Dear All:

My system has a high CPU utilization. I was running on old version of
XP Pro. I recently performed a bare metal install of Vista x64, and the
system is still running with a high CPU utilization.

I installed the latest Process Explorer (v11.33) and the highest
processes listed by Context Switches, since the last reboot, are as
follows:

Interrupts: 3,295,841,442
System Idle Process: 475,433,737
DPCs: 145,683,890

I assume the high level of Interrupts is causing that problem. I assume
that is a hardware issue. How can I determine what is the problem.

Also, I read in other posts, one can get information on the number of
Interrupts from Vista's Resource Monitor. How?

Thank you.

Jeff

Dear All:

After my initial post, I rebooted the system, and the problem has not
happened again. I assume that means there was a termporarily
malfunctioning piece of hardware.

The counts of Interrupts and System Idle Process in Context Switches
are very close together now. In my original post, the Interrupts were 7x
as high as the System Idle Processes.
