PC is always at 100 CPU

[[Pro]]

I ran a malware scanner, a registry fix, checked the main processes, and ran a spyware/adware scan in safe mode already. There seems to be no way that I know of to fix this problem. Does anyone have any idea what is causing the 100% CPU usage at all times?

MSconfig>startup/services tab>hide all ms services>disable all

Reboot

if not run combofix

I already did the msconfig thing, and it ran fine, but I couldn't connect to internet. What is combofix.
Btw the OS is Vista.

Can't you see in taskmanager what process is using that much CPU?

A virus and spyware scan would not be a bad idea.

Run antimalware scanners like Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes, etc. Also check and make sure that your heatsink is on. When processor underclock the same task that would take a little bit of processor takes a whole lot more.

Also, OP, open up task manager and find out what process is causing the 100% usage

How many virus scanners do you have and what are they?

Open task manager and go to the processes tab and click the cpu tab and take a screenshot and post it.

Yeah I read the OP, you can never assume people know what they're doing, or have completed the steps necessary in the proper order at the right time.

Also, Pro post that screenshot so we can help you.
