For some reason, when I try to run Pi, its like Windows isnt recognizing it. My CPU usage stays around 1-5% and when I actually let it keep going it takes about 30 mins just to finish 6 loops! The weird thing is, when I run Prime95, my usage stays at 49-50% constant. Any idea what the problem is? I also tried running in realtime, no help.

Do you have write permissions to the drive you're running pi from?

Load BIOS defaults and try again.

I have loaded BIOS defaults and it doesnt help. I created another account with admin privileges but no difference. How can I tell if I have write permissions? I would think I would consindering I havent changed any settings.

thats weird, did you try a reformat? Sounds like a drastic measure, and it is one, but it could help you out.

Yes thats just what I did. All is better now. It was just weird cause thats my bench rig and I didnt have anything on it besides bench programs. No important data lost or anything, just a hassle :(
