7 x86. CPU usage 100% when playing video with old rig
Hi again, well I got new problem when trying seven x86 on an old rig I have. This pc is composed by abit nf7s v2.0 fsb 200, athlon tbred @ 2.0 ghz (200*10), 1gb RAM (1 512 stick burned), seagate sata hdd, nvidia 6800, ...
Well Iīve tried with some players (wmp, bsplayer, wmclassic) with same result, each time I load any divx, xvid, ... my cpu goes up to 100% and stays flying on there when with same hardware on xp doesnīt reach 20% with any file.
All the drivers seems to be properly installed, windows update updated some of them, audio, smbus, sataraid,...
Using 186.18 for 6800, tested 190.38 too, but same result.
I dunno wth can be happening here but is weird cos with xp I can even downclock both cpu and gpu with that 20% usage while playing any film.
Iīve been reading for long, and I think this can be caused for the nvidia drivers, it seems like all the work is done by the cpu while the gpu is smoking a cigarette xD.
This rig is used mainly for divx and surfing attached to my TV, so if I canīt solve this isue I will have to go back to XP.
What would you test guys before throwing the towel and going back to XP?
Thanks in advance. Regards.
