nVidia Drivers and CPU Utilization
ASUS A7N8X-E
Barton Mobile XP2600 at 2200MHz Kingmax MPXC22D PC-3200 2x512 MB WinXP SP1 Hi Folks, I started putting together the above system, and after installing the nVidia nForce drivers from the CD, PERFMON showed an erratic CPU utilization of about 2% to 5%, for about 5 seconds every about 12 seconds. Before installing the driver, it was a steady 0%. I'd like to know if this is normal for the above MOBO and drivers, or if there is something wrong somewhere. If you never looked at this, click start, run, enter 'perfmon', and you'll see a pretty graph showing CPU, Memory, and HDD utilization. The green line is the CPU. I'd very much appreciate knowing what you find out. Oh yes, all aplications should be turned off when you check this. I also see occasional spikes of memory usage, going from 20% to 100%. They tend to be more pronounced right after rebooting, and settle down and gradually stop after maybe 15 minutes. Do you know if any of the above is something I should try to do something about? Or is it normal and can I just forget about it? Thank you for any and all input! |

I have the Same MB, with 2x PC2700 Corsair sticks, XP2000 and W2K I get a spike every 10secs approx of between 0.4 and 1.4%. I have been running this MB for many months without a problem so would tend to say that you should just forget about it :-) Andy |
