Solidworks 2007 cpu usage
(OP)
Hi
i use Solidworks 2007 at my office,but sometimes the CPU usage level jumps to 100% on one of the cores and remains 100% for some time (I'm using Dual core 3.4GHz). any one having the same problem?

What are you doing when you see your usage jump?

RE: Solidworks 2007 cpu usage
I have been battling this for weeks now. We switched to quad core cpu's and the new Nvidia Quadro 4600. Under normal operation I can be doing something as simple as spinning a part around for a better view. When out of nowhere the the cpu jumps to 25% (maxed out one core?) and I can do nothing with SW for 15-30 seconds. This happens every few minutes. I can get rid of the problem when in Software OpenGL mode, so I suspect the video driver, the Quadro 4600 is under it's first and only driver, so I'm sure it is nowhere near SW cert.
What is mind boggling is we have 6 identical machines and mine is the only one with this problem.

Welcome back hardware acceleration and realview, goodbye extra mouse buttons.
Also I found out it's nearly impossible to submit a bug fix request to microsoft.

RE: Solidworks 2007 cpu usage
In WinXP, I discovered that there is a documented bug (well, there's a bunch of 'em). An internal program 'svchost.exe' used to load & execute .dll executables went beserk and maxed out the CPU. PC locked up completely. On another PC I Googled for the answer and found out how to attack the problem. I finally figured out that during boot I could start Task Manager and watch the multiple 'svchost.exe' processes running. When one of them would start to spiral out of control (CPU usage => 100%), I'd kill that process. That allowed me to get the Microsoft Hotfix update.

I was having the same problems with my setup. I'm running winxp pro sp2.0 and SW 2006 Sp5.0. I disabled Ipoint.exe and all is fine. I had the same black and white frozen screen as was reported beforehand.

What are you system and network specs?
What other programs/processes are running?
You should probably start a new thread with the responses.
