I have an HP laptop (HP g7-1320dx) that I am trying to put Windows 8 on. After installing and even in safe mode the CPU is pegged with system interrupts. 30-40% consistently. I have another HP laptop that I can use a donor so ... I swapped out the RAM, hard drive (spindle and SSD), the DVD drive, the wireless card, remove all USB devices, different power adapter, with and without battery, only batter with no power adapter. I also tried disabling (in device mgr) the sound, the web cam, anything I can disable that isn't necessary. All drivers are updated. I tried both HP's drivers and direct from manufacturer where I could (realtek, AMD). Rebuilt a few times.
There is one unknown device which I have not been able to track down a driver for. I don't think that would cause the issue though since the driver wouldn't be loaded.
Perhaps this isn't a driver issue and the system interrupts are from something else. But in my experience (I'm a sys admin) and from all my googling system interrupts = bad driver.
Anyone know a good way to track down what driver it is? It's obviously something I cannot swap out or disable.
