100% CPU Usage

Tried reinstalling graphics drivers, can't seem to figure out the problem

It's an Athlon XP 1600+ with 512 MB SDRAM, 32 MB integrated S3 ProSavage GFX, and a 80 GB HD if that makes any difference.

Sounds like you have virus or spyware issues. Is windows updated? What anti viru software are you using?

Computer was just formatted (new hard drive), all updates are installed. AVG Free is running, couldn't be a virus as it hasn't gone online much yet and the problem's been there since day one. CPU usage only spikes to 100 when scrolling up/down a page using FF or IE.
 
Out of curosity do you have a spare graphics cad around somewhere you could toss in there? I wonder if that might take some of the graphics processing away from the CPU and free up the CPU for other things. (Just a wild idea BTW, not really based on any kind of fact.)

I don't think I have any spare AGP graphics cards, I'll ask around in any case. Anyone have any other ideas?
 
have you installed the graphics drivers, just a wild guess, at work we have some old laptops that have windows re-installed that dont have the video drivers installed and they use 100% to scroll on anything.

Yeah, tried installing the newest drivers from VIA's site and it didn't do anything 🙁
