Way too many processes running... No Bueno.

[Roley]

I'll let this pic explain itself:

I have 5 images running (after disabling all unneeded programs) yet there are 55 processes running? The only question I have is why?

 

I built this system myself and the specs are as follows:

 

• GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R Mobo
  
• Intel i7-930 Processor @ default clocking
  
• Raid-0 Configuration with 2 1TB Hard drives
  
• 12 GB DDR3 RAM
  

 

Extra info:

 

• V10 Cooler
  
• Nvidia GTX 470
  
• 750 Watt Corsair Power supply
  

 

Good system, poor performance. Blah. I'm way more hardware savvy than software so any help would be appreciated.

Run cmd.exe and type in "tasklist", post a screenshot of it. My suspicion is in the processes that run as services that are listed as well.

So you may have only 5-6 processes running, but you may have lots of services.

 

For instance, my Task Manager shows only 23 processes but under Services... there are multiple listings. I think Task MAnager accounts in the "Processes" field... the sum of both Programs running and Services running

 

Edit: By the way, it is typical to have anywhere between 30-60 processes running

So yeah, the processes are a combined total of images and services. I have a ton of services running as you can see from the pic. but i just dont know which I should and shouldn't disable.

Except for punkbuster ha.

 

 

EDIT: I know but i should have 30 haha.

A small runthrough on the Services themselves.

'Suggested' processes to work with.

 

just access the Services management console to do this: services.mmc
