      Hi,

      I'm having an issue on hijgh cpu after 2 weeks off problemless uptime. It seens to fall out of the sky , my internet was realy slow today i'm seeing that the cpu is constant consuming 100%.
      i'v removed all the installed packages but no result, replaced memory (just in case) and no result.

      System activity:
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      last pid: 88215;  load averages:  0.06,  0.18,  0.16  up 0+00:13:58    22:21:17
      109 processes: 3 running, 88 sleeping, 18 waiting

      Mem: 77M Active, 28M Inact, 89M Wired, 184K Cache, 24M Buf, 770M Free
      Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free

      PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C  TIME  WCPU COMMAND
        11 root    171 ki31    0K    32K RUN    1  13:11 100.00% [idle{idle: cpu1}]
        11 root    171 ki31    0K    32K CPU0    0  13:01 97.07% [idle{idle: cpu0}]

      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      Restarted several times but also no result.
      Had a lot of errors on apinger ALARM:WanGW01 (IP) down -> but had stil an internet connection but bad pings.

      Broken NIC ?

        There isn't anything showing high CPU usage there. Those "idle" threads are all the CPU time that isn't consumed, you're almost completely idle on CPU. Load averages show the same, very light CPU utilization.

        The alarms sound like a symptom of the problem in general - your Internet connection having issues of some sort.
