How to check which program for CPU Usage?

Greg · 12-09-2005, 08:15 PM

Hi, if task manager shows CPU Usage at 100% and I want to see what program is causing it to run that way, how do I check for it?

Check on task manager's Processes tab. scroll down and look which programs have a high cpu usage percentage.

100% CPU usage it perfectly normal because of the system idle process, which fills up any unused cpu power....for reasons unknown to me.

1.The system idle task isnt counted in the CPU useage
2. The idle task is needed to give the cpu something to do in order to preserve the statemachine (or else the machine would lock up as soon as you stop "doing stuff")

Oh, I see...even though it says 99%, at the bottom the CPU usage is on ly 1%.
