Sporadic CPU usage

[Rob Williams]

I have never seen a CPU exhibit such random usage as mine did while running a certain benchmark:



Oddly, such sporadic behavior even caused my music to sound corrupted a little bit while listening to it. As soon as this particular test finished, it went back to normal.

Hmmm, 1) did you reboot your machine in the last 5 minutes?
2) when was the last time you visited a hentai site?
3) if the answers to the above are "no" & "never" ... yeh, right ... but anyway, you have malware put on your machine by your nearest competitor.

This is my after 5 PM diagnosis. To be reviewed tomorrow AM.

Interesting. Ive seen similar when a Single thread app was running on my quad core because the thread scheduler moves it around. But for it to show up on HT cores the same way is a bit off.

I second Psi's post. That hentai is taking over your pc

 

[Doomsday]

Malware does that to me PC too!

My educated guess is earthquake. Final answer.

This is rob pulling a gotcha, folks. Don't believe him.

It's photoshopped from his own electroencephalograph as he tries to understand how this benchmark works. Notice the mental exertion.

Oh, all of you people are terrible!

Was the hentai crack ...er ... wise crack over the top? I think Rob is mad at me.

Glad I didn't comment on the "Microsoft ... Adobe disc" thread. Although the day is drawing nigh on the 5 o'clock happy hour so it could still happen.
