My Cpu tends to run at 100% when I'm using software that uses alot of memory.
Thus creating quite a bit of noise.
So I downloaded some stuff that would tweak my computer.
Now the problem is it runs at 100% but will dip down to 20%~ every 30seconds or so.
Causing my system to run smooth, but any big applications to run slow.
So knowing its something I downloaded, rather than try & undo everything it's done;
I deleted my D drive(had xp on it), then made a new Drive and reinstalled xp onto it.
Which should have cleared any change of settings on the Cpu.
Only it hasnt.
I know its not running at fullpower because its hardly making any noise;
even though it says my Cpu is running at 100%.
Does anybody out there know how this can be fixed/restored?
I would rather a noisy 'working' computer, than a quiet 'broken' one.
Thanks.
