My Computer always and constantly stays at 100% CPU Usage.
If its a virus are there any steps on getting rid of it?
I have Norton but it does'nt say anything on a full system scan
Thanks

Also I want to add that I have 512 megs of ram and only 221 is availible
if 221 is available, then 100% isnt in use. i assume your taking about ram?
No. He is talking about CPU usage. Have you tried to restart your PC?
what are you doing with it?
:blink:
are you using it for anything, or is sitting idle?
check task manager for running processes and see what exactly is using up your cpu power
I dont know
It just stays at 100% CPU Usage
but I also have low RAM
I checked all the processes and they look normal.
The computer dont look or run as if its in 100% maybe its a bug......
Thanks alot anyways

what is your CPU speed? the last few Kazaa releases seem to just be real resource hogs. with a 1ghz CPU, K-Lite was using 90% or more... and now that i upgraded to 2ghz, it hangs around 40%-50%.
if it's possible to find it, you might wanna try digging up a Kazaa Lite version from 6 months ago (or older) and see how it does.
i'm a little puzzled by this...Quote:

i have an athlon 2700 (2.17GHz clock) and 512 meg of ram
when i use kazaa (version 2.4.0), with approx 2 active downloads and 1 active upload, my cpu usage is normally between 1 and 3%
the highest i've seen was 8 i think
:blink:
why is there such a range in the values of cpu usage?
Look in the task manager and see what process is using the cpu.
it's prolly to do with how many transfers you've got going simultaneously, as well.Quote:

maybe if you have a lot of large files transferring, the CPU usage goes through the roof. but for any program to constantly be going at 90-100%, that's still a bit excessive. it would be understandable if you were doing audio/video editing and it needed that kind of power to process the data... but it's just a fileshare program...
hmm, sorry, i assumed this was a K-Lite question since it's on the K-Lite forum... but the original post doesn't say that any specific program is causing the high CPU usage.
dunno what to tell you, then. there are prolly a lot of things that could be causing this. you might wanna go through your services and disable some of the stuff that you don't need. or it may just be a bug in the Task Manager, if your PC isn't acting any slower than normal...
probably spyware or a resource hacker.
thanks for the comments Ill guess I'll have to live with it becuase if I reformat now then it would be my 85th time doing it in 1 year :D
Thanks alot

Go to symantic.com and get the online virus scan just in case.
It could be two programs that are both running at the same time not responding very well together. I use to find when I ran kazaa and pc-cillin i couldnt do anything else with the pc, cpu usage was at 100% all the way through the download. Try to see if there is anything like that causing you the problem.
Also, check to make sure you didn't leave K-lite running its "automatically search for more sources" action. It has a tendency to take all bandwidth availiable after a few minutes of searching.
yeah, I wouldnt suggest reformatting yet, you might not need to.Quote:

About your ram problem it could be that your moboard doesnt accept ne thing higher than 512. Im not sure about the cpu but i remember having that same problem it was actually something in the bios :unsure: Is it running slugish or normal ?? It might be reporting 100% usage but it really isnt.
How many downloads do yo have either paused/queued/more sources/remotely queued???
any more than 50 and my pc decides to use 100% cpu.
Try moving some of the .dat files to another folder inside ur shared folder. this should help.
I'm using XP Pro and on my first installation of it, it had this problem,
it would stay using 100% of the cpu all the time,
so I just started ending processes in taskmanager,
and I discovered that Explorer was the problem,
when explorer wasn't running, it was fine,
but as soon as explorer started 100% was used again.
I had to reinstall windows to solve the problem.
You might have a similar problem, I know it sucked for me.
Use the task manager to see what process is taking up all your CPU resources, then kill that process.

Kazaa Lite only uses 5% resources on mine... :blink:
Look op (original poster) you're not telling us sh*t (no data). Are we supposed to guess? It's not magic you know. ;)
