[Zupemen <catalin.virbanescu@xxxxxxxxx>]

my laptop's status is still the same
CPU is still at 90% on one core (as seen in system monitor) when it should be idle even when i plug in a usb device. The only thing that helps is the webcam being active :(
The core that goes up to 90% usage is random, it is not the same one every time i login
