CPU at 100% (Part 2 – final)
by jcf. Average Reading Time: less than a minute.
The friendly people over on Joi’s IRC channel #joiito helped me by having me look at the Task Manager “Show Kernel Process” option. Then I wandered through the options and saw that the update frequence of the graph display was set to to “stopped”. Still wondering why it continued to show 100% CPU even when there was nothing going on.
Setting the graph to update regularly, showed me that my system is in a normal state… Pheeew
Thanks for sharing that tip… My desktop machine (the one that the kids trash) has what I thought was a mangled Task Manager as it never seemed to update the stats once you start it. I thought this was due to a virus problem I had awhile back. But I think it’s now the update settings I never noticed! Cool!
