CPU is being used up???

Question

My comp is becoming really slow and when i look 2 see wut is taking up all the cpu it says "System Idle Process" is between 75-98% how do i stop this

Answer 1

Why would you want to stop it? That means that 75 to 98 % of the processor is available. :) If your machine is running slow, you should check the memory first. Not the processor.

Answer 2

Sys Idle is fine - prob is being caused by something else.

Things to check if you are running XP:
1. CURRENT antivirus.
2. All Windows Updates for your PC.
3. Anti spyware (Windows Defender, Spybot Search&Detroy, Ad-Aware, Spyblaster, Yahoo! Antispy and any others other Yahoo! users suggest).

Answer 3

Try this site:
