Subject: Need help with Ntoskrnl thread causing high CPU
Posted: 12 October 2014 at 3:55pm
I've noticed the "System" process in Task Manager is constantly updating between 1 and 2 percent of CPU usage (I'm using Windows 8.1). Is this normal? When I right click on the System process and open file location it points to ntoskrnl.exe.
I'm having some stuttering when playing video on an external monitor, which never happened before. My CPU is an AMD FX-8350 @ 4 gHz with 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 660, so it should be smooth.
Here is my ETL log from WPT. If anyone wants to take a look at it, I'd appreciate it.
