| | Higher CPU usage comparing to XP I just installed the latest seven release... I also installed the following softwares: Chrome browser and VLC. I opened a movie with VLC and paused it. Chrome has couple of tabs open, google pages and this message board. While my computer is IDLE, chrome is at constant 1-5%cpu usage. while VLC is at 1-3 cpu usage. Taskbar would go 1-2% CPU. In total I am getting average of: 8% CPU usage while Idle. While writing this message, chrome CPU would go as high as 5-8%. IN XP, while IDLE, it would never go higher than 2%. Usually it would stay at 0 and jump to 1% once in awhile (IN TOTAL). My laptop gets hotter because of constant cpu usage aswell. Is it supposed to be like this? I don't see any reason why Chrome would use so much CPU, or VLC. It's idle!! |

I have a e1405 and yes its cpu does run higher and hotter, but its the nature of the beast It depends on what it does under load. whats the cpu/ram under 100%, how hot does it get under full load for how long. It all in how you use it Ken |
