Why does my CPU usage jump to 100% when using SwishMax?

swish max uses lot of CPU power\nbut it should not use 100% unless you are rendering something\nwhat is your CPU speed

It's a memory leak.  A type of bug.  When the program uses a section of memory, it never gives it up when its done - so eventually it expands to include all of your usable space.\n\nFile a bug complaint and wait for a patch.

Sounds like your having a RAM problem, You could try adjusting the games you are playing, so that they don't use up so much of the memory in 1 whack, other than that, unless you install more ram then ye can't play yer games\n\nR3dm0

There is a process running that takes up most, if not all, of your CPU.  The next time this happens hit control+alt+delete and click the processes tab, then click the CPU column twice to see what process is taking up your CPU.  Write down the process and get back to me.  It may be malware, or it may be something else.  I can tell you more if you can get the name of the process.

could be you have too many processes running in your backgound. Check taskmanager

check for spyware, get Windows Defender free from Microsoft, Also you might want to check your CPU fan for proper cooling, if it is if it isnt running at max speed your CPU will overheat causing it to run slow

Contrary to what the processes box says is running and what is not is not always 100% true. Your OS alone depending on what version and what its performing can take a bit of your memory but not that much. Seems to me you have one of two things. You either have a virus running in the back ground using your computer as a slave, or you burnt out one of your memory sticks, which is highly possible.

Based on my own experience, I don't believe RAM usage is the problem.\n\nIf your computer is actually spontaneously powering off, the problem is most likely that your computer's power supply cannot meet your hardware's power requirements.  I would suggest you have a professional replace your power supply with one that supplies at least 430W.\n\nTo answer the question you asked, however, what you can do to minimize RAM usage is use the System Configuration Utility to disable Startup Items from loading.\n\nTo do this, click Start -> Run, type:\nmsconfig\nand click OK.  Click Selective Startup, uncheck the Load Startup Items box, and click OK.  Let it restart your computer when it asks to do so.\n\nOn restart, it will remind you that you used the System Configuration Utility to change your startup.  Just click OK.  Then start your game.\n\nNote that it is not unusual for a game to max out your system resources -- the more RAM it has the better it will typically perform.\n\nAlso note that using this method *may* prevent your antivirus from loading.  If this is the case, you need to make sure that all you do, while your system is configured this way, is play your game.\n\nTo return your system back to its normal configuration, follow the instructions above to get back into the System Configuration Utility, click Normal Startup and then click OK.  Let it restart the system when it prompts you to do so.

I have the same problem. It's a result of use and the memory taken up by the programs installed.

the processes are to heavy for the amount of RAM you have... get more RAM. x

Maybe you need to install more RAM or increase the Virtual Memory. Read this about RAM Booster. http://forums.pcworld.co.nz/showthread.php?t=14202

I assume you've updated all fixes and patches, and are still getting either a divide by zero or insufficient memory error.\n\nHave you tried rightclicking the icon and tinkering with the compatability settings. Sometimes that does the trick.

Well, just by this discription, its difficult to predict. But lets investigate. Press ctrl+alt+del and Go To Process Tab. There would be processes showing CPU usage. Press the CPU top bar twice, to show CPU usage in descending order. Don't close it. Now write the same command as you had mentioned, and while it is doing the slow working, go to the Process window you had just opened. Observe which process is taking unusually high CPU , excepting the process titled 'System Idle Process'. It might be a virus or a spyware. Report the process in your next question. I am waiting for a quick response from your side, and waiting for this question to be selected as a good answer\n\n\nAfter additional details.\nWell, I feel the way I mentioned above is the best to know that. I too have observed this thing with many computers, and the reason in majority of them for slow stand by or shut down was that they had a good amount of load. I don't remember the exact detals, but when you close your PC, it saves some info before shutdown. You can do the following:\n\n[Start] [Run] [Regedit]\nRegistry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SYSTEM&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Contro\nl\nModify/Create the Value Name [WaitToKillServiceTimeout] according to the Value Data listed below.\nData Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: WaitToKillServiceTimeout\nValue Data: [Default = 20,000 (expressed in milliseconds) Modify to preference.]\n*set to 1000*\nit will definately speed up the shutdown of your pc.\nExit Registry and Reboot

All the processes use the CPU, but only one can be "active". The others work in the background

Here's a few things you might want to think about:\n\nPress {windows} and {pause break} and see if it's reporting your full memory amount.  \n\nWatch the performance tab in task manager and watch your memory usage as you copy and paste.\n\nAre you managing your swap file manually or do you let Windows do it?  \n\nAlso, try running memtest to check your memory for errors:\n\nhttp://hcidesign.com/memtest/MemTest.zip

Open the Windows Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Del on the keyboard), go to the Processes tab and see which process is hogging the CPU.  Then post here again...
