[Mp4]

Hi all,

i upgraded to this over the weekend atm im re-installing apps etc.


Corsair 2GB DDR3 DHX 1333C9DHX Twin3X
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 2.40GHz Guaranteed to run at 3.30GHZ
Asus Maximus Extreme Intel X38 (Socket 775)

I've gone to restore my backup of my steam games etc ( which is on a USB W&D Freeagent Drive) and noticed that my CPU Usage is 100% over all 4 core(s) is that normal ?

Anyone? am i missing something i should have done?

post the processes your computers running ? Theres clearly something hogging your CPU power, might just be steam playing up.

my processes


just noticed that the bloody boinc manager is still active in the background , thought i closed it ..anything i can disable from the processes etc?

 

[Broken Hope]

You're running Seti of course your running at 100% CPU, it uses idle CPU power, if something else needs it then it will get it.

^ yeah that was mybad , thought i (closed it down) via the boinc manager (installed lastnight so still getting grips with it) grr annoying me already

Does everything seem ship shape though?

 

[Broken Hope]

Seems fine from what I can see.

even if SETI works, i dont think its a good idea to contact any aliens unless we have the means to destroy them...


mabye re-think it

You've got quite a few thing's there you could potentionally get rid of actually...

For instance you have Setiathome running twice...You have minirosetta running twice as well, which is a screensaver thing isn't it?

I'd go through msconfig.exe via run, and have a look at what starts up with the PC, and turn off thing's that are not actually needed. Just don't untick EVERYTHING

If you don't know what something is, look via google. Do you really need stuff like Gnotify etc running

your pc will function m8 , even if you untick everything in the start up folder.....thats what its there for

 

[Delvis]

Well, yes it'll function, but if you don't want your AV starting up, or certain parts of your control panel for your graphics card, then yeah...Untick em all
