JonMS Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I did some googling and didnt find much that pertained with my set up cpu usage is always 100% even when not doing anything at all, wondering if anything can be done about it. Running 10.5.4 stock kernel proc is Intel 2160 @1.8Ghz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114516-cpu-usage-100/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firechild Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I had the same problem on a Macbook. It was an incompatible USB numerical keyboard which caused the problem, when disconnected the CPU went back to normal, and also it was not a graphical thing, the CPU was actually working as fast as it could making the computer very sluggish. SO, check your USB stuff. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114516-cpu-usage-100/#findComment-810924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
