[computer-tech-support: 8393] Re: CPU usage always at 100% on AMD Athlon X2

I saw a similar situation recently on a laptop. It was only happening when the user was using AC power. Turns out the power supply was underpowered for the laptop.
You do not mention if your system is a laptop or desktop.

I'm using an AMD Athlon X2 CPU with 4GB of RAM, yet sometimes my CPU
usage goes to 100%.

I previously had no issues for the past year. I thought it was an
SVCHost.exe process that was causing the issue, but I had tried to
apply a patch to fix that and still seem to sporadically have issues.

Anyone know what I could try? Any system monitors or tools I could
use?

I am fairly proficient with computers, so feel free to use technical
terminology.
