I've never heard of 'MS' Process Explorer'. What is that?

The simplest explanation is that it replaces the Task manager, and gives a far better report on what a computer is doing, what it is running, where its duty cycles are being spent, and how many instances of duped process, etc.

Cool! I might wanna give it a try on my next puder build i'm still building. I have felt before that the Task Manager's effectiveness was kinda limited. The next build is gonna run W7. Is it's Task Manager any better than XPs?

When it comes to that "100%" usage, which really should *NOT* equate to overheating, there's been an interesting message in here yesterday from a gamer who monitored the internal processes, and found some Sony SecureROM crap is using up any spare cycles that the game is not (for instance, looking at a menu, and the cores are pegged at 100%, most of that, according to that post, is Sony's crap!)

I should have bookmarked that thread, shouldn't I?  It's now several hours later, and as it turns out, the message was about Mass Effect and pegging cores 100% in that game with SecureROM.  I don't have Process Monitoring software here, myself . .

One question for those reporting this problem; are you using the DVD version of the game or a digital download version? If the digital download, I would say it's likely some form of DRM in that that is causing the problem, because the DVD version has none to speak of.

That's an interesting point. Perhaps Digital Download Versions are best avoided. I'm glad I chose the DVD Version.
