CPU usage is 100 %

I am using windows 7 ultimate and it was all going good till I tried to copy music files from a Portable Player through usb to my computer and i used "Show Hidden Files and Folders" to view audio files as I didn't see any of them then there was a System Folder and I tried to open it and BANG my Pc got stuck and Problem of 100 percent cpu usage appeared for the first time!! I shut down and restarted and scanned pc with nod32 and malware bytes to no avail!! CPU and Memory usage is still higher than normal!! Thanks in advance for your help!!

Try clean boot and try to

Agreed, try other solutions in the troubleshooting guide in my sig too. I would also add more RAM, 2GB isn't sufficient anymore.
