Windows switching to Basic theme?
Hi,
I have been using windows 7 for a few months now and it's been great without too many hassles.
Tonight I was on the internet and Windows switched the theme to Basic without me doing anything, I checked my cpu usage which was at 2-20%
and my RAM @ 1.30 GB which is all fairly normal.
I had two firefox windows open (10 tabs), Photoshop CS4, VLC and a couple of folders.
The only thing I could see which was unusual was that my GPU temps where around 59-62c (same temps I get while gaming)
Five minutes later it returned to Windows Aero and my GPU temps dropped.
Could this be something in the background updating itself? I have Windows update set to manual. Any need for concern?
I realize Windows will do this due to certain programs not being compatible, this was not the case and my system was not even close to running out of memory.
Any thoughts would be great, thanks.
