  1. Need more information intelppm.sys. Windows not using max CPU when load demands.


    Should Windows use full Intel CPU power when load demands it? It doesn't according to task manager and performance monitor. Many people think it should. A quick search will confirm this.


    A widely recommended fix is to remove the intelppm.sys key from the registry. Apparently from many reports, this works. At least for the problem it's meant to fix.


    However, I have read that Microsoft and Intel have some experience with processors and operating systems. That leads me to think, they might have had a reason for limiting the processor speed in my computer.


    So before I unleash my computer, I'd like to know why they thought it should be hobbled. I'm a math student whose computer needs to do some computationally heavy lifting. And I am sadly disappointed with the performance of my brand new i7 16Gb, which is a plugged-in desktop with no need to prolong battery life. Waiting on it to populate large matrices is slowing the progress of my education.


    If there is a solution short of putting my new computer on Ebay and spending $2000 on a more powerful workstation, I'd really like to know about it.

    :)

    CPU throttling due to intelppm

    Hello,

    thank you for the reply, I tried both suggestions, no change, and I think it's a hardware error after all.

    With the intelppm driver disabled, the laptop shuts down every now and then, mostly under load, the event log simply states that the previous system shutdown was unexpected.

    Also, open Hardware Monitor is showing one CPU core running at around 100 degrees Celsius, with very little relation to load, while the other core is between 40 to 70 degrees depending on the load. The laptop itself is cool to touch, the BIOS-controlled
    fan is running quietly most of the time and I've cleaned the heatsink, changed the thermal paste some time ago, so I assume it's a sensor malfunction.

    I assume the shutdowns are caused by the incorrect temperature reading, does this happen on a hardware level, or is there any way of disabling it in Windows? I have the latest BIOS, and there are no such options.

    'System and compressed memory' on ASUS G75VY notebook load CPU always on 16%

    thank you for your reply!

    here what I did:

    1. disabled non-microsoft services, disabled all applications in startup list

    result: after restart "system and compressed memory" still gain 17% CPU

    2. ran PC into safe mode ( just to see what happens )

    result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

    3. ran PC in normal mode

    result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

    as we can see from step 1, the problem probably is not in applications ?

    what would you suggest in this case ?

    looking forward for your answer
