Ram reduction

Hello there. I guess that you have 1GB of ram memory?
Anyway if you want to get free ram memory start RamMap and click on Empty from menu and select Empty Working Sets and System Working Set. This should reduce your ram usage.
Also why don't you use utorrent ?

Make your system lean and mean by getting a thumb drive 8GB less than $10.00 and put all your non essential software and stuff on it. Then uninstall them from your computer and defrag and disk clean.
This will take a load off that 1 GB of Ram until you get your new job at UPS.
Good luck in seeking employment and most of all
Welcome to 7 forums and report back to StalkeR on your results.
Have a great day.

Run the cleaner. You will be asked to restart Explorer immediately ( You have to do this or it wont work ).

   Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
   
2. 2
   Click on the Processes tab
3. 3
   Look for explorer.exe in the Image Name column.
4. 4
   Right click on it and select End Process. This will terminate Windows Explorer.
5. 5
   Click File from the menu.
6. 6
   Click New Task (Run...).
7. 7
   Type explorer in the Open field.
8. 8
   Click OK or hit Enter. The Windows Explorer shell will restart.

This will remove old icons and windows will refresh the cache automatically.

There's nothing wrong with 100% usage of the CPU - it's normal to see that. Also with memory, if you are not using it - why do you need so much? Stop worrying about the percentages.

It is heat that is the killer, and not the heat chucked out - that shows your cooling is working - it is the core temperature and importantly the temperature of the graphics processor that you need to monitor.

SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

can help, but also has some overclocking features which can be dangerous, only to be used if you can afford to replace a burned-out system.

Here's a recent thread where a member is actually using the Windows power settings to reduce the processor use, and noticing little difference in performance:

Dealing with the power managment on windows 7

You can reduce the impact of Vuse on your system by configuring how many seeds/peers you download from and upload to, and reducing your maximum rates of transfer. Dump the Vuse toolbar if it has installed itself in your browser.

You could also use that 10$ memory stick (suggested by The Howling Wolves #3 above) as a readyboost drive, taking some load off the installed system resources.

If you use MSCONFIG, you can unload some of the stuff that loads at startup - and also fills your notification area with icons, it is a large area though, but you may find some pointers here:
