Excessive CPU Usage
Howdy,
I have a stand alone box with my DVD burner in it Gigabyte 7VRX M\B Xp1800 CPU Runs XP Pro No network card or internet connection I just use it for burning Dvd's Problem is that the cpu usage with no programs running is quite often running at 60 -79% I've done a clean install of windows no change, I've tried shutting down most back ground programs that are running. Does any one have any ideas Thanks in advance |

Does any one have any ideas How is the CPU usage 60-80% with no programs running? SOMETHING must be taking up the CPU time. Fire up task manager, click on Processes and then click on CPU to order the list by CPU usage. That should throw some light on it.
