High CPU Usage Issue. Looking for Solution

[Shauno1216]

I have a problem with my computer because my CPU usage is always on high around 40%+ and the process that uses most of the CPU is system interrupts. Now I found out how it gets so high because the Video driver is the cause. When I uninstalled it, the usage went down to >1%. I had a fresh install of Windows 10 and that was the latest driver for my GPU. I also have this problem on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 before and were all fresh installs. On DPC checker it shows the latency of the PC. It's always red with over 4000+цs (not correct symbol). My specs are as follows:

Windows 10 64-bit
Core 2 Duo E4600 @ 2.40Ghz. Not overclocked
2 GB RAM (will upgrade soon)
Unknown Mobo.
Generic PSU 580 Watts (Although it says its Power Choice brand)
Pallit Geforce Gt 730 2GB DDR3
WD 80 GB 7200 RPM
(Originally a Lenovo PC but modified)

I know it's not a very powerful PC but I would like to see if this issue can be solved. I could revert to an older GPU to see if there is a difference (I have a 8500gt).
Thanks in advance.

This is because your CPU lacks the instruction sets to take full advantage of your graphics card. An i7 2600 would be much better for that GPU.

Thanks for the reply but I have repeatedly experience this problem with an 8500 GT, an ATI X1600 Pro and my own chipset.

Let me be more specific... That CPU doesn't do a very good job at all of taking advantage of dedicated graphics cards.

I wouldn't call this a hardware conflict, but a case of a set of components that are not optimized for each other.

OK thanks but the other available CPU I have is a Pentium D 820 2.8GHz but I have another one but I need a different motherboard (Core2 Duo E7600 3.06GHz).

Core Duos and their cousins, the Core 2 Duos, will have these problems.

Please consider upgrading the system as a whole. If you need money to do so, you can sell your system as a "work in progress" to someone who wants to try to overcome these challenges.

OK Thanks again. Do you have any ideas on how to do this?

Simply buy new components.

As for selling your current system, just list the difficulties in the ad if you feel like it.
