100% CPU usage when uploading

youtin · 08-24-2006, 02:28 PM

I'm having a pesky problem. My browser uses up 100% CPU usage when uploading! This happens when I upload to file hosting sites like megaupload, yousendit, rapidshare, etc... Firefox is a resource hog in my system so I thought it was Firefox's problem at first, but when I tried using IE and Opera, the same thing happens. (Opera worked fine at first, but also started taking up 100% CPU with the next file I uploaded). The moment I kill off the uploading tab, everything goes back to normal.

I don't have any problems uploading with torrents, though. I'm at a loss. Can anybody please help me?

sounds like you have a virus...have you downloaded anything recently? if so double check these files to make sure they are legit files and not the culprits also you should do a scan disk check

forgot to mention i had this problem not long ago and it was an issue with the radeon omega drivers...i went back to the newest cats and all is well..hard to believe video drivers can cause these problems but they did

Hey, I'm using radeon omega drivers too! This could be the culprit. I'd like to try switching to the original ati drivers but I don't know which to download from ati's website. (I can't tell which model is my graphics card) How can I tell?

Thanks~!
