Thread: Task Manager uses 100% system resources


hi all,

weird one....

tested old usb video camera before sending family member them use skype. worked fine in brief test cheese, made short video. when tried use google talk session, heard loud pulsing high pitched audio tone during entire chat. few seconds after hanging up, tone stopped itself.

however, computer ran real slow , discovered task manager using 100 percent of processor!! attached screen capture.

unplugged camera, no change. closed firefox, no change. uninstalled cheese (i had installed minutes before in order test camera). restarted computer, no change. logged out of account , logged in super users account , found task manager still using system resources.

so, downloaded system monitor using synaptic make sure had dependencies included. system monitor showed same type of behavior.....with system monitor running, using 100 percent of system resources.

i'm running xubuntu 12.04 in old p4 desktop system (msi motherboard, 1.5 gb of ram).

have been getting crash reports, started when 12.04 installed. prompted click on icon in top panel more details, nothing happens when click there. i've been using computer quite awhile, , doesn't shut down itself. can hear harddrive park, doesn't power down. have touch power button, , shuts off instantly tho.ugh. i've regarded problem (which intermittent) annoyance though.

appreciate help.

regards,

i'm going mark 1 solved.

problem turned out have nothing new software, video camera test or odd behavior of video cam after hooked up.

after lots of searching, reinstallation of task manager fixed problem.

enjoy.
