CPU Usage instantly goes 100 percent an freezes the system

[Fondo0Agnaldo]

Hi everyone.

I am using HP ProBook 4520s Core i3 M370 3GB RAM, 320 HD and Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Just received it from my dad 3 days ago, and decided to tune it my way as i've recently started a programming carrier. I Formatted it, installed ATI graphic driver (as it came originally with its system), JDK, wamp and office 2010 from Microsoft. As i was watching a movie last nigh, all of sudden it went frozen displaying video like a scratched DVD disk (I wondered why!!!) it took minutes, then i decided to have a look at my CPU performance, surprisingly it was 100percent busy. I unplugged the charger and waited for awhile and it then dropped to its normal usage... It kept doing so for several times. I then decided to google but for a dead end. i finally decided to format the machine again, afterwards i re-installed JDK, ATI video driver and wamp, that was all. i went through my testing again (watching a 720p movie) it then happened the same (CPU went 100percent). Uninstalled ATI, the problem persist... I don't know what is happening now. Please help me

Have to tried opening the task manager to see what process is using all of the resources?

Try booting up in safe mode. Click here to learn how to boot into safe mode.

I did, even used the process explorer. All i can see is "system idle process" which consumes 96-99% of the processor, some they say it to no be a virus. I formatted twice, but the problem still persist.

Hi, to confirm is this DVD you watching or a *.avi file or something from the web? Have you tried using alternative media players/browser (like VCL/Chrome), also try installing K-Lite Codec pack if it's files like *.avi that you are watching (Download K-Lite Codec Pack 11.05 (Full) - FileHippo.com)
