So while I'm browsing the net in Firefox, it will on occasion suddenly decide to use 50% of my CPU and become inoperable. Firefox accepts no more input, and so I have to kill the process. This is all fine and good, except the next program I move into (whether it's already open when Firefox dies or not) does the same thing. This continues even when I close all active programs and will then often move to explorer.exe. I honestly have no idea what to do here. When this happens I have no choice but to restart, which only clears the problem temporarily. I've already run the spyware scans and virus scans recommended and followed all of their instructions...so I'm kinda out of ideas. I'd say this is just a Firefox issue, but the CPU Usage program jumping occurs with other programs as well, such as Magic Workstation's Play module, which is a program for playing a card game online. So I don't think it's "Oh, you screwed up with Firefox, try again."

EDIT: Alright, it just happened as I was browsing in Internet Explorer on a page that has issues in Firefox. The odd thing is that it didn't suck up 50% CPU in IE. Setpoint.exe, my mouse's program, started using 50% this time.

I tried to follow your instructions, but was prevented from uninstalling J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2 and Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05. 2 got a fatal error during uninstallation, and 5 gets a "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid." As for whether it helped, I'm not certain. I tried Magic Workstation and it still crashed, but it did not crash the system. After I post this, I'll try to duplicate what I was doing when Firefox crashed the system and will post the results of that.

Alright, Firefox crashed the system when I was at this page: http://gatherer.wiza...ftid=10_22_2006

It didn't crash right away, it took a couple of clicks on the "Show pick" button and the "Next" button for it to occur. As I think about it, I believe the crashes have all occurred on pages with the box you can check...I don't know what they're called, but the box next to "Show Pick" on that page.

Additionally, yes, I am on the UCI Network, and my IP Address is correct for that network, according to that page.

I managed to save a HijackThis log during the crash, before I closed Firefox and allowed the CPU Usage to hop into another program. I'm not sure this will help, but I figured it was worth a shot. This is with the CPU Usage still in Firefox.

Are you referring to the drop down boxes on the site you mentioned?

Those are made with JavaScript.
Maybe it will help if you install the latest version 07

I actually meant the boxes you check and uncheck, although I anticipate that they're probably both made by Java. I'll install that version and get back to you.

According to the Java site, the most recent version is Update 6, which I already have installed. I tried performing an installation anyway, to see if it would update it, and it just told me that I already have this version of Java installed. So no luck there for the moment.

Sorry about the multiple replies, but there's more relevant information.

I updated to Firefox 2 and looked at the Draft Viewer that I linked to previously. Again, Firefox began using 50% CPU after a few pages. I killed Firefox in the Task Manager, and tested around other programs. The 50% CPU Usage would not hop into AOL Instant Messenger, WinAmp, or iTunes. It did, however, go into Outlook Express when I clicked into its window. I then killed Outlook Express in Task Manager and clicked into my start menu, which usually causes Explorer to start using 50% CPU at this point. However, it did not begin using 50% CPU this time. Explorer behaved normally, and I was able to restart my other programs and continue using the computer normally.

I have no idea what's going on.

Me neither, but we are going to find out. :whistling:

Can you surf to:
http://www.sysintern...ssExplorer.html
and install Process Explorer.

When you are done open the program and click Options > and put a checkmark before Replace Taskmanager

Now when you hit CTRL_ALT_DEL Process Explorer will open.

The next time FireFox acts up do this and select the firefox.exe
Then in Process Explorer click View and put a checkmark in View Lower Pane
Then under View > Lower Pane View > select DLLs
See if you can find any .dll files that do NOT have a version number listed and write down the names.

Let me know the names of those files.

Okay, I triggered the CPU Usage again with the Draft Viewer, and all the .dll files had version numbers. A couple of .nls files did not, and these were ctype, locale, sortkey, sorttbls, and unicode. After I killed Firefox, the CPU Usage then went to Logitech Setpoint, which also had these files. Again, no .dll files with no version number while Setpoint was crashing. That was the extent of the crash, and the CPU Usage disappeared after killing Setpoint.

Thanks for all your help so far. :whistling:

Can you try again.

This time select the Logitech Setpoint just before you crash FireFox.
See if you notice any changes when or before it starts to spike.
Maybe you can spot if something gets transferred.

That's a tad difficult to do. Okay, so here's what I did this time.

Open Process Explorer, Always on Top
Open the Draft Viewer page in Firefox
Select Setpoint.exe in Process Explorer
Check/Uncheck the box to cause the crash
Firefox displays in Process Explorer as using 50% CPU
Process Explorer becomes unresponsive, crashes
Close Process Explorer
Reopen Process Explorer, kill Firefox
No unusual CPU Usage
Click into Outlook Express window now visible since Firefox has closed
Outlook Express begins using 50% CPU
Process Explorer crashes
Computer hangs, becomes unresponsive to any input except for mouse movement
Hard shutdown

I didn't notice anything happen in Setpoint.exe, but I can't be sure. Every time the CPU Usage occurs in Firefox, Process Explorer becomes unresponsive almost immediately.

I have asked the other staff members to have a look at this.

Just so you know I haven't given up, but it could be a while.

A good idea from one of the helpers.

Click Start > Run and copy this command into the window:
sfc /scannow
Click OK to execute the command.

Windows will start looking if all the necessary files are present and in the correct version.
More detailed explanation: http://www.updatexp....cannow-sfc.html
