TheKastOne Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hello PC Pitstop, I recently ran into an issue after installing PowerISO that is as follows. Whenever I use a web browser (IE or Mozilla) my CPU usage is low for a little while then it jumps to about 50 to 90% and goes up and down for minutes in that range. What the heck is going? Trying to watch a movie online becomes a pain due to freezing of a frame and I do have a quick internet connection. I do not have a previous restore point and I scanned in safe mode with malware bytes, registry cleaner and avast antivirus and found nothing that fixed the problem. Help would be much appreciated.

mme Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 what about process explorer Link to post Share on other sites
TheKastOne Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 what about process explorer I do see 2 csrss.exe processes, but i dont really know what to make out of all of it...my computer does seem to be acting normal again, however I am kind of worried. Link to post Share on other sites
mme Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 you could leave process explorer open and as soon as your cpu starts getting high right click on the csrss.exe or the process with the highest number then click on the properties choose the threads tab you should see the high numbers in the CswitchDelta column you could post the thread name it can be looked up to see if its a critical thread Link to post Share on other sites
