T60 with ATI x1300 running hot, ati2evxx.exe at 99% CPU

#1 Post by Muse » Sat Dec 18, 2010 11:42 am

Haven't seen this before. TPFC indicates the fan speed is high, at 3435 RPM, yet the CPU is running consistently very high at 65C, while the GPU is 77C (that always seems to run in the 70's). Task Manager indicates that ati2evxx.exe is most of the time pinned at 99% CPU usage. Why would this be happening?

Dec. 2010: Now thought to be over 11 miles wide!

Start > Run and type in services.msc. Go to Ati Hotkey Poller, set it to disabled and stop the process.

Thanks.

Is this something I should do now or only in the event it happens again?

Either way. It's doubtful that you use ATI hotkeys...not many folks do.
