Computer Issues

A couple months ago, I got a new dual-core processor computer, running Windows Vista. I just recently noticed something very annoying after I've been working for about an hour. The CPU on one of my processors gets maxed out, and I can't tell what is causing it. This creates a "freeze" effect while you're working - about every 30 seconds, everything freezes, and you can't type or click anything for 2 or 3 seconds, then it goes away. I tried looking in the Task Manager and sorted by CPU usage, but everything is listed as low.

I attached the Task Manager screen-shot to see if any of you could help me out. Maybe you've heard of this issue before, or know how I can find out what's causing that nasty spike in CPU usage.





Problem Solved

Ah, yeah, it was that easy.
