    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    I could not find the program on the CD, but going into the startup and disabling PC Health and State Manager seems to have done the job. I read on a couple of websites that there are patches you can run that will permanently disable the Restore function, so I downloaded one and ran it, but it...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    Well, I rebooted, and of course, STMGR.EXE was running again with 4 threads. I waited 6 mminutes (this time it took 6:20, so there goes my 6 minutes exactly theory) and that one thread started sucking up all the CPU. I killed the thread and now all is well, but now what? Will I have to start...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    Well sports fans, I found the problem. Now, what to do about it. I found an excellent program called Another Task Manager 3.0 (go to http://download.com.com/3000-2094-6771750.html?tag=lst-0-11 if you want to check it out) It is the only one I found that shows CPU usage by process for Win98...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    Unfortunately, I think I have to agree with you garwain. So far, I have uninstalled every program that I put on my computer in the past 6 months, and it has made no difference. I think that the culprit must be some .dll file that has gotten corrupted and starts running in overdrive in the...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    OK, I started my machine is safe mode and the problem didnot reoccur,so that tells me that it has to be a software problem, right? I uninstalled any new programs that I had recently installed, but it that made no difference. Does anyone know of a program that I can install that will show all...

    OK, so how does one go about finding and correcting a memory leak?

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    CTRL+ALT+DEL shows that there are 11 processes running if my machine is idle. Yes, I have tried shutting each one down to see if it frees up the processor, but nothing works. THe CPU temp stays pretty stable 105-110 F. The strange thing is that no matter how many things I am doing, no matter...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    So, basically what everyone is telling me is that I should get rid of Windows ME. I've had this OS running for over a year now and this is the first problem I have encountered. I originally had 98, then upgraded to SE, and I kept getting the old blue screen. So when a friend offered to burn...

    CPU usage goes to 100% after 6 minutes idle

    Every time I let my system sit idle, after exactly 6 minutes, the CPU usage jumps up to 100%,and never comes back down. Can anyone explain why this might be happening? I have been looking for a program that shows CPU usage by application, but I can't seem to find one that works on Windows Me...
