Explorer.exe using 99% CPU
- Thread starter bfindlay
- Start date
This computer is sliding rapidly downhill. It now crashes several times a day - the type of crash where I have to unplug it to regain control. Often I get dialog boxes saying firefox, or other programs can't be opened because they are not a valid win32 application - and they refuse to launch. This is usually cured by a restart - till next time.
Whats the move? I have had this computer less than six months, and do not look forward to re-installing windows just to fix basic functionality. The only scan that 'found anything' (I am not convinced that it is real - could be a false positive - strange that no other scan - including AVG found anything) was Kaspersky - but it did nothing about it. Seems to be no cure to 'the problem'.

You should enable System Restore.
Hmm we could try with another scanner...
Hmm we could try with another scanner...
- Please go HERE to run PandaActiveScan...
- Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
- A new window will open...click the Check Now button
- Enter your Country
- Enter your State/Province
- Enter your e-mail address and click send
- Select either Home User or Company
- Click the big Scan Now button
- If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
- It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
- When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
- When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report.
It scanned - locked up (had to pull the plug). Scanned again, found only the process.exe - kill file in the Battle of Brittain game folder we found earlier. (Not a malicious file, a batch file for quitting processes to enable better framerates).
In short it did NOT find the two that kaspersky complains about. None of these anti-spyware/virus programs have yet to agree on anything on this computer.
The comptuer has frozen solid 3 times today so far.

Hello
Let's see how your harddrive looks...
You could install the free trial of Hddlife and run some tests with it. It may shed some light to this problem.
:bigthumb:
No luck. The trial version only allows testing of the 'first drive'. I have three physical drives (Drive 'F:' is the one that kaspersky keeps identifying a virus in the system restore - even though I have disabled SR, rebooted, and re-enabled it)
Hello
Sorry for the delay. I thought that I already replied...wonder what happened to my message :spider:
The problem might be caused by overheating too. Have you checked the temperatures?
Install this EVEREST Free Edition 2.20
Run the program -> Computer -> Sensor
Check the temperatures

Complete Everest report
Well, I thought I may as well do a complete report...the temperatures did not report for the CPU or motherboard, but DID report for the GPU and hard drives. (two of them - the SATA drive did NOT report. However this drive was the only drive tested by HDDlife and it reported fine, and the temperature report was acceptable on it as well).
Note - when my machine starts up, the GPU fan moans quite loudly. This can be 'stopped' by giving it a Fonzie like swat after it has been running awhile. I blew air on all fans yesterday, but it had no effect on the GPU fan. Very, very loud at times.

Oops - forgot the report.

Hmm the results showed that your computer should have enough memory and power...I still think that this might be a physical problem...
Let's see this just in case.
Make a new folder in the C:\drive called silentrunners
Download 'silent runners" from here: (direct download)
http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent Runners.vbs
Save it to your silentrunners folder.
Click start> run> type cmd and hit enter
Type the following exactly and hit enter after each line.
cd c:\silentrunners and hit enter
"silent runners.vbs" -all and hit enter
Wait until it pops up saying its completed, then post the resulting logfile here
It will be very large. You may need several posts to include everything

The folders where you have those pics and videos and the pc freezes - how big are the folders ?
:bigthumb:
Mr Jak - I think we found it!
Ok, after all that - I think the problem was Real Player! I uninstalled it completely, and I can't reproduce any of the issues. Certainly the folder browsing driving CPU to 99% has stopped, and so far (several hours now -a record recently) the computer has not crashed!!
Woo hoo!
Hope this is truly it. Never, repeat never again will anything from Realnetworks touch this machine again.
Thank God I didn't have to re-format etc.
THanks so much for your patient help over the past few weeks. I am now convinced that the machine IS clean, and windows itself may not be damaged.
Again - thank you! :bigthumb:
