My CPU fan is constantly working extra hard. I observed the CPU usage in System Monitor and if I'm completely idle it's around 0-5% but the moment I start to do something it jumps to the 20-30% range and frequently peaks to higher percentages. My computer information is in the link at my...

After being away from my computer for what seems like 10 minutes or so Aero switches to the basic theme. If i click my mouse it will turn back on automatically. I have all the sleep settings for monitor/harddrive/power turned off in control panel. Any ideas? Also using latest nvidia drivers 185.85

Hi fellow beta testers, I have had an issue with windows 7 seems to affect all versions atleast for me. The issue is that my monitors 90% of the time will not go to power saving mode on their own after the computert has been idle. Occasioanlly the screensaver will not start either, in which...

How can I disable the "locked" screen when I return to my computer (after idling for a while) ? I thought I had downloaded 7100 (and burned it to a disk) but after installing it, it was actually 7077. When I had the 7000 installed I didn't have this problem. I just touch the keyboard and my...

when my computer was idle in 7048 x64 my ram would stay at 15% of 8190mb. Now in 7100 it stays at 25%. Any helpful comments would be great. anyone else noticing this?

I have a dual core t2300 with 2GB of memory. I show my windows 7 when it idles using about 1gb of memory. Would you say this is where it should be high or low. Thanks. Since changing to trend micro my memory usage went way down which I thought was interesting. Seems like windows 7 will need...

I have W7 running on a desktop pc, connected to my network via a usb wireless adapter. The USB port(s) unexpectedly shut down after the pc sits idle for varying periods of time. Since mydigital tablet is connected via a usb adapter, I cannot get the PC started again without a reboot. I think...

Hi. I've looked through the forums to find a similar problem here and on the internet, and I can't find anything. Basically, I have 64 bit windows 7 beta, and it uses over 2gb of RAM consistently. However, rarely sometimes on boot, the OS does something and it idles on 1.14gb consistently (25%...

ive noticed that when i set windows for best appearance it uses 1.04 gb ram at idle but when i set it to best performance it only drops to 1.00gb ram used at idle i thought aero would take up more ram than that. if not then its excellent, i love aero and the fact it doesn't seem to use up a...

One of the many reasons I skipped Vista was because of the constant Disk activity when idle. It appears that the same problem exists with Windows 7. I've tried the usual suspects like turning of indexing etc, but the problem it still exists. I'm 99% sure it's not the hardware, because I can play...

Whenever my status is automatically set to idle after x number of minutes, I get this error "msnmsgr.exe no disc in the drive" with "Continue Retry Abort" and I must click it like 10 times for the message to go away. This happened to my friend also. I seem to recall this bug from along time ago...

I'm having a problem I can't seem to find a solution to. All of the Visual C++ based software that I try and run such as Frets on Fire, Ultrastar or Phun all stutter and chew up 50% of the processor time evn when they are idle. I've tried it on both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions and they both...

I have a 9800 gx2 and noticed that evga precision registers anywhere from 78-80C while idling (balanced performance and aero turned off to make sure that wasn't doing it) and gets up around 90C under load. when I boot xp, it only idles 71-75C. The fan is working properly and set to auto...

What CPU cooler are you using and what are your temps? I'm using a Vigor gaming 92mm Monsoon II and I've been happy with it for over a year but here lately my temps have been above "my" normal. :confused: I've checked my fan speed and all that, so I'm kinda wondering if it might be going bad. I...

Hi im using vista ultimate with a new computer that has 1g 9800GTX 4g RAM and 2.5H/z with an nvidia 750i and I just started it up and in the beginning it would only process 2% cpu max when idle but now since I started playing some games after 3rd day of use the computer when idle reaches 27%...
