100% CPU usage - Windows XP

My CPU is almost constantly at 100% usage! Even when I’m doing nothing with it! It started a few days ago and I haven’t got a slightest clue why! I didn’t add anything new to my PC recently. I’m using it for surfing mainly and sometimes to make a Word document – nothing that’s really CPU consuming, right? So, what’s going on with my computer then?

The most probable thing is that you got some kind of malware while surfing. Have you checked for it? Download and run HijackThis and send us a log file here so that someone might check it. Other than that, the only thing that I can think of is that something is physically wrong with your CPU. But it’s really unlikely, so check for malware first if you haven’t already.
