If there's one thing we geeks love to do (apart from reading Playboy in HEX), that is monitor PC resources. Windows 7 integrates several tools to do it - and good - but why not try a more "universal" that allows us to discover the applications that consume more CPU and RAM on Windows independent version of the system?
With the free program Process Monitor Microsoft (Sys internals), which does not require installation to operate and is very easy to use, you can monitor the status of the PC and sgam resource-sucking process in the blink of an eye. If you do not trust what we're saying, here is a detailed guide on how to do.
- Connect to Process Monitor website and click on the item Download Process Monitor to download the program on your computer;
- Open the zip file and downloaded, extract its contents to any folder and start the application Procmon.exe (With administrator privileges on Windows 7 and Vista);
- Go to menu File and uncheck the item Capture events You can pause the monitoring process by Process Monitor;
- Click on the button Clear toolbar (the sheet with the eraser) to erase all information previously recorded by Process Monitor;
- Go to menu Options> Events Profiling, Put the check on the items Generate thread profiling events and Every 100 milliseconds, And click OK to configure the program so that it captures the execution of each process in the log;
- Go to menu File and put the tick on the item Capture events to restart the monitoring process by Process Monitor;
- At the end of follow-up, ie after using the programs referred to means test the appetite for resources, back in the main Process Monitor, go to the menu File and uncheck the item Capture events to stop the monitoring process;
- Go to menu Tools> Process Activity Summary to view the list of registered processes by Process Monitor on CPU and RAM consumption.
That's it. To sort the processes according to the consumption of CPU and RAM (from highest to lowest), just click on the items CPU and Working Set Peak so that the top of the columns there is an arrow pointing down.
So, you're already thinking about how to replace your applications-leeches?
