![]() I found the CPU usage rate of "hardware interrupt" remains at high level (30-40%) on my Windows 7 32-bit system with Quartet installed, everytime after the system recovers from "sleep mode". I checked the system with "KrView" (MS-provided kernrate viewer ) and found "wdmqua" in the log. ----------------------------- Results for Kernel Mode: ----------------------------- OutputResults: KernelModuleCount = 208 Percentage in the following table is based on the Total Hits for the Kernel Time 4321 hits, 25000 events per hit -------- Module Hits msec %Total Events/Sec intelppm 2770 5460 64 % 12683150 halmacpi 910 5460 21 % 4166666 yk62x86 421 5460 9 % 1927655 ntkrnlpa 134 5460 3 % 613553 wdmqua 52 5460 1 % 238095 ndis 13 5460 0 % 59523 nvlddmkm 7 5460 0 % 32051 portcls 7 5460 0 % 32051 win32k 4 5460 0 % 18315 cdd 1 5460 0 % 4578 USBSTOR 1 5460 0 % 4578 msahci 1 5460 0 % 4578 ================================= END OF RUN ================================== Then I uninstalled Quartet driver (1.24.10) and the symptom of "hardware interrupts" high CPU usage disappeared. I repeated install/uninstall several times to make it sure that the symptom is reproduced. It seems to be quite natural to assume Quartet driver causes the trouble, IMO. I strongly hope this to be fixed soon. |

Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting us and for the detailed description of the problem. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this issue may have caused. Please run the following command line as administrator: "sc config intelppm start= disabled" Alternatively you can edit the registry key directly in Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Intelppm -> change the 'Start' value to '4'. This should fix your increased CPU load after resumes. I shall be pleased to provide further assistance if it is required. Thank you. Best Regards, SIMS Corp. |
