    AMD Dual Core Core # 2 Maxing out at 100%

    Windows Vistaâ„¢ Ultimate 32BIT
    Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
    System Manufacturer HP Pavilion 061
    System Model EG194AA-ABA A1250N
    System Type X86-based PC
    Processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+, 2200 Mhz, 2 Cores, 2 Logical
    Processors
    BIOS Phoenix Technologies, LTD 3.47, 3/3/2006
    SMBIOS Version 2.4
    Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000 "
    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 3.00 GB DDR 400mhz PC3200 (2 ~ 1GB sticks &
    2 ~ 512k sticks)
    Total Physical Memory 3.00 GB
    Available Physical Memory 1.98 GB
    Total Virtual Memory 8.94 GB
    Available Virtual Memory 7.80 GB
    Page File Space 6.00 GB
    Monitors: Acer X221W and HP vs17
    Acer X221W
    Adapter driver: 8.493.0.0 5/12/2008
    Monitor driver: 1.0.0 3/27/2007
    HP vs17
    Adapter driver: 8.493.0.0 5/12/2008
    Monitor driver: 6.0.6001.18000 6/21/2006
    Graphics Card: Diamond Radeon HD 3650 1GB/GO DDR2
    Power Supply: 300W

    After installing my new ATI 3650 card my core 2 processor is continuosly
    ranging between 90 and 100%, while core 1 is running normally between 0 and
    10%, yet my memory usage is only ~35%. Additionally, the system is running at
    ~58 degrees F.

    I checked my other drives and partitions where I'm running Win XP media
    center edition and Win XP Pro and both cores are running normally with both
    OSs. I also switched processors, 3800+ and 4200+ (939), and the problem is
    exactly the same with each. Also, I've un-installed / re-installed drivers
    and CCC, and completed a full memory test with and without the HD 3650 card
    installed, no errors.

    I've attempted to gather the latest drivers, bios, and everything else I can
    think of, yet nothing has altered this strange behavior. I really don't know
    if this is a Video Card problem or a Vista problem but I suspect a Vista SP1
    problem since everything is normal when using XP. Any help resolving this
    problem will be greatly appreciated.

    You'll have much better luck getting useful answers in a Windows Vista
    group. This group covers C++ .NET programming.

    As you appear to be using a web interface, start here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

    Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In the
    Windows Vista category,
    open the Windows Vista category, then find a group there for your
    question.
