I have a computer I built a little over a year ago, and I finally decided to do a clean install upgrade from XP to Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I never had any problems with it before the upgrade.
The computer's specs are:
Intel Q6600 processor
4GB PC6400 RAM
MSI P6N mobo
Nvidia 8800 GTS video card
It should be able to run any version of vista with no problem, but for some reason, it always has at least 50% CPU usage, even when I have no programs running, and only the minimal processes. As soon as I open up any program, the CPU usage goes to 100%
I have no idea whats going on with it. I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
Resource Monitor shows that perfmon.exe and sidebar.exe are the two heaviest CPU usages. Even with other programs running, the CPU usage shown in RM still don't add up to 100%.
Any idea how I can fix this?
