I have a fresh installation of a HDD (Seagate Momentus XT) on my PC with Windows 7 x64. I had Ableton Live (8.2.1) installed on my previous HDD and works just fine I have a set that only gets 12% to 14% of CPU usage. Then I installed again 8.2.1 on my new HDD and I replicate every setting and every patch I have for the OS and in my new installation I got with the exact same set a CPU usage of around 30%. More than double the amount of the old HDD in the same computer with the same settings.
I apply the compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 and I'm getting 14-15% in the new HDD, but this setting wasn't used in my previous HDD.
The only thing I can see that is diffrent about the installations is that in the previous HDD I been installing gradually since version 8.1 to 8.2.1
It's any setting in Windows, that I'm missing? I should try to gradually install Live versions from older ones? If I leave the compatibility mode, it's there any risk on inestability?
Anyone have a similar issue?
8.2.1 CPU usage higher than normal

Another difference are the updates about Visual C++, in the new instalation is just one and in the old installation there are 4.

Problem Solved:
In windows 7 (x64) make sure that in the power management option, you select "High Performance".
