Use Help for
DMA
or for
Paging
Paging is also known as virtual memory.
SvcHost is the host task for your system services most of which never run
after first being started unless they are needed.

SURPRISE My cpu usage is down to zero and I don't know why. Here is a
clue. I caled the tech line where I bought this pc and he wanted to
check the memory. I did not have time and told him I would call back
later. Before I caled him I shut down the system and removed the back so
I would have access to the motherboard. I called and the line was busy
so I turned the PC back on and CPU usage was zero. What does that tel
you. Is there a hardware problem waiting to happen again?

Hi Fello Forum Members,
As previously listed I have the same problem. I have just concluded a call
with MS tech support here in Oz and found that the Computer Associates CA
AntiVirus software I am running may well have been the culprit. Apharently
an update to that software clashes with an update from MS. The tech support
people have "snoozed" CA to determin if this is the real problem.
Will let you know how I go over the next day or so if you want.
Good luck with your problems
Regards
RF

SMBerger,
I'm not sure why it would suddenly go back to normal for no apparent
reason, but I'm glad that it is working normally for you now. To be
safe, I would keep good backups just in case.

Just simply switch off the Superfetch function, this function is not
suitable for old computer.
