156454 2003-06-30 11:44:00 Hi all. We have a P4 2.6ghz Northwood HT and i have noticed it now sits on 50% even when windows has jsut started and nothing is running. I have gone though task manager and looked at all the processes going on and there are all the normal ones. Only a day ago I looked at the CPU usage and it was 0~4 (while running win amp). Any ideas?

156455 2003-06-30 11:46:00 I have just been looking at the history of the CPU usage and it jumps around alot.... stays at 40~50% for 3-4 seconds then down to 3% for a second and back up again (over and over). BTW, we are using Windows XP SP1 JamesStewart (874)
