Internet Explorer 7 problems

ITgeeks — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 15:58:32 +0000

I have a PC that is freezing up all the time. The Task Manager “process” state that the “iexplorer.exe” is going above 80% and the CPU Usage is “100%”. Most of my time, I am not using Internet Explorer. I am currently using IE 7.

Is this issue because IE 7? Should I downgrade to IE 6? Would this help solving the problem?

Windows 7 Troubleshooting difficulties

DAXQ — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:00:48 +0000

I am having difficulties troubleshooting a Windows 7 Issue. The computer slows to a crawl randomly. When it does, it takes about 1 to 2 minutes to open a windows or change from one program to the next. Some times, it can take 3 – 5 minutes to get Task Manager running. Once that is running, all 4 CPUs look idle, RAM is pegged at about 2 gig, and no process is running amuck – system idle is around 99.

When I looked into the resource monitor (took anohter 3 – 4 min to launch) I saw only 4 processes:
atiesrxx.exe
svchost.exe(LocalSystemNet…)
svchost.exe(NetSvcs)
svchost.exe(LocalServiceNet)
nothing else – when I tried to kill atiesrxx.exe I was told it could not be killed so I started trying to remove any thing else I could one at a time to see if anything would shake loose. Before I could kill anything else, the task bar disappeared, and a few minuets later – it looked everything had reset itself – there where many process in the resource monitor now, still nothing very interesting in task manager and the slowness was gone. I ran a system update to ensure the PC was upto date, (there was like 23mb worth of updates – nothing big) and it has been running fine since. But as I said, this has happened in the past, and I am expecting it will return. The user has no problem with this PC as far as performance unless it is doing this bog down thing it does every couple of days.
Any assitance or advice in helping determine the culprit is greatly appriciated.

Reducing CPU usage on a SQL Server application

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:28:20 +0000

I have Windows Server 2003 and with SQL Server 2005 installed. I run my timesheet software on that SQL server, but CPU usage reaches 70% to 80% when the program is running on many consoles on the client side. Is there a solution to reduce CPU usage?

How to capture CPU utilization efficiently in various Unix m/c’s?

Saimadhu — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:44:08 +0000

We need to capture CPU utilization while load run of our testing in different environments (solaris, Linux, AIX) with single or multi cpu’s.

In Solaris, presently we are capturing CPU utlization using prstat.

In Linux there are many commands like vmstat, mpstat, top, sar etc.
Which is the best and reliable command?
