EliteKiller Posted September 29, 2008 I noticed my workstation was acting weird this evening and here's the culprit. PC is idle with zero programs opened in the foreground. Win XP Pro SP3 GeForce 8800GT 169.44 drivers Avira Premium 8.1.0.367 SAS Pro 4.21.1004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjamme Posted September 30, 2008 We have a possible lead on the situation, we are looking into it now. I hate to bust your bubble. But I am using the free version of SAS on XP pro SP3 at home and at work testing it out. At work I have an ATI Radeon X300 with the latest ATI drivers (8/20/08). No activity in Task manager at all with Trend Micro Enterprise and Windows Firewall. At home I have a Sapphire using same driver. NOD32 and Commodo Firewall. I am constantly closing SAS as it gets to 100% CPU. Came here looking for answers as I like the program. As an afterthought, At work I have DSL 100% online at home I use Dialup seldom online, is SAS trying to access the Internet? I also have 2GB RAM at work and 1GB at home, but I don't see how that would affect CPU activity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hch Posted October 28, 2008 Is this problem solved, because I have I problem that look like this one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjamme Posted October 28, 2008 HCH, We are all waiting patiently. 9/4/08 is the latest release so I would expect something with a late October or November release date. I for one cannot use it until its fixed as it goes 100% of the CPU at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littlemutt Posted November 6, 2008 Well, sad to report, using the latest 'pre-build', that at least on my system, while the CPU spikes are lower than before, they are Still present at a 1 sec rate spiking to 17%. Vista HP SP1 Nvidia video card 7300GT 512meg latest drivers AMD 1.4ghz Thunderbird CPU 1gig RAM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERAntiSpy Posted November 6, 2008 I've updated the drivers on the Pentium IV to 175.19, so both PCs are now on the latest, but I still get the problem. Any more suggestions, please?Surely I can't be the only person with Nvidia drivers and this problem. Try our new pre-release 4.22, it should resolve the problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjamme Posted November 6, 2008 Where can we find prerelease 4.22? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Turner Posted November 6, 2008 4.22 looks promising. Processor usage looks to be more or less the same, whether or not Real Time Protection is enabled. SAS still uses a little processor from time to time, but nothing like as much as it did before, and no more than I would expect. I will have to leave it running for a time to be certain. Thank you very much. Mike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My CPU usage is WAY down (0-1%) and the memory being used is miniscule (as opposed to gradually creeping to mind numbing levels BEFORE this beta). It got so bad that I stopped using SAS except as a demand scanner. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwind Posted November 7, 2008 Although my spikes were not as high as others have reported (mine crept up to 17 - 25% after the computer had been in use for around 6 hours) Since using the 4.22 pre-release i am pleased to report that i am also no longer having any problem and the cpu usage (if you can call it that as it is so low)is still the same as when i booted up 9 hours ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vijayn Posted November 8, 2008 Is the fix only for latest Nvidia Driver users ?? I am using DELL and hence I am stuck with whatever drivers they release only So I am still running Nividia Forceware 175.97 .... Hope thats not a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERAntiSpy Posted November 8, 2008 The issue actually has nothing to do with NVidia drivers - it just showed the issue as they are on lots of systems. If you had CPU issues with SUPERAntiSpyware, download the pre-release and give it a try! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vijayn Posted November 8, 2008 Ok, I think the issue is gone now. Have been running SAS Pro for about 20 mins, doing common tasks. CPU usage : 2-8% Mem.Usage: less than 1MB. Great work, SAS team I will continue running the pre-release, hopefully no issues will arise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
