Wierd CPU usage spikes
Hello, I upgraded to windows 7 this past Friday, Dec 4. I went with doing the upgrade from vista 64bit over doing a fresh install to prevent re-installing programs and just laziness. The past 2 days or so I have been noticing some programs running slow, one such is Ventrilo. I did the troubleshoot compatibility to Vista and it works though sometimes it still lags. I decided to check my cpu usage at this time and it showed that the usage was at 100% and Physical mem at 33%. I didn't know what to do so I restarted my comp and everything seemed better.
Is there anything that could have caused the spike, something I can 'fix' to prevent it from happening again. I noticed that the HP Support Assistant thingy is really slow, maybe it isn't something I should have?
Sorry for possibly sounding vague. If needed I can provide system information and such and thank you ahead of time for the help.
