Yeah, I've been staring at that thing this whole time. Basically, anything that runs will run it up to 99%. Steam opening up runs it up to 99%. Opening an audio file will run it up to 99%. Running a virus scan: 99%. It's like I'm missing all my CPU headroom.


The defrag is at 9% after 2 hours... that may be a clue as to what the problem is. I hope so, anyways.


Starting Steam and running a virus scan would peg things bad normally, and defragging takes fucking forever. Here's a question - is defragging causing the thing to spike to 99% (while its running, not right at the beginning)? Also, disable your antivirus software and see if things are still spiking all over when you open them.
