Problem i7

[harly2]

Just got home from a long shift at work to find that my CPU is under constant load. I keep a clean computer I just can't find the issue. I do not seem to have any virus's or malware. Can anyone help.


Windows 7 64 bit
Dell Studio XPS 1645
I7 720


Really frustrated, it is definitely hurting performance

Is it a high percentage load, or is it more like a background task, keeping the CPU at a more middling load?

crtl,alt,delete go to task manager process's tell me how many sv host there are or what is taking up the most % of the cpu it will show.

well I noticed my turbo boost gauge for the i7 is going nuts up down up down.... fan blowing hard. system idle process is at 88 msmpeng.exe is at 10 to 12

overall cpu usage is at 12 and the jumps not on all 4 cores

If MSMPENG.EXE is constantly consuming excessive memory and CPU, there is a conflict on your PC with another process or service. I would recommend disabling all startup items via MSCONFIG. If the problem goes away, enable startup items one at a time until the conflict is identified. You can also contact support for assistance.

There has been no single item identified that causes the MSMPENG CPU problem. This problem was very high in v1.5, but was mostly resolved in v1.6 and v2.0. There may still be some lingering conflicts that need to be identified.

I temporarily ended that particular process, solved the issue. Do I need that running?

Usally that has somthing to do with msn live features you need to disable start up programs untill you find it, or uninstall msn items and see if this fixes it.

I have a service pack installing that must have came out while I was away, could have a fix in there for it, I will reactivate the service after updates are complete to see if the issue arises again

Yeah the service pack could have installed a msn program but then again that might not be is this is trail and error here at least right now i lead you to the way you can temp fix it.
