You're welcome afremont, I'm glad you fixed it with Cluberti pointing you to drivers.

How about you, Lusankya, since you started the thread?

Hello, I know this thread is a little old, but I found it in search for a fix for the same exact problem that I'm currently having. Could you let me know what exactly you did?

Thanks

Hi Syxx676, read the whole thread to see what was done. One person updated his drivers to fix it. Others never got back to us.
It would be fine to start your own thread too with your specifics and please fill in your system specs, thanks.

Thank you, done... and yea I'm not too positive on what he ended up doing exactly.

It's been a while, but I believe it was one of the motherboard drivers. After updating them all with newer versions from the manufacturer's (Asus) site, it was fixed. I didn't test after updating each one, so I don't know which one was the problem. I'd start with the network and USB drivers.

This forum is a little old, but not for the same problem I was having. It's took me a few days to narrow down this "Interrupts" processes issue. So I going to explain what fix it for me, in hopes that it might help other who may be having the same problem too. I realized if I enabled hibernate, then my core thread 6 stopped racing like a horse, when I would wake my computer up from sleep mode. I don't use the hibernate mode, just the sleep mode. I wouldn't mind leaving hibernate enbled, but that uses up 10 GB of hard drive space. The solution was to turn my Paging Files back on and to disable hibernate. Right now it is all working now, with using no less than 18Mb for paging. At 16Mb I start having problems with core thread #6 racing again when I wake my comuter up from sleep mode.
