UNSOLVED
my XP system remains 15%-25% CPU usage at all time
hi all,
Anyone have any idea why system process is eating up my CPU cycle even though my system is idle? I have already closed all applications and not doing anything and CPU is remains 15%-25% in use?????
I go to check which process is using the CPU and it is "SYSTEM", I have formatted my hard drive and reinstall XP (the CD that come with the Dell's system) and it is still doing the same thing????????
Any idea??
Thanks in advance.

- I had problems with memory when I first got my Dell 8100 w/WINME. I was directed here and made a couple of adjustments. Now I’m running fairly smooth. The "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" edit of System.ini file made a difference as far as recovery of resources. The tech at Dell had me changing something else in there I can’t remember. Read the page and maybe see if it helps. Not sure any of this is applicable to you but it’s very informative reading.
Also, I read that NTFS runs faster in XP than the FAT file system. If your not using it, you might consider converting.
