so my computer just the last day or two has slowed significantly, so I looked to see why. No viruses, no nothing. If I opened task manager and looked, one of the two cpu displays (1/2 of my hyperthreading i guess) was maxed out. >50% cpu usage. Guess what? no process using it. System Idle Process was most of it, which doesn’t show up. So I used one of our toys we frequent in IT, process explorer, and it showed that that cpu half was completely consumed for HARDWARE INTERRUPTS?
srsly, wtf.
Reset your bios to defaults. Flash it with the latest BIOS. Uninstall and reinstall all drivers and see if that helps.
