high CPU usage
First of all, I have a Lenovo X61 Core 2 Duo T7100 @1.80GHz, 2G RAM with Windows 7 32bit 7600build and this is my problem.
My CPU usage is at 20% ~ 30% when idle and constanly goes up to 100% on whatever I do, even if i just right click on my desktop cpu goes up above 60% for couple of secs. If i try to download anyting from the internet CPU goes up 100% with DPC usage above 30% while downloading, this also happens when someone is copying shared files from my laptop over the network. I've tried fresh installing my windows 7 with all the updates and correct drivers, but I get the same problem and I only have SEP with anti virus protection and office 2007 installed. And the funny thing is if go back to XP from my norton ghost image i backed up, my cpu is normal and it stays around 2% to 3% when idle. So my question is.... is this normal? does Win7 use more CPU then XP???
