Do not experience this problem with flock and/or Fx, but with GoogleChrome some pages take a long, long time to download, sometimes the page will hang (consumes quite some CPU) and I have to close down that separate process. I do not know what is taking so much time to load in the page, cannot see anomalities in the GoogleCache with CacheViewer for GoogleChrome, disabled Java Quick Starter to release some CPU (sometimes intermittently within 2 minutes jsq.exe took up to 78% CPU). Some report it could be the security cheking inside GoogleChrome that takes so much time. Anyone with a clue as what to look for to cause this high mem consumption.
This for instance is a page where I experience this: http://www.telegraaf.nl
What is the best way to go about this excessive temporarily CPU consumption? If I do not use the browser CPU goes down to 3% and free system mem is 98%. That stays so for a while and after a minute mem and CPU peak again. Could this be hardware related or just some process stalling or caused by “overkill” because of low resources on XP SP3=
I will try out this Reclaim Memory: http://lifehacker.com/5418290/reclaim-memory-with-google-chromes-new-purge-memory-feature
What I did? I uninstalled a couple of CPU hogging programs and I launched a tool where I could tweak what started up (minimized that number of start-ups), and now I just run RUBotted, ImmunetProtect together with Avast, Secunia PSI and ZA. So my total mem consumption on this old XP SP3 is not higher than 60 % with streaming radio combined with GoogleChrome running a mere CPU 9%.
Also tested my CPU, see the picture attached.
What is true however is that modern browsers developed with Vista and Win7 capacity in mind are real CPU hogs, making an older OS going “on the top of its lungs”, so to say. Anyway the processors have a hard time to keep up because any 32 bit won’t deliver more as 4 GB,
what can a 512 K do there,
Just sent you another PM. 59 degrees celsius is way too much for idle mode. I believe the max. working temp for Celeron D was 67(on same variants 69). I bet it goes over that when it’s under load. Ideally you should keep in the low 60s or lower under max. load.
I read this here: Pentium D 830 and 840 (3.0-3.2GHz) 69.8°C
The max temp I have got was 61’ C at full 100% CPU consumption.
Note: Pentium 4 and Pentium D temperature specifications indicate the maximum cover temperature, which is typically lower than the temperature reported by the internal thermal diode. Therefore, your system may be running fine even if the reported “CPU temperature” in the BIOS is higher than the temperature specified here. This does not mean that you’re on the safe side, though. How to know this?
Old School Damian, feel the cooler with your hand, if it burns you it’s definitely too hot. ;D You stress test it my friend. Something like Prime95 is what you seek.
It’s simple, just fire it up select just stress testing and then start a torture test. Leave everything at default and press ok. Leave it running for a few hours(i usually let it run over the night) and if it’s still running after a few hours the machine is stable and if it stopped it’s not. Very simple. ;D
