CPU spikes

[ranafuineluva]

Hi all,

I am using utorrent 3.3.2.

When downloading with download speeds more than 300-400 kb/sec I am experiencing stutters in the PC. Mouse and keyboard, video display, and games suffer from stutter.

Although the amount of CPU usage by utorrent executable does only go around %1-3, in the windows task manager I can see the total amount of CPU usage makes spikes like %10-15 from %10 to %20-25, this happens about every 7-10 secs and the spikes take a coupe of seconds. Although the CPU usage does not come near %100 during the spikes the computer is unusable. Videos jerks, sound stutter etc.

If anyone has any idea i would be grateful.

One thing, if I close utorrent of course it is fixed instantly. But when I run utorrent back it doesnt appear instantly. It takes sometime for the stutter to appear.

What build?

And watch this thread as the two issues may be related.

3.3.2 (build 30303) 32bit

But this problem is not new. I experienced this for a couple of months now with earlier versions too.

Are you watching in task manager or

Are you using Resource Monitor and isolating uTorrent process so you see what else is happening.

I used task manager only. Not resource monitor

So it may not be uTorrent directly then, but something that uTorrent is being the catalyst for.
