Excessive CPU usage on a single core

Recommended Posts

Allrighty, I've been using uTorrent for quite some time, but two days ago it started to act weird. It started to use excessive amounts of CPU resources only on one of the cores.

System specs

LAPTOP Toshiba Satellite l750-1RE

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Service Pack 1

OS Version: 6.1.7601 (Win7 RTM)

CPU Type : Mobile QuadCore Intel Core i7-2670QM, 2800 MHz (28 x 100) with HyperThread Specs

uTorrent version: Irrelevant, all versions showed the same issue

uTorrent versions tried: 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.2, 3.2.1 (beta), 2.2.1

Antivirus program: Avast

Problem description:

Up until three days ago, I used to download torrents of all sizes (ranging 200MB to 40+ gigs - complete seasons in one torrent) and had no problems at all - if it was not for the network usage, utorrent was hardly noticeable (besides the occasional usage of 400+MBs of RAM).

However, since two days ago I am experiencing excessive CPU usage, system hanging due to uTorrent active torrents, crashes of uTorrent. Below I'll attach screenshots of the situation (one is with different wallpaper, had to change to basic theme, fixed it afterwards) - uTorrent with active torrents, without active torrents, not run at all.

I am using Avast as my antivirus software. Disabling the P2P shield, Network shield, and unchecking the "Scan files upon writing" did NOT improve the situation.

Today, I had my PC shut downed. After start up it behaved normally, until ~12GB were downloaded at max speed (2.2MB/s) then it started acting up again. Monitoring HDD activity (Windows gadgets) there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Windows firewall was turned on. After turning it off, it did not have any effect.

What I'm observing is the CPU usage goes up progressively as the download speed goes up. Upon start of a torrent, it goes up to ~40% constant usage with peaks, going up and above 1MB/s (8Mb/s) it peaks to the 90-100% usage and refuses to go higher.

Changing max global connections available at any range from 200 to 800 and even 1200; and max connections per torrent from 10 to 50 to 200 did not have the slightest effect.

I am also setting the affinity of the process of utorrent to any other core but with no effect as well.

Here I will list the things that have changed between 3 days ago (when I had no problems) and the period with problems:

1. Changed internet connection to cable from wifi

a) Since the purchase of the laptop, this is the first time the PC connects via cable

2. Changed partitions to which data is written onto

a) I ran out of free space on partition "D" which is used as data storage

B) I started downloading files onto partition "C", which is the system partition (partition with OS and all programs there are on my system)

3. Added a lot of torrents simultaneously

a) from usually 1-3 torrents, I added 30 torrents on one day. (All of them but two are magnet links)

I will post links to logs and pictures first. The actual logs and pics will be below the links

1. Hijackthis log

2. Process Explorer + dlls

3. Screenshots

NOTE to screenshots: In "Normal activity" Core 1 is green. In all the others is red. I changed it so it is better observed over the blue-ish RAM background color.

2. 100% CPU big monitoring.png file.html

3. CPU with torrents.png file.html

4. CPU with stopped torrents.png file.html

5. Cache settings.png file.html

Hope all of this helps, in case you need more information, I am more than welcome to provide it.

McAfee SiteAdvisor fully removed - standing by for further development. So far so good, but that was the case after the restart yesterday as well.

On another note, why would McAfee start interfering now, after 6 months of staying idle and not making a beep?

Due to the lack of proper internet connection, uTorrent will not be active in the next few days.

After the removal of McAfee site adviser, for the time being after the restart (~12-14GB download size) the CPU scored significantly lower usage. While one gadget still shows momentary peaks (refresh rate is set at 1 sec) which were not visible on the other gadget. The system has been stable, did not hang.

However, I would like to give it another try, this time leave it for longer period of time and greater torrent load (50+ GB)

Thank you for the quick answer, I think it really helped.
