CPU & RAM Usage high when idle?

cloud2828 · Jan 8, 2014

So recently I was wondering why any time I try to play a intensive game it would just turn off my PC, so I opened my ASC and I saw this http://imgur.com/O8Zq7np when idle? This started happening about 2 weeks ago and right now I can't even play Crysis 3 or Batman.

open task manager and see what's using it.

a 780Ti really does not belong in that rig.

This is interesting, there is a bunch of files that are using 200k memory or more, I closed them and nothing happened.

You think the card is the problem?

There's a program called safetynut.exe that I cannot close for some reason? Might this be a virus? Also, when I close some of the files, they reappear?

Check your system temperatures, that may cause why your pc shuts down on heavy tasks. About the CPU and RAM load, if it's not a worm or a virus, it could be system updates. Windows update on going, Antivirus update, or any software updates. It might also be windows maintenance running or an active antivirus system scan.

40 degrees, seems fine to me? Nothing's updating. It's been happening for weeks now.

40 degrees seems ok. Try doing a full system scan with your antivirus. Make sure it's updated.

You have Movies Toolbar installed? uninstall it

It is part of the SafetyNut Movies Toolbar from SafetyNut Inc. I suggest that you uninstall, It is marked as Safe, but most of us techies run from any toolbar that Microsoft did not make; Microsoft did not make this one, so run!! you should be able to uninstall it in Programs and Features.
