hello, first post here...hopefully I am posting in the correct place.
I have an HP Compaq 6710b that seems to have a mind of its own. Some times you can not plug the power chord in without bogging the thing down. watching the CPU usage chart it will shoot up to 100% as soon as you plug it in. when you unplug it usage goes back to normal (below 20% ish)... this does not always happen, in fact right at this moment it is working fine...nothing really triggers this problem that I can tell.
when you unplug it the following balloon pops up...
"The Broadcom netlink gigabit ethernet device can now be safely removed from the system"
then when you plug it back in the following balloon pops up...
"a network cable is unplugged"
as I said, nothing seems to trigger this problem. I can be running fine, then it will appear to freeze up. A look at the CPU usage chart will show it at 100%, and if you unplug the power chord you can watch the usage chart return to normal. Normal is actually more along the 5%-10% average.
thanks in advance for any help!
