64, 2003 and I get the same problem. It takes forever just to install any driver. I am sure its not the OS.ochungry said:Are you saying the CPU usage green bar is all the way to top (100%)?
if so, the something is running and using up the CPU. click the processes tab(not processor as CPU) and see which program is using CPU. if nothing is running the "system idle process" should be 98-99 under CPU column.
if you see any other under "image name" column is using the CPU(100% as you state) then that's the one causing it. end the process there and/or un-install that software. you may have corrupted winxp OS and has to fresh reinstall it. repairing winxp or restoring it to a point may do it. But best to fresh install OS if don't know what corrupted it.
