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. |

High Hardware Interrupts
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? -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Paul Miller" wrote in message ...
