Hi,
Just a few minutes ago, I was browsing the fora for a bit, and suddenly my CPU usage goes to 100%, while I wasnt doing anything special or running any programs. Now, a few minutes later, my CPU is still at 100%.
This isn't the first time it happens. It's happened before, and usually I reboot my computer and my CPU usage is back to normal again. But now it happened yet another time, and I'm rather curious about the cause of this. Could it be one of the process going wild every now and then? I haven't many "nasty" programs installed on this machine, only stuff like mIRC, Winamp, Firefox and Microsoft Office, and spyware/virus scanning programs (which didnt return any bad file).
I was hoping that perhaps one of you might have had similar experiences, or know more about it. I'm not asking support for my problem, since I dont bother as long as I get no serious trouble, but Im asking out of curiosity.
Cheers

You have MSoffice installed => your OS is Windows...

Re: cpu usage stuck at 100%
I have observed this happening with Firefox. Maybe something related to some extension, quite annoying really...
You might to check out SysInternals' Process Explorer. It's a very nice and handy freeware tool.

I had this problem with McAffee virus scan. When doing an update, it would sometimes freeze, and when I killed it, the CPU continuted to run at 100%.

My CPU usage is always at 100%. Instead of letting my CPU cycles go to waste, I put them to good use in honor of medical research and for those we lost. My CPU Folds for Team 32 24/7 at 100%.

Check task manager to find the process doing that, and kill it 8)
