I have a question, and I was hoping you could help me...
I recently went to a LAN party, and everything worked fine for a few hours. Then, all of a sudden, three of us (all with the A7n8x or A7N8X-X motherboard) started having the same problem.
When plugged into any sort of network, Cpu usage fluctuated steadily from 0% to 60%. One second it would be fine, the next it'd be using 60% of my CPU, then fine, etc... A fourth person had the same motherboard, but was using a separate Network card instead of the onboard one. his computer worked fine.
One of us even got so annoyed as to reformat and re-install windows, but that didn't fix the problem... we downloaded all the latest nForce drivers, even the new Catalyst drivers (though that probably had nothing to do with the problem).
Neither Norton nor AVG, both with the latest definitions, turned up anything suspicious, and the problem completely dissapeared when the Lan cable was unplugged.
Any information or help you can give would be VERY much appreciated...

Much Obliged,

Jeff Wright

would be my guess, ok, looks like you scanned.

still say it's a worm... probably a new one (since they are coming out daily now). keep scanning and updating your virus definitions, and see if something comes up in the next week or so.

also, next time try an online virus scan, http://housecall.trendmicro.com/


after the guy reformatted, should have had him only connect to the guy that wasn't having the problem.
 
i have the same problem with my rev 1x board... it seems to be the onboard nvidia lan connection as when i use the 3com that (supposidly) takes more cpu cycles it gose away and i can game all night on the 3com ... but after a few min on the nvidia socket it goes to crap after a few min's ... so i use both... i use the 3com for gameing and the nvidia for the leechers as it dosent seem to hit the system hard untill i try to run games over it...go figure

thore
