Submitted a post about this problem running on 6.3 (around 22nd Feb), I have since reinstalled the system with 7.0 and it still displays the same behaviour, ie, a large amount of interrupts. Top and dmesg below. Any help appreciated.

I also got 6.3 loaded onto an almost identical machine for an hour and it had the same problem.

Regards,

Rob
