100% CPU usage after every standby- why? Sunday, May 29, 2005 at 8:31 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jay (3 messages posted) Hello. I recently reinstalled my XP-Pro operating system and ever since I have had problems with standby. It will enter standby correctly but when coming out the CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there. I've tried to see what was using up the processor by going to task manager but the computer does not respond to cntr-alt-delete. I can still move the mouse on the screen, but everything is REALLLLLLLLY slow. I can't shut down my system and have to use a hard-shutdown (hold the power button). Has anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix it? Maybe this is related buy hibernate doesn't work either. Even though I enabled it w/ the checkbox, it doesn't appear as an option when I do start->shutdown. I am running a Dell Inspiron 8200 SP2 w/ 768 DDR RAM.
