Well, I have an HP 3120n HTPC and I was checking out the performance tab and it shows it being around 50%...while I wasnt doing anything! Any idea on what might cause this and how to fix it?? It is real annoying.
 
Its Vista doing its thing... let it run... it'll be slow for the first few weeks or so. It should speed up afterwards, after its done indexing and learning all your tendencies.
 
Well, Ive had it for around 1 month. And it is on a LOT

Usually, it is "system - kernel and NT" process that is making it around 50%. I tried turning off every process I could, and it was still there.

:-\

It is around 3% right now with the "system" process at around 3%. Then I play an HD-DVD...runs perfectly at 1080p. Then I stop it, close powerdvd, then check and it is around 50% and doesnt go away. I turn off all the processes I can...still there. Then I attempt to load powerdvd and play an hd-dvd again and I cant because the video is kind of choppy so it is unwatchable due to the cpu load.

Any ideas?

Update: Now it is working fine...so who knows what is going on! Ahhh

Update 5 seconds after my update: CPU is at 50% again!
