When I mentioned early on that it would help us to see a picture of the CPU% in the Task Manager, I should have said that an easy way to see all that's going on is the Processes tab, as opposed to the Performance tab. Click on the Processes tab then sort on the CPU column. What is at the top, that is using all the CPU resources?


Hi Matt, Yes, we need to see the resources. That's what I was looking for too.

I'll bet the web cam is causing the resources issue, either RAM or CPU, or both - but probably indirectly.

Incidentally, I tried a web cam in a Windows touch screen tablet with an Atom 1.66 GHz processor just yesterday. It went to nearly 100%CPU which actually didn't surprise me. Not that it probably needs that much, but once the system cannot handle the processing load, it goes into a downward spiral. Once pool is low the O/S is probably thrashing the swap file as well, essentially putting the system in a runaway condition.

I resolved the CPU load by setting a lower camera resolution. Note though, this computer is not my BIAB setup. The Atoms are a bit lightweight.

Cheers
