System is running @ 100%

[Kroze]

I hit ctrl+alt+del and found that "system idle process" is using 100% of my cpu duty cycle. i can't kill it. does anyone know how?

that is normal

it's a catch-all for all cpu cycles not being spent on any programs.

It's amazing that people can actually type out "System idle process" and not comprehend what it actually means.

You have been hanging around here for 3 years and have not realized what the basic tools tell you.😱

It means your computer is too fast for hwat you use it for. To solve this problem - pack it in a box nicely, and ship it to me. 😀
