My Computer is running slow due to System Idle Process?

When i open task manager (windows XP) it shows the idle process consumes 98% of my CPU, but that doest seem right.

Windows XP on a HP Dv9000t

SP3

intel duo 2.1GHz(x2)

2GB ram

  • Thats what system idle processes job is, to use spare clock cycles to keep the PC running correctly.

    Thats fine and isnt whats slowing your PC down.

  • That just means that 98% of your CPU is not doing anything. That is a good thing.
