Hi, i've been experiencing High CPU (upto 15%~) from NT Kernel and System. I game a lot so although 15% might not sound a lot, it really does make me lag during my gaming, and I've read that the process should be 0% usually.

After running WPR for a bit whilst the issue was happening, the following results were graphed.

Any advice on how to go about lowering the CPU usage on a windows 7 machine from the process would be uch appreciated.

P.S.,already ran a virus scan.

P.S.S. Running Win 7 64-Bit with AMD drivers
