CPU Usage Rate is high on Host.

Post by deepakjha »

Hi Everyone,

I am using virtual box from past one month.
At very fast time i was using virtual box on Server 2003 host platform and now I am using it on windows 7 platform.
But on windows 7 host platform i am facing with a critical problem I am not sure whether it is a critical or just normal.
My problem is related to my Host CPU usage rate. Whenever I open virtual box on My host machine my CPU usage rate goes very high up-to 100%.. I don't know why its showing that much of CPU usage. I just want to know It is normal or Critical.
I am afraid that may be it can burst my CPU....pls help me friends....is it harm my CPU..or not...

No one can diagnose your problem without information but I can tell you that running anything that keeps the CPU maxed out is not something I would do. You need to find the problem and fix it.

Open task manager, 'Processes' tab, click 'show processes for all users'
See what process is using the cpu.
It might be 'Audiodg.exe'
