I need to find out what's using up all of my CPU

A bit more info would be helpful.....

Use teh CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up Windows Task Manager. Click the 'Processes' tab and take a look at what Image Name is consuming the CPU utilization.

Do you have an up to date anti-virus program and have you run it lately? Spyware?
 
Like upthemiddle said, open up task manager and look at your memory resident processes and their cpu utilization. Look for a minute or two and you should see something. How do you know your cpu is being used?

do they find nothing? have you tried MS antispyware? in referance to UptheMiddle's post, how many processes to you have running, is anything running over 50% of the cpu or alot of memory?

1) disable System Restore

2) uninstall AVG

3) install a 30-day trialware of Kaspersky Personal 5

4) go to its Settings tab, set the real-time scanner and the on-demand scanner both to Maximum, and set its Configure Updater to "From Internet, extended databases."

5) right-click Kaspersky's tray icon and have it execute the update.

6) reboot into Safe Mode and let Kaspersky hammer out a full scan overnight.

7) might also be good to afterwards run a scan with Microsoft Antispyware Beta and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Also run a port scan against your system if it's not behind a router: Symantec.
