re: Jumpy cpu usage Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 10:33 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by wolfmaster (1 messages posted) Did that, it did nothing. I have always had this issue even with my old laptop and thought it was inherent in all computers designs. But then i started seeing other computers didn't have the issue. Then I built a new computer myself and it has the same issue. It will idle at 10-20% because Firefox, AIM, Itunes, etc all use about 5% each and it fluctuates. If i send an IM it will jump to 10 for aim, for example. Whenever I move a window it will go to 20-100% just for that window depending on the speed of movement!! (This happened with my old laptop as well) Does this mean a video card issue? If so, how do i fix?
