I have been having a problem for about 2 weeks now, where my computer is permanantly at 100% CPU usage. when i check what processes are the cause of this problem, it is always System Idle Process using up 99% of the total usage! ive reinstalled all my drivers, scanned my entire pc thoroughly several times and deleted 37 viruses. The problem has not been fixed, in fact it is getting worse.
When ive been checking the forums, everyone says that System Idle Process is meant to be taking up 99% of the total CPU usage, but thats only normal when the CPU usage is hovering at 5%. Every thing is running completely slow, and i have no idea what to do! i am reluctant to format because i have over 50 gig worth of movies saved onto my E drive, And many other important things. I am unable to burn these to DvD's because it would take forever due to the CPU usage being at 100%.
Specs: (i cant get too in depth as i do not know much about computers)
