Hello,

I have an Hp g6 2236tx laptop with switchable gfx. After upgrading my PC to win 8.1. There is a significant increase in CPU utilization. Earlier it was 4-5 when ideal , now its 15-16 when ideal therefore the fans keep running all the time. Whats wrong with my pC ? thanks in advance.

We need to capture a xperf tarce to see why the PC has a higher CPU utilization.

Install the WPT (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4847.install-the-windows-performance-toolkit-wpt.aspx , open a cmd prompt with admin rights and run this command for 60s:

xperf -on latency -stackwalk profile -buffersize 1024 -MaxFile 256 -FileMode Circular && timeout -1 && xperf -d cpuusage.etl

press a key to stop logging. Zip and upload the file to your skydrive and post a link here (post a link without http or replace http with hxxp if you still can't insert a full link)
