is this your card?

I looked at reviews on this card and havn't seen any issues with windows seven.

Have you uninstall and reinstalled the drivers and see if that is for sure making your cpu run at 100%?

When you were in task manager, you saw everything but task manager around 00 and task manager going between 99 to 33, was the cpu still showing 100%?

Have you tried to disable some of the services that are running in the background?

[mgabriel]

Sounds like you got a bad card. uninstall and remove the video card and see what your computer does.

[leothebest]

ok i fixed the blue screen ...and i ran the run process application and it shows that the video card is causing a hardware interruption of about 98 % of my cpu ...is there any fix to this?
