Try antiX-19.2_386-full version

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

386 full would be best https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix-linux/files/Final/antiX-19/antiX-19.2_386-full.iso/download

Hi.

What version did you install?
Did you check MD5 sum to knwo if the iso had downloaded correctly?
Did you install Grub at the end of installation process?

Meanwhile, you could try
fsck /dev/sda2

A swap partition might help

what’s using the cpu? try this from console :
ps -eo pid,cmd,stat,%mem,%cpu –sort=-%cpu | head

if you see a “D” in processes status, then i suppose something’s wrong with the disk.. could be bad sectors…(?)

Also, did you make sure that the download is not corrupt by checking the md5sum ?

You could try launching htop in terminal and see what process causes the CPU to run at 100%

I tried searching the forum for a similar problem, and I found:

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/lag-cpu-100-hp-nx7300/
The user’s power supply was giving problems. Using another power supply fixed the issue.

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/antix-17-4-now-out/#post-19258
The user changed their kernel to fix the 100% CPU problem.

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/conky-indicates-cpu-running-continuously-at-100/
conky shows 100% in CPU. The user never reported how to solve the problem (if they ever got it to work).

What does htop tell you about your CPU usage when it reaches 100%?
