Hi cljser, welcome to the forums

Your LAN card is causing the problem!

Sorry for the joke, but could you please fill in your system specs (left hand side, "My System Specs"). That way we will be able to provide better suport

Open your task manager by right clicking on the task bar, select Processes tab, click on the CPU heading until it orders the list by highest to lowest, then watch for the Process that is spiking the RAM, right click on that Process to select Go to Service and note the Services which are highlighted. Research these Services (or post back) and it will reveal via the process of elimination which one is the exact problem.

To get a more exact reading with a better GUI, download and run View attachment 33580.

Also check in Device manager if there is any device marked as problematic.
Have you updated the drivers for the LAN card?

 

[cljser]

Hi
Nothing marked as a problem new driver was one of updates I down loaded after installing W7.
Down loaded program sugested got the following readings
System Idle 35-39
ainterupes 3.85-8.5
DPC's 16-31
System 16-38

Just watch the processes and isolate the one which is spiking your CPU


You can also reinstall your LAN card driver by uninstalling (not software) in Device Manager then restarting computer

Did Windows UPdate deliver a new LAN driver (it frequently does)? Check for newer driver in Custom updates and on LAN card's website.

• start task manager
• click on processes tab
• click view menu
  > select "Select Columns"
• check
  - I/O Read Bytes
  - I/O Write Bytes
  - Command line
• Click OK
• Click the Top of the columns "I/O Write Bytes" or "I/O Read Bytes" to sort them for easier reading
• Check to see if a process is going haywire
• If something has transfered alot expan the "Command Line" column and see what is doing it

Did you reinstalled the driver? Else remove it and restart. Maby it wil do the trick

Good luck!

Thanks, man, this is what I've been lookin for. Better than process explorer?

Gigabyte LAN

Are you able to confirm if this is a Gigabyte LAn Card?
If so go to the Assus support site and dowload the specific driver for your card. Assus has started rolling Windows 7 specific drivers and chipset updates.

Adrian

Hi
The lan is on board not a seperate board & Marvell Yukon LAN
I have look there are new updates for my board on site & none listed.Windiows had new driver for it but the problem has been only since loaded windows 7 when it was xp had no problem.if I go onto device manager & disable lan the cpu drops to next to virtualy nothing.

Using the hardware id string(s), google for a newer driver. Doesn't have to come from the manufacturer of your hardware. Could come from anywhere as long as string is same.
