Are you running any cracking programs like Seti or RC5?

Anything like CPU cool or any other cpu monitoring devices.

Also get this program from here. http://www.helponthe.net/tsgbb/Forum14/HTML/000100.html

It works real good at showing what your system is doing.

way to go with that program.. it shows win32xi.exe using 97% of the cpu. I have no idea what it is but i'll soon find out.. thank you very very much

You are very welcome. Glad I could help.

Post back when you find out what it is.

win32xi turned out to be a subseven trojan horse virus. windows wouldn't let me delete it, because it was active all the time. knowing the full path, I was able to delete it in dos. all is fine now. the program that Chris A pointed me to was a great help.
