CPU Problems

Okay, so I'm having problems with my CPU Usage, which seems to be lagging my games. It starts out low, and then like 10 minutes later it rockets to the 80's-90's, which I noticed lags my games. How do I make it stop going extremely high? Its like a cycle, low, high, low, etc.

You could open Task Manager (right click taskbar, Task Manager) and see what the offending process eating all the CPU cycles is :p

Well, I don't really know what this means, but when I click on the processes tab at the bottom it says:

Processes: 53 CPU Usage: (%) Commit Charge: 482M/1228M

Is this bad?

53 processes is a lot. I have about 33 open right now. What all are they?

I don't know what half of those are...

So, some of those have my username next to them, and the others have SYSTEM. Should I delete the ones that aren't SYSTEM? And I noticed that "System Idle Process" has a CP of up to 92...

EDIT: Also, I noticed that svchost.exe is in there like 5 or 6 times. What the hell is that thing?

I hope you typoed the first one: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...q=msnmesgr.exe

It's normal to have several instances of svchost

I'm rather concerned that you use Real Player xD

And quite a few of the services seem to be for wireless interneting.

Well, the Yahoo widget engine is probably one offender :P I hear those widgets go crazy on your resources.

Rubah: Yeah, I typoed that :p

And Hsu: Okay, I'll try deleting that one.

What else is going wrong?
