ah, well, the problem here is... i cant get the windows 7 sp1 to install in my pc either... it downloads, installs but when it tries to configure, it always gets stuck at 70%, it restarts several times, gets stuck at same percent and i get error 0x80070643.


create a new topic here in the Windows 7 forums and upload the following files:

the complete folder C:\Windows\logs\CBS, C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log, C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log and the C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log
/compress them to 1 zip)

and i really do want the cpu issue gone without doing such a round about way of turning off iphlpsvc. i already do it, but it means i have to suffer 20mins of agony while i wait for it to turn off every time i start after a shutdown. sorry if i'm bothering you.


set the starttype to manual (open the services MMC snapin (services.msc) find the service, doublclick on it and set the startype to manual). Now Windows no longer starts it by default only if a programs/service needs it.

Does the following scenario apply to you?:



the hotfix applies to Win7 RTM he already uses Win7 Sp1 which includes the fix.

you have ACPI.sys issues. What is the temperature of your Intel® Core™ i5-2410 CPU when you have the issue?

then the CPU tries to throttle and causes the issue. Clean the CPU cooler and also try to set the cooler policy "active" instead of passive.

I have a intel i5 2430m CPU, and after I watch a stream for a while or play a game, CPU 0 goes up to 100% usage. It persists at close to 100% at all times until I reboot my system.


I've been loosing myself in your threads for hours upon hours now, trying to get everything to work and this is what I've come up with so far!


When I try to use the "xperf -d latency.etl" command or "xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl" I get a message saying that events were lost and that I need to increase buffer.
I really can't make sense of it anymore, I'm jumping back and forth between your threads trying to decide what problem I'm actually having.


However I got the Latency Monitor to work and I compiled screenshots + the log from the test it ran there.


I'm really sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread/not showing the needed info, I just felt like I needed to get something out here :P

Run this command:

xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout 30 && xperf -d DPC_Interrupt.etl



to capture 30s. If you still get the warning, increase the value after buffersize.

The pictures tell you have ACPI.sys issue . What is the temperature of your Intel® Core™ i5-2430M CPU?

When I boot my comp and I don't have the high CPU usage issue It's around 40 when idle.

Right now when It's supposed to be idle but CPU 0 is at 90% It's at 70 degrees, but thats just because I'm keeping my room like a fridge atm. Otherwise it can go up to 90c.

Here is my zipped DPC_Interrupt.etl.

you have a temperature issue. The CPU seams to throttle to prevent overheating. Set the cooler policy to active (power options), clean the CPU cooler and install the latest BIOS/UEFI.

To me it seems more like overheating is the symptom, not the cause.

Since it can stay perfectly cool(around 35-40c) idle for hours, and return to normal temperatures after gaming.

This overheating only occurs when the CPU gets stuck at 90% load which doesn't always happen after I play games.

The throttling only starts when the temperature is too high. Use the gadget from OpenHardware Monitor and monitor the CPU temperature:

Am using WPA ver 6.2.92 to do the analysis and it does not seem to have the same settings as the one used on this forum. Can anyone help! It has taken me five minutes to do this small write up due to the freezing......

zip the file to reduce the size and upload it to your dropbox or SkyDrive account and post a link here.

The ip Helper service seems to cause it:

Number of downloads: 7

If you don't need IPv6 over IPv4, stop the service.

I have disabled IPv6 on the wireless network connection using network sharing menus and also through regedit using instructions given on this site Disable IPv6 for Win 7 as i didnt know how uninstall it. However the problem still persists :wacko:

However i have realised that the freezing occurs only when connected to our office wireless network!! If am not connected or if connect using any other wireless network (hotspots for instance), or through my phone the laptop works just fine. Our office connections to the server is through wireless infrastructure and no other computer is experiencing this problem...
I have downloaded to skydrive an updated WPR file as still cant figure out how to use it :blushing: Skydrive 2

p.s. i had to disconnect the wireless to enable me zip file fast enough..

Have you stopped the IP Helper Service?

This time you have DPC issues cause by the wireless network driver (athrx.sys). Update this driver.
