Tip to reduce cpu usage

[zozo123]

I got an intel duo core e7600 which is overclocked to around 3.7 ghz and even it it's only a 2 core cpu i still got like 60% usage when im doing nothing i got spotify up and pretty much everything else is turned off and if i play a game im always 100% and my computer is recently reinstalled with w7  (like 2 days ago) and i think that is pretty wierd anyone got a tip on how to increase it (i have already turned off programs on start up)

Open the windows 7 resource manager and find out what is using your CPU.

You may want to try my simple performance boost

On the visual tweaks check mark the "Disable Desktop Composition"
That service that makes the glass effect takes a lot of CPU.

Try to trace down what process is using up the CPU

I went to taskmanager then into performance and then the resource thingy and found out that something called "trusted installer" took almost 50% of the cpu so when i did close that i dident lagg on bf3 and other games.

Then i went into the Services in msconfig and disabled it so i dont have to worry about that taking up 50% of my cpu usage.

trusted installer is a windows service, disable your UAC and keep trusted installer enabled and it should do better for you
