Small help with vista

psychas · 2 May 2008 at 13:39

Well installed vista ultimate 64 bit yesterday everything works fine i think but i feel a bit of noobish on it.

So in first screenshot i want to ask you what is cpu level up help ? and asus ancpi center well asus something whit motherboard and what the hell is the cpu thing. they always there when i boot the pc do i need them and if not how i get rid of them.

in second part i see that vista is almost never idle at 0 % is nad uses 1.25gb memory is it normal?

in second screen shot u can see that my cpu is overclocked but why vista tells me it at 2.44ghz ? is this normal ?

And most important think how i get rid of those pop ups about User Account Center it always pops up and asks allow or cancel.

Thank you for all help

Ok, the applications running most likely got installed when you installed all the junk that comes on the motherboard CD. You don't need it, its probably not even useful, but its certainly not part of a base Vista install.

Secondly, the way Vista manages its RAM is different to XP, the usage will always appear quite high, but Vista will sacrafice RAM that is "in use" if other applications need it/request it.

Thirdly, your CPU level isn't high, its at 2%, pretty good for an idle CPU load. The small spikes are most likely the indexing service, especially seeing as your build is new, the indexing service will be doing a lot at present to index the drive.

As for your overclocked CPU speeds, they will fluctuate most likely due to you having EIST and C1E enabled in your BIOS (speedstep functions of the processor).

No, even a 2 second GOOGLE shows that CPU Level Up Help is an ASUS application.

If you want help, why dismiss it?

TweakUAC if you want to get rid of the popups, but not disable the security: http://www.tweak-uac.com/download/ (set UAC to silent mode)

Disable UAC if you want to get rid of the popups and the security: Control Panel > Search 'user' > Go into 'User Accounts' > 'Turn user account control on or off' > Untick 'Use user account control (UAC) to help protect your computer'

I have the same mobo as you psychas and the cpu level up is on mine (came on supplied mobo driver disc). It's basically there so that if you run some processor intensive applications it will oc your cpu for you then drop it back down when it's finished.
