Have Dell Dimension 4600 /XP SP-2
Basic: CPU usage peaked at 100%, crashing XP after a program I was using
crashed.
I was running a program called Psycle1.8 (open-source music creation
software) Crashes are common with certain actions preformed by Psycle.
Often crashes are caused by using software with this host program that is
supported but not fully compatible or hog RAM. Usually when Psycle crashes,
closing out the program and restarting it will correct the problem. *
The last time I used Psycle, the program crashed, then the entire system
crashed (aka CPU usage spiked to 100% for several minutes before it dropped
low enough so I could tell the computer to restart.)
*I have heard of "memory leakage" – I suspect may be a factor with Psycle,
and maybe the cause of the system crash. If this is the case, what can be
done?
Contact the program vendor for help.
