Hard Faults/min high??

**Iphone** · 14-May-2007, 02:22 AM

Question: My Vista Business system is very slow. I have a dual core 2.66 GHz 2GB system (new purchase from DELL) and something must be wrong.

Looking at the resource overview, I can see that svchost is initially causing > 8,000 hard faults per minute and after idling for 30 minutes of so this goes down to 4,000 hard faults per minute.

Should I be alarmed, or is that reasonable?

Vista does use a lot of system resources, and SVCHOST.EXE can be related to many different issues.
I would follow the steps in this link and post back your findings. Hope this leads you in the right direction.
