Windows Vistaâ„¢ Ultimate 32BIT
Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
System Manufacturer HP Pavilion 061
System Model EG194AA-ABA A1250N
System Type X86-based PC
Processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+, 2200 Mhz, 2 Cores, 2 Logical
Processors
BIOS Phoenix Technologies, LTD 3.47, 3/3/2006
SMBIOS Version 2.4
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000"
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 3.00 GB DDR 400mhz PC3200 (2 ~ 1GB sticks &
2 ~ 512k sticks)
Total Physical Memory 3.00 GB
Available Physical Memory 1.98 GB
Total Virtual Memory 8.94 GB
Available Virtual Memory 7.80 GB
Page File Space 6.00 GB
Monitors: Acer X221W and HP vs17
Acer X221W
Adapter driver: 8.493.0.0 5/12/2008
Monitor driver: 1.0.0 3/27/2007
HP vs17
Adapter driver: 8.493.0.0 5/12/2008
Monitor driver: 6.0.6001.18000 6/21/2006
Graphics Card: Diamond Radeon HD 3650 1GB/GO DDR2
Power Supply: 300W

After installing my new ATI 3650 card my core 2 processor is continuosly
ranging between 90 and 100%, while core 1 is running normally between 0 and
10%, yet my memory usage is only ~35%. Additionally, the system is running at
~58 degrees F.

I checked my other drives and partitions where I'm running Win XP media
center edition and Win XP Pro and both cores are running normally with both
OSs. I also switched processors, 3800+ and 4200+ (939), and the problem is
exactly the same with each. Also, I've un-installed / re-installed drivers
and CCC, and completed a full memory test with and without the HD 3650 card
installed, no errors.

I've attempted to gather the latest drivers, bios, and everything else I can
think of, yet nothing has altered this strange behavior. I really don't know
if this is a Video Card problem or a Vista problem but I suspect a Vista SP1
problem since everything is normal when using XP. Any help resolving this
problem will be greatly appreciated.
