I could kick myself for not thinking of this sooner, as it's happened to me a bunch of times. Sometimes CPU useage can show as full, even though it isn't, assuming you're seeing it reported via Task Manager. If it's the same thing, it really used to drive me nuts, but it's a very easy fix.
In Task Manager, go to
View -> Update Speed, & make sure it's set to
Normal. If it already is, try setting it to something else, then set it back to Normal. When you look at that menu option you'll see there's a paused option. Don't ask me why, as I haven't a clue, but sometimes it gets set to paused.
If that doesn't work, do you have Spybot Search & Destroy installed on that machine? If so, open it, & under
Tools - View Report, make sure the 1st tickbox is
OFF, & the rest are
ON, then click
View Report. When it's generated the report,
Export it [save it somewhere easy to find], then zip it & attach it to your next post & I'll have a look.
