High CPU Load xorg

Post by datroubler »

Hi, I am running Linux Mint 16 on this Intel Board:
Intel D2500HN
The CPU usage from xorg became very high (see attachement) this wasn't the case before. This leads to a crash of the whole computer after ~30 minutes.

I guess you would like to know which drivers I am using but I just see this:

I really hope you can help me.

I would like to point out to you that Mint 16 is obsolete and therefore no longer supported and maintained. I recommend you to either upgrade to Mint 17 or downgrade to Mint 13, both versions are LTS versions: LTS = Long Term Support:
  • Linux Mint 17: Supported up and till April 2019
  • Linux Mint 13: Supported up and till April 2017
You can read more about updating/upgrading your current Mint version here: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=173378.

The problem what you're facing now may be due to the fact that your Mint version is no longer being updated, including thirth-party packages. This means that you could have outdated xorg packages which could cause your problem. Updating to Mint 17 could solve this issue.

And also next time, please comply to the forum rules and especially rule #5: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=83444.
