CPU Uasage?!?!??!

:roll: Ok - I have no clue what this means but mine is staying at near 100 %!

What does it mean?
Is it bad?
What can be done about it?

Thanks in advance!

It means that something on your computer is running ALL the time - eating up spare CPU cycles whenever it can.

I'm assuming that you brought up the Task Manager to see your CPU usage? Right? Well, bring it up again and click on the PROCESSES tab. Then click on the CPU header twice. This will move all the processing using the most CPU time to the top. Typically, the System Idle Process has the most CPU time. Find out what does on your system. It will tell you the name of the program in the Image Name column. Then you need to determine WHAT it is, and if you need it.
