I dont install any sort of new drivers, programms or something else, but my comp is very slow, when i pressed ctrl+shift+esc i saw,that "System" is using 50% of my CPU, (i have a dual core), then i searching in internet and foud some helpfull tips, but they dont work... one tip is helpd me, and System now use only 30% CPU, but i dont think that it is normal, becose i dont have this problem never, I have laptop:

asus aspire 5720G
Intel core 2 duo T7100
Radeon HD 2300 HyperMemory
1Gb DDR2

scan your system for virus, and download Process Explorer

Then try following this advice... System process is taking over 50% of CPU time - microsoft.public.windowsxp.general | Google Groups

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running,
D-click on the "System", and go to the "Threads" tab and click on the CPU column, and take a screenshot of the Process Explorer window and post (like my example)

How's it going, have you found what you were looking for?

many times that gives a clue, and helps you solve this kind of problem. if you can identify the file in question, and to see whether it is a known system file or driver, and then also, you know where the problem comes from and sometimes you might be able to find a solution.

Other beauty of Process Explorer: it lets you kill individual handles and threads of a process without nuking the rest of it. Very handy when I had to remove a trojan that attached itself to explorer.exe when it ran. A version of Process Explorer is built into Vista.
