    "Otherwise a clean install without excess software will fix this."

    No it won't. People have tried everything including clean installs (as have I) and the problem inevitably comes back. A little search will show you that a massive number of people running nForce3 or nForce4 AMD chipsets are having this same problem. It always has the same symptoms (interrupts are overwhelming one of the CPU cores) and has nothing to do with applications that might or might not be running. Issues with applications are secondary as a result of an overwhelmed system.

    Microsoft dropped the ball on this one big time. They knew about these issues during the beta testing stage and did nothing to fix the problem. Or was it on purpose they're screwing AMD for a second time -- first time was the deliberate delay in x64 software and OS drivers so that Intel could catch up. I guess their new CEO is no Steve Jobs, because they're knowingly ignoring serious defects in their product.

    I guess they really don't need a few hundred thousand customers who will show them the finger and take up a Mac or move to a Linux solution. If they think I'm going to shell another $1000 to buy new hardware they are sorely mistaken.

    then try using this program: Tune-up 2010
    it has an option for making Process Prioraty Low to prevent unwanted programs from taking much CPU usage, use it, you can download a free 30 days trail. if your problem is still not fixed then i think your OS should be reinstalled for a clean copy.
    you can get the program from: TuneUp Utilities 2010 - Download

    It's usually drivers causing this so, updating everything is good idea and what I've noted about HP laptops is that they are not very compatible with windows 7, they've got so many devices on them that aren't just supported really, and causes all kinds of problems.

    then it's either like what Nikkeli said or your copy of windows is damaged, have you tried another OS? just to be sure from where the problem is.

    from what i am finding it is the nforce chipset causing this issue there are no processes running extra on my PC but i still get bursts of overwhelming CPU usage on both CPUs. has anyone found a fix for the nforce chipset issues?
