u got 2 many windows processes running  if it using 80% on windows only then u have some major windows problems. by the way what version of windows are you using? If its not Windows XP then you need to go buy it or it could be how old your computer processor is. post your computer specs on here and someone should be able to help you

Could be spyware. Search for ad-aware and spybot on google and install those.

The problem is most likely adware and spyware like Roly said. If you don't already have these programs, the links for Ad-Aware and Spybot: Search and Destroy are below. Scan your system with both of these programs, preferably in safe mode. Ad-AwareSpybot: Search and Destroy

Aaahhh by the looks of it, its spyware. Spyware is the worst thing know to the computer world. It just bogs up EvErYtHiNg and its soooooo annoying. As some other people said, its best to just get spyware programs and update/run them constantly/all the time and it should start to speed up a bit.

I don't actually why that happens but I dont think it is due to spyware. I have Spybot and PC-Cillin (updated everyday). Earlier my windows XP was alright now it shows 2-4% CPU utilization. Mine is a Athlon2400+,nForce2-400. I think it is because of problems with windowsXP.

if it's because of problems with Windows XP, check out www.blackviper.com he has a great list of what to disable and get rid of in XP. i must have boosted my computer speed by 25% just doing the safe mode tweaks.

Because having two accounts will be difficult. And I don't think anyone is going to use to hosting accounts. I know wrong place to post this but since you have already mentioned Astahost I thought I would ask.

Try checking the condition of files defragmentation on your hard drive. Defrag frequently. Did you do add something new prior to the problem? New hardware or software? If it's hardware try to disable it first (or disconnect it), if sofwares just un-install it and see how your computer behave afterward.

Hey, you might wanna do what everybody has told you before about the spyware thing, b/c that could be a problem, but it would also be helpsull if you told us, if your computer was running at 80% as soon as it started, or if its after you use the computer after sometime, but you closed all the non-windows applications. Well, it can also be a windows update that made your pc slower, or a program that is not loding right. If you cant fix your pc then you might asswelljust intall your OS again.

Hi Wolfsnipper, You can always go into Window startup configuration & check the processes running on the CPU. GoTo START>>RUN , then type MSCONFIG, then hit ENTER key, then click the STARTUP tab. Check the processes/programs running. Disable them one at a time(don't disable any XP programs yet!!!), then exit the MSCONFIG program & re-check your CPU usage to identify the program thats hoging the thruput on the bus circuit. If you can live without the offending program booting when the computer starts up, then leave it unchecked in MSCONFIG. If you just have to have the program running (eg. virus, firewall etc.) all the time, then look into the XP tweeks at "Blackviper" site listed in previous posts to see whats safe to diable in the XP startup. Hope this helps, RGPHNX

240pin socket on the motherboard and the extra 4-pin to the 4-pin socket across from the
motherboard. The correct 4-pin was left hanging and wasn't used. So after all these things were
done and I connected the power cable to the PSU and switched it on, I heard some popping so....
