I have Windows Vista (64bit) on an HP with an AMD Opteron CPU.
I have instances when the computer goes into sleep mode and it will not "wake" upon movement of the mouse or upon pressing a key on the keyboard.
The CPU appears to be high at those points (as shown on the G15 keyboard), and I am wondering if there is a possibility that it is a virus or other malware.
I can't seem to get into the OS at that point to see what is listed on the active threads/applications.
Any recommendations?
An Opteron could be an expensive machine. You wouldn't want to discover a bum board (nod to the dv6000, dv9000 recalls) out of warranty.
