So, I just updated from windows Vista Ultimate 32bit to 64bit. I also upgraded my memory recently from 2gb to 4gb though i don't see how that would factor into this issue considering the ram is perfectly capable for my motherboard.
The issue is I'm seeing huge spikes in my system idle process. My computer will go from nominal performance to around 50-100% usage. My cursor lags and trying to navigate menus is impossible. The really annoying thing is that it was running alright yesterday but today it's kicked off my internet (it was working) and now it's practically unresponsive. I've scrolled through similar topics concerning vista 64bit but i haven't seen any other person's issue that looked similar to mine.
I've tried updating my drivers using a memory stick, downloading the chipset, graphics card, sound, and various other drivers on my laptop and then installing them on my desktop since i can't get the thing on the internet, but to no avail. My onboard lan refuses to connect to even my modem hooked-up directly, much less through my router. Sometimes it will act like it's at least connected to the router but i cant get to the router configuration utility through 192.168.1.1 (it's a linksys router) which makes me think that the drivers i used to update the motherboard LAN weren't compatible with vista64 even though the site i downloaded them from the marvel yukon site saying that they were compatible with vista64.
I don't have onboard hdmi audio, or video, i do have spdif. On a related thread there was a result where someone turned off hdmi audio and that fixed their performance issue, but that wont work for me.
