Hi all,
Currently my eee box idles with the CPU usage (from windows task manager) at about 50%.
I recently upgraded the memory to 2gb. Though I can't remember if I noticed the increase in CPU usage after the memory upgrade.
I was just wondering if others could post the idle cpu ussage of their eee-box's so I know if something is wrong with my eee-box.
Thanks

What antivirus software is using? Normally, if no application is running, CPU should be 95% idled.

To verify this, you may disable it and see what happen.

ran the computer in safe mode. no virus protector. only 12 processes running. same issue. i'm thinking this must be a hardware issue, if so its under warranty. i'm hoping not to have to re-install windows just to show its not software related. if it is falty hardware, two problems on a six month old machine is quite annoying.

See whether this is the same reason on yours:

I have a new installation of windows 7 and found it happen on mine. After 10 minutes of waiting for the completion. The machine is finally calm down.
