Ok, I'm not so sure if this is a Windows 7 related issue, but thought I'd post to see what people think anyway. Couldn't find any good answers out there anyway.
My CPU now sits around 50-53 degrees Celcius on startup. Heck I caught it at 70C so I dusted it like mad. Last time I checked which...

Hi,
I have a wierd problem with my Windows 7 laptop x64 RTM.
After I switch from using my wired network connection to wireless or vice versa, the Internet connection is dropped after around 15 minutes (time varies) of usage eventhough I can still access resources on the local network, but...
Anyone know of a good source for dual walls? I like abstract myself but I haven't seen any new walls in a long time. And no Satrdock doesn't have a dual wall section much to my dismay. My res is 2560x1024. Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope.
Windows 7 is coming, thus, we can find the information about Win 7 is full of the Web these days. And the most popular question I heard are: is Windows 7 safe? Is it stable and fast?
However, as most media says, Windows 7 is much better than Windows Vista, windows 7 runs much faster than...

since it was closed I couldn't comment. Why not just do it right to begin with and get NOD32. There is no better antivirus out there that uses less resources than that one. yes, it's English, but we can forgive them for their birthplace. :p
Hello, I hope you are doing well.
Whenever I check my Windows Task Manager's Processes tab, it looks like svchost.exe and MsMpEng.exe are hogging my system's resources. On average, each of those programs are using approximately 50k to 60k of memory.
I know that they are both Windows-related...
Hi guys,
I have no idea how to measure how much resources does win7 built in firewall consume.
On my PC I use comodo (it takes less than 2MB of RAM) - note that I use it without the defence+ module (it's annoying and I'm an experienced pc user so UAC is enough).
The thing is that I've...
Hi All,
Running the Windows 7 Ultimate now and only one issue to do with my graphics card. I've seen similar posts here but no resolution yet. Here's my setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) running on a Shuttle ST20G5. I've flashed to the latest BIOS (but that was released in 2006!)

I've been using the RC for several weeks now and have not had any issues with it... I believe that Vista was the real beta... and now maybe Microsoft has come up an equal to XP.
My question is how do I tell which fonts are needed by the system & software? I have 423 fonts...
After leaving the PC idle for a few hours, the CPU usage increases to 20%. This is a very large increase from the CPU usage after starting up (and a few hour later while using the PC) were the usage is approximately 3%.

Just like the title says. I installed Itunes today and NOT ONLY watched both cores go to 90 percent and vary sporadically between 25 and 50 - but then I checked task manager. There is a little asterisk (*32) next to Itunes.exe. What gives, apple?
Hi All, I am wondering if it is possible to assign system resources to a specific task. The example that spawned this is that I am trying to extract a very large compressed file which is taking quite a while, and I'm not even touching my available system power (my rig has an i7 920, 12 gb of...
I'm getting this message for my second video card. I'm using 2 8600gt video cards, they're not hooked in Sli. They worked fine on XP. I'm not sure what to do.
Hey,
I am currently using windows 7 RC 7000 and have been having problems with flash since day one. Whenever flash runs anything it can't get enough resources to support itself. Games/video lag and sputter (and dont even ask me about full screen video). Has anyone else experienced this...
