Hardware interrupts high cpu usage windows xp

As I was getting my software out, Said what would happen if I just took out the controllers and let them come back in. That's what reloading windows would do. Uninstalled every one that was there. Didn't Reboot until the last one was ready for uninstall. I Must Say It was worth the try since I was getting ready to reload Windows, anyway! Add This to the Fix List!

Well, what is using so much CPU? In the process explorer i downloaded, it shows that the hardware interrupts process is using the cpu so much. But i have no idea why and how to fix it. Try a different mouse and keyboard. You may have a sticking key or some such. Well, i already did that. I had it hooked up to my keyboard, mouse and monitor when i installed windows and the cpu usage was high. Right now, its hooked up to a completely different keyboard, mouse and monitor but the cpu usage hasnt changed.

I also just tried installing xp sp3 which didnt work either. Maybe theres something wrong with some hardware inside the computer? It didnt work either unfortunately. I was thinking, i know that the nfore3 chipset is apparently quite buggy.

This is what my friend has. Maybe is has something to do with the chipset? My experience with the nForce 3 set has been a long and quite happy one that is still ongoing. I dual boot it with XPand Ubuntu and all is right with the world. Have you tried turning it off and then on again? Yes, that old chestnut again. Because it often works. Try it again and it might go right. Since the high CPU system interrupt issue is almost always hardware related, try updating the drivers.

This deep sleep state can sometimes cause problems for hardware. The reasons behind that are complex and beyond this article. Yes, Magic Packet is real. Also, if you are using IDE mode for a Sata drive then it will gradually slow down the system. So, you can try to change that if you have not done that already. When you go into the Device Manager then are you seeing any problems like any yellow exclamation marks or something.

Also, check to see if there are any newer drivers for the NIC that you have installed.
