something is consuming my memory

After the last update (yesterday night) I'm experiencing this problem
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=226993

Now, I've also something similar
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=230514
I can't use openoffice or any other "heavy" software because my cpu is always 100% busy

but I can't understand which is the process eating so much cpu: the gnome system-monitor show CPU at 100%, but in the tab "processes" no process at more than 1%;
ps aux shows crond at 41% and the same system-monitor at 12.4.

And now? Thanks

Is your disk in use? Some CPU monitors include I/O wait, meaning as long as your hard drive is busy your CPU shows 100% utilization.

Try

su
top

and see what is using the CPU

[enrico_m]

using top:
crond is using an average of 90% of cpu (something between 85% and 95%)

perhaps also my date has been resetted to 1904

No, the disk is not in use
