I am trying to find out why 70-80% of my 1.8 ghz processor is constantly in use. With 8 processes running, all essential to windows, just sitting there idling, my processor use as reported by a diagnostic is 65-85% and I would like to know why. Pc pitstop alerted me to the problem and I have spent the last week trying to find out where the resource hog is without results other than having the leanest machine in town. Amdxp 2200' 512 mb of memory kt400 chipset. I can free 430 mb of memory, so that isnt the problem nor is the swap file (500 mb) full.
