CPU loads up to 68-98%

Asked by Alex Kunitsa

I use notebook asus u5f (core duo 1.8, 2.5 gb ram, intel gma 950) and ubuntu 8.10 (alpha 5). The load of CPU is about 68-98%. What can be the matter of this? In 8.04.1 CPU loading is about 1-3%.

In System Monitor there is nothing that load cpu, just "gnome-system-monitore" (7%). There's also one - "trackerd" (cpu - 0%, nice - 19), but if I kill it, nothing changes. Also I noticed that if I don't touch mouse and touchpad the load of cpu is about 30% and if I move the mouse, cpu load is 60% and higher (till 98%)

I've seen something similar to that when using free graphics drivers on an ATI card--I think the graphics drivers are trying to use the CPU to do what the graphics processor should be doing. If you're using an ATI or NVidia card, check that the proprietary graphics drivers are enabled (if you're OK with that), or try turning desktop effects off.

Can you help with this problem?
