Either there is a virus in your computer but your antivirus software just can't detect it or the memory manager is running in the background.


I get a warning on my PC that says my CPU usage is at 80 percent what do i do?

If your CPU usage is at 80%, you are probably trying to run too many programs at once. Try closing some programs, especially any that are processor-intensive (games, photo/video processing, etc).

What happened if CPU reaches 100 percent in usage?

With modern processors all that should happen is that they will automatically slow themselves down (though the usage will still show as 100%) to prevent the danger of overheating. In theory, at least, running at 100% usage should not be harmful to the processor.


What percent should your CPU usage run?

It depends on how many programs you run and how many programs ur operating system runs in the background. It also has to do with what processor you run and what operating system you use. On an average if you have any processor of Pentium 4 and up with a bare windows xp installation your CPU usage when the computer is idle it shoudnt be more than 8-10%.

Why your computer shows high memory usage?

The memory usage might be high because you have a lot of programs or tasks running in the background of your PC. To fix this right click your task bar and hit "Task Manager".
