Radeon CPU Spikes!
Ok guys,,,
If i install any driver other that the microsoft driver for my radeon 9700 I get huge cpu spikes when I do anything. This is most visible when I got to scroll on a web page.
I have turned of acceleration and this corrected the problem. I have uninstalled all drivers and reinstall catalyst 3.7 3.8 and 3.9 all give me the same issue.
I am out of ideas.
running on an Nforce2 mobo... PS my neighbor has almost he same config (differn IDE drives ony) and doesnt have any issues.
thanks
*EDIT*
The CPU usage is still sky high with video acceleration turned off but it doesnt manifest itself in anyway ( i can only tell because task manager is running)

I think it was just a corrupted driver.. I went in to safe mode and laid waste to the drivers, reinstalled a freshly DL one.. working ok
