No, when it's checking to make sure the hashes of incoming blocks are correct.

So you mean when the blockchain is being downloaded or when a new block is found?

Anyway I just rebooted my machine and it isn't consuming allot of CPU anymore. Oh the joy of Windoze.

It should only use a lot of CPU power when it's validating the blocks.

You mean when I'm actively solo mining?

My client is in server mode and the last in my failover list, but I'm not actively solo mining against it and work shouldn't be leaking to it with stratum.

It works fine for me too and actually downloads the blockchain really fast, compared the 3.2.1 version that I recently upgraded from.

However it does use about 50% of my CPU. Anyone else see that?

Edit: Oops, I'm using 8.1 on the machine where it's consuming 50% CPU.

I reinstall 7 and it works fine

Right, so the problem was something wrong with your install, not something inherent in Win7 itself. That's what HellDiver said, and you called him and ignorant child. Try being a lil nicer next time.

I have Bitcoin-qt 8.3 + Windows 7 and no issues.

You, me and hundreds or thousands of other people who all can get it to work with no issues.

Lucky you
Won't work for me
I've uninstalled it re downloaded it and reinstalled several times
It just won't work

I reinstall 7 and it works fine

No, Bitcoin-qt doesn't work on Windows 7 at all. That's why I'm running it along with a P2pool node running off the backend of Bitcoin-qt. On Windows 7. It works perfectly on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It also works perfectly on Windows Vista.

Before you start talking shite, try fixing your install, your internet, or whatever is wrong with YOUR installation, and not with anyone else's.

There is NO PROBLEM with my instals my internet or anything else stating CRAP like that is just a slam
of an ignorant child guess you can't read that the old version worked fine

So much for NEW & improved

I've let bitcoin-qt (8.3) run for over a week & a half it's still 238 behind
I guess the windows version does NOT WORK
the mac version was all synced up in a couple days
the last version 7 synced up in a couple days
none of the version 8 for windows will sync on my windows 7, I've tried 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3
