That doesn't explain why the usage goes up so much...

How do you flash the cards? I usually just use Riva since I never reboot...

 

[mortimersnerd]

Thanks. I think I will do that tomorrow.

 

[mortimersnerd]

Yup, I will post results.

Although tomorrow I think I'm going to have to power down the GX2 rig to do some rendering (as this machine was designed for). I will be back full throttle in a few days.

Hmm, let me try that. I'm using the 182.08 drivers on XP32.

EDIT: I just OCed cards. Its not showing an increase in CPU yet. I ended the process for Riva.

I just sent another WU and started a new one without a problem. Not sure what caused it.

 

[mortimersnerd]

Ah yes, Microsoft bashing

I had to take the rigs off folding for a few days. I'm doing some test rendering on the cards. I need a better CPU though

I think I will pick up a X4.

 

[mortimersnerd]

Okay, so it did it again. Its from the process "Interrupts" with a description "hardware Interrupts". I can only see it under Process explorer, which had me confused before because I couldn't see it in task manager. Its under the sub section of "System Idle Process" in Process Explorer.

Any ideas what is causing this?
