Full list of the issues.. This is my last attempt before I start calling Microsoft and spending hours on the phone accomplishing nothing...

ok... do you have any other ideas?

I just found something else too! This is what my BSOD errors were saying back when I was getting them... Stop 0x000000D1 (00009789 00000002 00000001 bf7eef09) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. This hotfix is for windows 2000... could it work for my system with Windows 7? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841194

I use a USB mouse. I simply had it on a PS2 adapter. I found an interesting/potential topic/reason here - does this sound/look like anything that might be going on with me? I have a similar graphics card http://forum.sysinternals.com/hardware-interrupts-high-cpu-usage_topic12982_page1.html This is old, but it might be something...

Disabled the lmhosts service, still having the same issues. Any other ideas? Thanks for your continued help.

I disabled the NetBIOS, and I've tried different mouse/keyboards with USB connection... still no difference. I've made sure that my chipset and LAN drivers for my MOBO are up to date... the only thing I have NOT messed with is my BIOS... it just doesn't make sense that this would start happening out of no where due to BIOS... I'm using a version of BIOS that is a little over 2 years old now, and there haven't been any issues until a few days back. Here is a new ETL file... maybe you can see something different here. http://cid-c9365deeff3ffb21.office.live.com/self.aspx/New%20folder/DPC^_Interrupt.rar

I found the netbt.sys... but I am not sure what to change- I am guessing it's the part named 'Legacy'... although when I try to change that, it won't let me... it says "error when setting new value"

Andre, Where can I find the area to disable the netbt.sys/NetBIOS option? I do use a PS/2 mouse AND keyboard.

PS - If we get this fixed, I will pay you- It seems like you've helped dozens and dozens of people, so I'll pitch in for them too.

http://cid-c9365deeff3ffb21.office.live.com/self.aspx/New%20folder/DPC^_Interrupt.rar There is the ETL file for you Andre. I hope we can pin-point this issue. I've also been getting some strange messages about a Creative Game Port... which I know is some type of thing that is not compatible with Windows 7

I just ran the chkdsk on all of my drives... no errors. Let me show you something else that might have something to do with all of this... because this happened out of no where... things just started getting slow... everything takes long to load, etc. I went to re-run the diagnostics test... I was prompted with this So I deleted those... AND THEN re-ran the diagnostics... and NOW I get THIS The only thing that I updated recently IS in fact my graphics card... I updated to the latest version of the display drivers... and then this all started happening.

I have two external HD's and a CD/DVD drive. You should know that the Windows Diagnostic Report that pointed out the high CPU usage also pointed out something about one of my external HD's being flagged as a "dirty bit" or something along those lines.

Andre, Can I get some help here? I've actually talked to you on another message board... I've figured out my issues... I think I need to update my BIOS- Here is my MOBO http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2982#driver I know that my chipset is up to date... I'm running out of answers here =(
