Hi there,
Yesterday my Desktop computer was working well, I was downloading video files from YouTube and there was power blackout and I don't have a UPS, my computer booted well when the power was back but am finding it difficult to launch any application, I have started the system Manager and it shows that the computer is 100% busy, how can I free the system to allow me to launch applications, and what could be consuming the system memory so much since my antivirus indicates no malware?
System resources 100% in use
Hello,
It seems highly unlikely that your system could have received a physical damage. I believe it’s the processes that are running in the background that are hogging the memory. Since you did not mention the OS you are using I am assuming it is Windows 8.
-
Right click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager”
-
On the windows that opens up click on the CPU tab. This will show you the processes taking up the maximum memory
-
Click on the unwanted process and End Process
-
Do not close “System Interrupts” or “Explorer”
-
Also Click on the startup tab and check if there are processes which are starting up and hogging your memory resources
-
These steps should solve your problem
