Re: High CPU usage in Vista

Hi Gameson,

We seem to have the same problems these days (see lcd issue).
My configuration is almost the same (SG33G5M with E6750, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA and onboard video hdmi-connected).
I also have problems with high cpu-usage at some points when nothing happens.

In your case it looks like the measure tooling is inconsistent.
Taskmanager says 94% idle -> 6% usage and Resource monitor says 42%.
I think taskmanager is right because CPU-Z is reporting just 2002 MHz core speed when 2333 MHz is max for your E6550. So it's in spare-mode.
