Thanks for the reply! This is a desktop build so the only battery I could think of removing would be from the motherboard, but I'm a bit wary to do so.

Hi Magic Andre! I've been following this thread for the last few days and I gotta say, your directions on how to find the driver that's hogging my cpu was really helpful. i found out that it was the ACPI.sys as well as a lot of system interrupts but I have -no- idea how to fix it. This is a brand new home build computer with a clean install of Windows Vista x64 and it was working fine. It wasn't until I upgraded to Windows 7 home premium x64 that I started going really really slow (understatement of the year) and I can't figure out why. Processor: AMD Phenom II x2 555 Motherboard: Biostar N68s3+ Graphic card: Radeon 5570 All drivers and Bios are up to date and I have downloaded SP1 and the other windows 7 updates with so far no success.
