| | CPU activity at 20% after cloning a new hard drive Last night I used Acronis to clone off a brand new 1Tb drive. All went well and I fired it up this morning. The only thing I noticed is that my CPU activity is at about 20%. Is this normal? I looked at the resources monitor for CPU and it says its doing deferred procedure calls for the 20%. Last time this happened it went away after several hours. |

| | My guess would be it is just Windows doing some housekeeping on the new drive and it is temporary. If it is still doing the same thing a week from now, then I'd look at it more closely. |

| | Well if it doesn't stop by tomorrow, or sooner, then it may be something else. |

| | Oh no! Well its something else. I just found out that my dual core i5 only has one core running at 100% and the other about 1%. What could this mean? I have updated the BIOS and checked the CPU settings. All looks good. I have no idea how to approach this issue. |

| | Tried the drivers in device manager jb? and take a look in msconfig in the boot section mate change it to to two cores if it is one - long shot but worth a try. Take a look with Speccy too it might show up something amiss Speccy - Download |
