    hallo everyone,

    i recently put windows 7 ultimate on my pc using a loader.Everything worked fine except that one of the cores of my cpu runs at 80% or higher without reason.I found out that the mobo`s driver has something to do with the problem.Each time i install(not always) the driver the core comes back to normal.

    my mobo is Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 ....i might not using the correct driver i dont know...if anyone has an idea????

    i would also like to ask if there is a better(safer) way than a loader to activate windows?


    (i am new here and i dont know much)


    thanksss

    Is your Bios uptodate?
    F5, F6 F7 or F8I?
    If you don't want to use a loader, flash with modified bios and activate with oemcert and key.

    you sound like you're not too experienced with computers... so I suggest just sticking to the official BIOS from gigabyte... go to their website and search with the model # that matches your motherboard... then READ the instructions carefully and download the latest one that it shows
    the BIOS update tool will check to make sure it is compatible (usually), and it will also display what your current version is (usually)... but you can also pay attention to your bootup screen for BIOS version info... if it's going by too fast, you can press pause on your keyboard to pause the booting process
    modded BIOS's are risky to the inexperienced and you really need to know recovery procedures in case things go wrong... if this is your only computer, it is more the reason not to mess with them

    also, in task manager, if you want to see kernel times, you have to enable it... it is not on by default... click "view" and select "display kernel times"

    yes i am not experienced at all with bios.I went to the website but there are lot of updates F4,F5,F6 etc....how do i know which one to put?and how to put it?
    could my problem with the lan driver be caused to not updated bios???

    and in case of something going wrong what recovery procedures should i know????

    Also check Windows update for updates for your BIOS in the hardware section.

    Never use @Bios , just put the bios rom on a flash drive and leave it plugged in and reboot PC and usually you press END on keyboard for QFlash, if not then just go into BIOS using DEL and look for the QFlash option.

    Loader does not alter any windows files. All the loader does (Daz loader) is to inject slic into BIOS and installs OEM SLP and cetificate before booting into windows. When windows started up, WAT (Windows Activation Technology) scan for slic 2.1 and corresponding OEM SLP & Certificate.
    When Windows 7 scan it found SLIC 2.1, OEM SLP and certificate and marks your windows genuine. Using loader to activate your windows is very safe and less risk because BIOS modding entails certain minimal risk similar to BIOS updating. For BIOS modding, instead of a BIOS file provided by your MB manufacturer, some experts here modified the file and you use it to modify your BIOS through BIOS updating.

    ok i did some study and i think i understood some things.I will try tomorow update my bios but i still dont know which update to put.
    Friend woebetide suggested to put F8I but in the description of what it does, it does not have any update for the cpu which intrests me.I dont know if previous updates like F4 are included to F8I.
    i noticed F4 and F5 have to do with cpu issues and since my problem is a cpu problem what should i do?


    The one core that overloads could it be caused due to not updated bios?if not any other suggestion?
