uTorrent eating up 30-40% of processor. Help?

Raizal · February 19, 2011

I have read quite a lot of the topics on here in relation to this problem. Most of the problems relate to it eating processor over time, or eating the whole 100% of processor.

Things that got suggested was to check for DPC processor usage while the program is running, which is <1% nearly all the time.

Another suggestion was to check PIO is DRM mode, which I have done and it is set to DRM.

Lastly, it is a FRESH INSTALL of Windows XP sp1a, upgraded to SP2 -> SP3. I have Comodo firewall and anti-virus installed, Process Explorer from Sysinternals, and drivers for everything.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

DMA, not DRM mode.

Is it actually using DMA mode as the "Current Transfer Mode" or not?

Sorry, it was late last night when I posted and I really couldn't be bothered to check my spelling/grammar for everything.

Anyway, since last night a few other things have been installed on the machine so that it isn't a lump sat in the corner. First up, Process Explorer:

And lastly, yes it is using DMA mode for transferring data. Took a while to weasel out but I managed to find it in the end.

And that's fixed it. Thank you very much.

Who would have thought that I had installed that! Stupid motherboard disk...
