NDIS is my problem as well. Updated all LAN drivers. Going to browse through this entire thread. Does the wireless ethernet adapter impact anything even though I'm not on wireless? Is there even a point in updating it then? hal.dll is taking pretty much also as you can see. I pmed you the etl file. Here's a screedump of latency monitor: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11526435/latency%20monitor.png What is highest reported hard page default resolution time? Looking at the files what is your advice to fix this high cpu issue? I only have it when network traffic is involved, worse at higher dl speeds. I've done all the usual steps and beyond, updated all drivers, bios, spyware, tried other network, no usbdevices connected etc etc etc. Thanks in advance

nvm, posted in wrong thread, should have been the interrupt one.

Hehe guess I shouldn't bash windows products on this board I've decided, after tens of hours of trying to solve this problem, to try with a fresh install of windows 7. I'm going to do it virtually this time tough hrough WMvare because I can't be arsed to dual boot. What do you think about that? Could there be that the circumstances that matters isn't identical so I can't isolate the problem through virtualization? Ie I take the time to setup WMvare and install windows 7 vritualized and problem is gone. Then when I do a fresh install problem is there again. Never done virtualization or WMvare before. Thing is before I send laptop in to service center I want to be 100% sure this isn't a software issue. Otherwise they might charge me. So will I be 100% sure with virtualization or do i have to boot from a fresh windows 7 to be sure and see if issue persists?

Ye, it was the same version, if by that you mean program version. I'll uninstall Kaspersky, and try eset antivirus only. iirc the period during which I had no prob was when I had only eset antivirus and windows firewall. Yea windows firewall sucks but it's worth it if it solves the issue.

Thank you for your wonderful efforts. Ya the laptop is crap, impulse shopping be damned. But surely the hardware/processor of my laptop should be able to handle refreshing a webpage without cpu spiking to 100% for a fraction of a second. That's what is happening right now, and worse when dl larger files. The machine is only 14 months old, dunno when it was released though. Thing is during a period of 2-3 weeks the prob went away, so while yes the processor suck it shouldn't manifest in the cpu probs I have right now.

Andre this tutorial is very much appreciated. I sent you a dropboxlink to my rared .etl file via the forum PM system due to privacy/security concerns. Please check your inbox and return with some advice. My problem: CPU goes to 100% when downloading any file. Copying to/from USB is no prob. As you can see avp.exe and chrome are both taking a large chunk of cpu. avp is kasperski internet security, but problem appears with eset smart security as well and even with antivirus/firewall completely disabled, and completely uninstalled. ntdll.dll seems to be the culprit in both applications causing high cpu. Have done all the obvious stuff and more, latest drivers, malware, safe mode with networking, tested with ubuntu.
