I own a Dell xps M1730, supposedly the ultimate gaming machine, i have over 350 gigs of memory and 4 gigs of ram, not to metion a duel processor. I am running windows vista ultimate. Usually the machine starts out fine, but if i open any programs, (word, itunes, games,etc...) after a period, say 20min to and hour and a half, my CPU usage will slowly rise to 100%. I have tried turing off the wireless router and internet connection all together, but this only slows the problem. I have heard that windows vista may be the cause and note that out of the box it runs over 90 processes. I have purchised the full version of McAfee. If anyone has had a similar problem or can help I would greatl appriciate it. I have reduced all the extra visual crap on vista to as basic as it can go but I still get the 100% CPU slow down, I am on the verge of downgrading to windows XP. Please help me!
