So, here's the story. About a month ago, I reformatted my Laptop with a nice, clean install of Windows XP Pro. Totally legit, too. Well, ever sense then, if I let the computer idle for more than about 3 hours (like if i'm at work), the CPU usage spikes to around 95% and just stays there. It doesn't matter what processes I kill off, and the only way to fix it is to shut down and let it set for a few hours before I turn it back on again. I am completely baffled, as is my teacher at uni. Neither of us have seen anything like this before...
If it helps, specs are below:
Intel Core2Duo Meron @ 2GHz
2GB Ram
Intel GMA950 Integrated GFx Card
200GB Drive
Also, i've tried reformatting and repairing Windows, and nothing seems to help.
