Seriously, Chrome? You are running 13 different process that are consuming a TON of resources on my machine? Google Chrome in the task manager shows multiple instances and high CPU and memory usage When I did that, I saw something very, very interesting.Ĭhrome. The best way to see what is using all those CPU cycles is to switch to the Processes tab and then order the CPU column from highest to lowest by clicking the column header twice. As you can see from the image below, my CPU cycles are really high…that’s what I’m trying to figure out. You can see how your CPU(s) are performing by selecting the Performance tab.
You can open the Task Manager by choosing Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Since the easy stuff was done, but my CPU was still cycling high, I turned to the Windows Task Manager to see what might be causing the issue. Unfortunately, it didn’t really help speed up my computer, so I had to continue the search. I followed my own advice and used Defragler to clean up my hard drive space. Just to make sure that disk fragmentation wasn’t slowing the computer down. The final step I took was to defragment my hard drive. Took 30 minutes using the CCleaner tool, cleaned up quite a few old registry keys, but no luck in calming down my CPU. Since I didn’t find any offending malware installed, my next step was to clean my registry in case there were old registry keys that were mis-pointed or just out of date that would be hurting the performance. Here are links to a couple of tools that offer free trials that will get you going: If your computer is running slow, the first step is to run a spyware scan. BTW, if your PC is running slow and you haven’t run a spyware check recently, now would be a good time to do it. I spent a considerable amount of time looking for spyware to see if some malicious little software spy had been installed, but came up empty.
