Cpu Usage is High all of a sudden
I have had Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit running on my Dell XPS 410 for about 3 months now. I have had a few problems, but nothing compared to what Vista put me through. Now all of a sudden, I can't do much multitasking anymore. I have a Evga Nvidia 9500GT graphics card with 1gb ddr2 on it and I use dual monitors. Usually Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player on one and Safari on the other. I have never had a problem doing this before. Even when I had the stock 7300 ls. Now I'm having troubles. My media screen will repeat itself frequently or my browser will hang. When I look at the cpu usage gauge on my widgets it will read something like 95%-100%. All I will have open is Windows Media Center or Windows Media Player and Safari. I have a 1.86 Core 2 Duo and 5gb of pc5400 ddr2 ram. I have made no changes to my system other than formatting one of my hard drives that Windows 7 filled up with backup. I decided that if windows needs more than 500gb of backup then I would rather back my files up manually. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advanced! -Kevin
