100% CPU leads to reset button
Help! I can't stand it anymore. I'm tired of desktop lockups due to high cpu usage. I guess i'm asking too much of my cpu but I must multitask. I have little patience when this occurs and I resort to the reset button on my pc several times a day. Is there an app that would prevent such occurrences and limit or control usage by individual app? I need a CPU referee so competing apps play by the rules
Kaspersky might be the culprit
I hate to say this but your problem might be Kaspersky A/V, I used to love this virus scanner and in my opinion it is one of the very best at catching both known and unknown (viri?). however after version 3.5 the app really started consuming system resources and causing random lockups. Having said that I have not used it in some time and am therefore unsure about the most recent versions, but I had the exact same problems right after version 4 came out.
