[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 392912, member: 13176"] Well cpu usage does seems high. As your another ultimate user, have you taken advantage of the Windows Vista backup, works similar to Norton Ghost or similar OS image restore software. What i did a while ago was re-install Vista (pain) +sp1 (severe pain) + all updates (Aarggh) that I could get my hands on, this took me at least 2-3 hrs work, never again, too used to XP and Norton Ghost, so did above and created a backup, now can restore a pretty much upto date image of only M$ software, which takes 10 minutes to restore from image file :) Personally think you may have a foobared system, you should be able to run rings around my 4200+x2, cpu wise. I am not blaming MP or any other software that may corrupt a system (drivers do a good job on there own, ask any M$ employee), but if may be something simple, even codecs can totally screw things, and between drivers and codecs are the major cause of bluescreens of death. Did I get boring during this post, oh well, quiz night, so a couple of beers may have hit the waistline :) [/QUOTE]
