Re: CPU usage

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Download and install Process Explorer v11.03.

This will give you more detailed picture than the Task Manager and ther by help you to detect which application is causing the problem.

I've noticed mu CPU is hovering around 40% or so all the time. Just started the other day. The only thing I've done to the computer is update the video card drivers (Nvidia). I did however find out that by disconnecting/un-installing my wireless card (PCI) Airlink 101- AWLH4130 my CPU usage will return to normal (0-5) at idle. As soon as I connect to it or install the drivers it hovers right at 40% or so. Any ideas on how to resolve the issue?
