100% CPU Usage
Hey guys, I am trying to format a laptop. with windows 7.
Thing is, right now I have installed most of the programs I wanted to, and it is stuck like hell.
When I open the task manager, it says that CPU usage is at 100% (while the ram usage is at 30% or so). When I check the processes, i see that for some reason the task manager takes up like 40 or 50% of the CPU, while the rest percentage gets eaten up by other programs. I cant seem to spot a single process that is responsible for that. Sometimes a svchost takes 45%, sometimes the catalyst control panel takes up 45% etc.
I installed mse and spybot and, since I thought that they were the reason for that, I did a system restore (that took like half an hour to complete, it took me 5 minutes to open each menu. I restored it to a state 2 hours ago, but still it has the same problems.
What can be the reason for that?
