ok, i m still trying to narrow down my problem over the PC usage!

PC= 2.7celeron, asusMB 2x512ram, video GF6200, HD80gb (C:system/ P: program) HD300gb(E:backup),

Soft= C: programfiles-basic windows comp. SP1-AVG-Msg(7.sth(not live))...see pc info-->http://www.redrival.com/orient/


Soft= P: programfiles-emule 47a . flash/dream/photoshop/vlc/..
...see pc info--> http://www.redrival.com/orient/

PROBLEM::

27process, as soon as i use any program (randomly) the process starts to spike all the cpu (so at 28process the new "program" will share with "system " all the % leaving none to my VERY VERY slow pc)

if i came to use other process over that well they would also share that 100%cpu but this time it would be between 3process?

now emule ais lways on.... so when cpu% starts to go up, emule will be one of the program sharing a big share of the 100%.... usually around 30%.........??why only at the time that i open a another program???

also realplayer, flash, vlc macromedia....well all i have!!!!!!! create that slow lag making all prosses trying to get all the PC usage!?!?

noy i have posted my PC info at this address with the "hijack this" log and the process behavior...

thanks!

Quick, practical summary and diagnosis notes. The Flash Catcher removal reported by (and msconfig advice from ) was sensible but didn’t fix the issue. The symptom — many processes and a big CPU spike whenever another program is opened — fits three broad categories: (A) heavy user-mode processes (P2P, media players, AV on-access scans), (B) disk/paging thrash because of low free RAM, and (C) kernel/driver activity (high “System” or hardware interrupts). Task Manager can be misleading: a high number in “System Idle Process” means the CPU is free; a high “System” or visible “Interrupts” points to drivers/hardware work.

Concrete, repeatable troubleshooting sequence (clean, test, repeat).

  • Boot Safe Mode: if the problem disappears, a third‑party driver/service/startup item is implicated.
  • Clean boot via msconfig: Services tab → check “Hide all Microsoft services” → disable the rest; Startup tab → uncheck nonessential items; reboot and test.
  • Temporarily stop eMule/other P2P and heavy media codecs and retest.
  • Use a process inspection tool (Process Explorer) to sort by CPU, then examine the offending process’s Threads/DPCs to find a driver or DLL causing kernel CPU.

Quick hardware and system checks.

  • Run disk checks and memory tests; bad disk or failing RAM causes severe hangs. Example commands (XP): 
    chkdsk C: /f /r
sfc /scannow   (XP may require the install CD)
  • Check Event Viewer for disk or driver errors, update chipset/network/audio/video drivers, and monitor CPU temps for throttling.

Other notes and cautions.

  • Run an up‑to‑date antivirus plus a dedicated anti‑malware scan (offline when disabling real‑time AV). Avoid registry “fixers” until the root cause is identified and always back up important data. If diagnostics remain inconclusive, a targeted reinstall (after backup) will confirm software vs hardware. Preserve HijackThis/Process Explorer output for helpers to analyze.

Post another hijack this log file here.that one can't make out.

Have you gone into MsConfig and shut down anything you don't need at startup?

Get this and run it.

Also do you have a virus detector and is it updated?

THat's it...i ll remove rightaway then... i thought that the problem appeared before the installation of the flash catcher!! we'll see!

so is it simply to uninstall the program or to del reg key??
i don't know much about reg key!
(by the way are the "registry mechanic type" of program anygood?)

thanks

Member Avatar for TT4Titans

If flash catcher is a program uninstall it through Add remove programs in control panel.

Run HJT and see if it's still there if so have it fix it.

Reg Mechanic is good and can be bad if you tell it to fix the wrong thing get this fixed first then we will go from there.

Member Avatar for pendejo

hjt doesn't show it anymore...so i guess it's all gone through add/remove.....but my performance didn't change at all..
..but stil the same lagging and hanging happening all the time randomly!#@!#?@!#>>#!

(does it mean that i can use the flash catcher?? i'll keep it out anyway for the time being to limit the possibilities)

any other idea?
