I have the Gateway 827GM 3500+ Media center Athlon64, and sometimes I can
check my task manager and I notice on my CPU usage and it will be at or
almost 1/2 up on the usage, and when I check to see what it is and it shows
HARDWARE INTERRUPTS, it will stay this way until I restart my computer, then
it is not running, I do not think it does it all the time but it does seems
like when I am maybe changing settings like screensavers or wallpaper, can
any one help me on this? thanks
