mick2me 3,033 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 There are number of factors effecting CPU, Busy Site, And Background processes. I can cut some of them down but have no control over other. This is time consuming. And I have Zero time until 24/6/16. One job is tuning Robot.txt which limits Robots crawling, that is the ones that will obey the robots rules You can find out more by Googling High CPU Usage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Did you ever see 2001 A space Odyssey. Margie? Dave (The hero of course) Went and pulled the computer's memory boards when it got nasty. All it could do after that was sing A bicycle Built for Two. That fixed the blighter. Not sure thats the solution here though. LOL. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hang in there Mick. Its not your fault. We know you are doing what you can. The odd glitch can't spoil the overall quality of the site. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 We also receive hundreds of attempt registrations by spambots every month. These are blocked and forwarded to Project Hunnypot. This is also Resource intensive. I could switch it off. That would be fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 You are doing your best Mick, and all the team!..little gremlin in the system won't ruin our fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm afraid it does ruin our fun when it keeps shutting down about five times a day! But, I keep persevering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 If you keep this thread updated and quote the exact error you get and time GMT, I can check back on the logs. Thanks. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'll stick to going through Google rather than Yahoo, as I always get a proper error message with Google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I haven't had a problem since 25th of April when I made my last post on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 At least one other member who lives quite close also suffere from shutdown at the same time as I do. Yet someone from the other side of the world is trouble free. Mystifying! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,470 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 The only problem I get is the occasional appearance of this error message. I hadn't seen it for a few days but it just happened again now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 That doesn't mean much to most of us, mick2me, but your avatar does. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 When I stated in my last post that the info didn't mean much it was because I don't understand that kind of thing. When I read my post again it looked as though I was being derogatory to mick2me which is something I'd never do. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Its over my head too Michael. I just expect to switch on my iPad and everything work perfectly. Unfortunately we haven't reached that stage yet. And yes, thanks from me too Mick. You do a fantastic job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 We knew that, Michael you are not a derogatory sort of guy. I didn't see your comment that way. Cliff. Thats the error message I see too when it comes up. It hasn't been around the last couple of days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 What isp are those who are having problems on? Lately I've had intermittent problems with a number of sites. I'm on Virgin and I don't have the same problems if I use my laptop elsewhere. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 The short CPU Usage spike at 100% does not match the outages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
