High CPU Usage - Problem??
Hey all,
After upgrading from Vista and using W7 for a few hours on my laptop I decided to go look at the cpu usage and noticed that it was and stayed well over 40%.
I remember from using Vista that it rarely went over 20-25% even when I had a number of apps open.
I was just wondering if there is something running in the background that I am not aware of and that I don't need as surely the cpu usage shouldn't be that high??
I've only got avg running ontop of the standard items running in the back ground, and I've been through the tutorial to see if I could shut anything off, but it's not made a difference to the cpu usage.
Just concerned about my laptop over heating tis all, the fan hasn't stopped spinning since I first started using W7.
I've attached a Screen Capture for your viewing pleasure, incase it helps!
Your thoughts would be appreciated folks.
Cheers
