Thinkpad X61 CPU at 100% for 5 minutes after bootup
Hi,
Think it first started when I first installed an image backup software on my X61 that comes with
an external USB disk. I've deinstalled that software and it gives obviously better response
times but still have to wait about 5 minutes after bootup & login before the Task Manager
CPU comes down from 100% to less than 5%.
Attachment showed :
a) first screen is one process TSC which consumes about 20% or more
b) 2nd screen is one tvt_reg_monitor which consumes 10% or more
c) 3rd screen showed that "SYSTEM" will consume 50-80% of CPU till
both the above processes in (a) & (b) are killed, then only the "System
Idle" will return to healthy level (90% or more)
How should I go about fixing this?
Q2 :
someone told me there's patch that I can install to lengthen the battery time
of Thinkpad X61 : any idea?

Are the 2 processes, TSC & tvt_reg_monitor part of what you've
described, ie if I follow what's been suggested, would these two
processes go away during startup?
I've consistently been able to start up quickly if I used Task Manager,
Processes to stop these 2 processes (the CPU utilization felll within
2 secs from 100% to less than 5% when these 2 processes are killed
