Try top and see what is the process that eats up all the CPU. Naturally you should not see CPU working a lot, unless you are, for example, starting Netscape. For example, on my computer CPU load is 5-8% at most, when I'm not doing any compilations/etc. If a process eats up 95% of CPU it means it's crashed. Some processes just don't die quietly when they crash, but go into loop instead, therefor eating all the CPU. What are consequences of that? Anyone? I'd figure heat that builds up will eventually become a problem overheating your CPU, which will result in errors and crashes. So 'top' and see whats causing the problem. THen kill the process, if needed. Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrei S.
