    CPU running at 100% on LG F1


    Hi,
    I have installed Windows 7 on an old LG F1 Express Dual. Now the CPU runs at 100% all the time, which causes the fan to do the same.
    I've tried disabling SpeedStep in the BIOS, but then processor get stuck at 800MHz.
    According to Windows Task Manager CPU usage is around 5% when running only the browser. Process Explorer shows the same info.
    Cant see other processes steal anything either, but processor runs at 1.73 Ghz all the time.

    Found a forum with updates for LG BIOS, thought maybe this could help since it looks like it's SpeedStep making the trouble, but have never tried to update the BIOS before, so it would be nice if anyone had tips for other solution.

    Checked my drivers in Driver Identifier - Free Drivers Download - New Version 3.9 as well now, updated the outdated ones - but still no difference...

    Where is is saying the CPU is running 100% if Task Manager and Process Explorer only show 5%?

    I mean if i sort the processes in Task Manager with the heaviest process at top, i got the Chrome browser on top - but this is only using 5% of the CPU.
    CPU-Z is telling me that my core speed is 1733,3 MHz, which is 100% for my processor.

    I gather what you mean it the CPU runs at full speed, not that it is 100% used. In BIOS set everything to auto, re-enable speed step. It may appear to "stick" at 800MHz but will speed up if the system needs it.

    You are right.
    In BIOS i have set SpeedStep to default, wich is called auto - this is when it locks on 1.73 Ghz. When i had XP installed, SpeedStep adjusted the CPU after system need, but now its just stuck.
    If i dissable it it will lock on 800Mhz

    I have requested help from some overclocking experts.
    In the meantime try finding in BIOS a setting like "Load Optimized Defaults" and test.
