Explain how the System Monitor can be used to find + misbehaving/resource-hogging processes. (A lot of process use 100% CPU or + similar if they hang, for example.)

+
+ +

A program that is using more than its share of the CPU may slow down the + whole computer. To find which process could be doing this:

+ + + +

Click the Processes tab.

+
+ +

Click the % CPU column header to sort the processes + according to CPU use.

+ +

The arrow in the column header shows the sort direction; click again + to reverse it. The arrow should point up.

+
+
+
+ +

The processes at the top of the list are using the highest percentage CPU. + Once you identify which one might be using more resources than it should, you + can decide whether to close the program itself, or close other programs to + try to reduce the CPU load.

+ + +

A process that has hung or crashed might use 100% CPU. If this happens + you may need to kill the process.
