sz-whats running in your task manager?

I noticed I have two programs running which keeps my cpu at 30%-40% most of the time:
spoolsv.exe
csrss.exe

on average, both take a total of 30-40% of cpu. I know they are required by windows (ie: not a virus as far as I know) but anybody running with hardly any cpu time?

 

Mine basically sits there at 0-3%.

 

I added a NHC and office. now I'm stuck with 30% cpu use. I have no idea whats using those programs
btw, in stamina mode it goes away. I refuse to believe its the nvidia card

 

near-0% usage here as well when idle.

perhaps it's your nvidia drivers? is it a clean install?

 

spoolsv.exe is the print/fax spooler.
csrss.exe is a core Windows component.

I've seen reports of problems with these two processes taking CPU time before (not specific to the SZ, going back years) however I don't see any actual solutions.

 

try process explorer from sysinternals.com to see more detailed
info on processes - it helped me solve a problem recently as well.

 

Hmm ok, i'll try and do that.

 

Ok, I have no idea but I think the nvidia has something to do with this. There was a task with nv something in it and I shut it down (it wasnt using up cpu time, but I read something about nvidia) and when I did that, the spool and csrss dissapeared. and now I'm back to 1%. Anybody else using "Speed" setting NOT having this cpu issue? Did you upgrade the processor or update the bios(I didnt do that yet)

 

I removed my office icon. I find it useless.

 

huh?
was this a reply to something I said?

 

oh did anybody else enable in nvidia's setup the "log my temp" option? I'm wondering if its that. Reason is I uncheckmark it and when I go back in, its enabled again.

 

Yay! I reinstalled (had to dload the vid drivers from sony as they dont reinstall nicely) and the two processes went away and I don't have the "log temp" thing checked.
