545608	2007-04-30 07:49:00	I turned on my computer a short while ago, and when I did, I tried to open up my USB and the computer became really slow. I checked the CPU Usage (under the Ctrl+Alt+Delete >> Performance tab) and it was up at about 90-100%! ***? :waughh: All I had done is loaded up my desktop and plugged in my USB. So I restarted, and I could still barely do anything. I couldn't open any programs and everything kept freezing. I tried to do a Spyware scan, but I couldn't even open the program to do so! So eventually I just turned off the computer, waited 5 minutes, turned it on again and here we are, back to normal (CPU levels fine). So what I want to know is, why did it do this? Was it something to do with inserting my USB not long after the desktop had loaded? That's the only reason I can think of, at this stage... Thanks.	Chris815 (10270)
545609	2007-04-30 08:15:00	probably, windows went off and tried to scan for all drivers and got its knickers in a twist when it was also loading drivers. I have had similar in the past and either plug in the usb device before boot or after its started properly. Just had firewaire give me similar trouble caused a reboot! VISTA too...	zcc (50)
545610	2007-04-30 08:19:00	Chris you did not have a look at the "Processes" tab to see what process was using up all your cpu? If this happens again, have a look at the "Processes" tab & see what process is doing this.	stu161204 (123)
545611	2007-04-30 08:23:00	I tried to open up my USB and the computer became really slow. Your USB what?	pctek (84)

If this happens again, have a look at the "Processes" tab & see what process is doing this. I did, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Just the usual processes. Your USB what? Flash drive, of course!	Chris815 (10270)

That maybe the problem. Just yesterday I foolishly plugged in my USB MP3 player while Vista was loading. Damn thing gave me a BSoD, and refused to boot Vista twice even after hard resets.	qazwsxokmijn (102)
545614	2007-04-30 10:23:00	Is it normal for the CPU to get up to 100% every now and then?	Chris815 (10270)
545615	2007-04-30 10:24:00	You are wanting us to tell you why the CPU usage was high? only you can answer that one without a Hijackthis log ;) As Stu said, next time it happens look under the Processes tad and even though you shouldn't see anything out of the ordinary, it tells you the % of the CPU each process is using, which one is using the 90-100%?
