High Hardware Interrupts
 
Can someone please help!!!

I am running a Compaq Centrino Duo using the Vista RTM and am having a
problem with one of the CPU's getting tied up dealing with hardware
interrupts.

I have followed the tips in the forums, checked the controllers, disabled
everything I can and still, after an hour or so of switching on, the
interrupts go sky high on one CPU.

Does anyone know of a good way to identify which piece of hardware (or
driver) is causing the problem.

Hi Paul,

How do you know it is a hardware interrupt that is causing the problem?
What, if anything, shows in the event viewer?
Are there any conflicts in Device Manager?
How about in msinfo32/hardware/conflicts?
Is the system BIOS fully updated?
Did you run the upgrade advisor? What were the results?
Have you disabled rom shadowing?
