Um, I've got a CPU monitor up on the Vista sidebar, and I'm just sitting here not running anything but XChat and Firefox and it's freaking out. Like, jumping from 10% to 50% to 30% to 100% etc. Been like that since I installed Vista.

This strikes me as odd. Is it?

Ctrl + Alt + del to see if it's just a problem with the monitor. Your CPU could be about to pop.

Task Manager confirms CPU monitor readouts.

Like? I haven't added anything new to what's running besides Vista. Maybe something with all the new effects?

Also, if it's any help, CC pushes it to 100% CPU usage and keeps it there until it's off.

Definitely our proc then. Clean it off, a lot of dust gets onto those ♥♥♥♥.

Whenever the computer does anything it's liable to dedicate all the power it has to the task.

It's not uncommon for refreshing a webpage to spike your CPU usage to full. Just for a moment though.

Doesnt vista do various low priority stuff when you arent using the cpu? Or did I read something wrong somewhere?

Alenth is right on that one. As long as it isn't running consistently at high-usage, you're OK.
