Sorry I didn't reply before, was unable to due to heavy workload.
I did all that. Disabling startup items made no difference. I cleaned up my entire pc. Since my last post somehow stopped jumping to 100%, but can still easily jump to 70% at random times.
I uninstalled McAfee (fully, deleted everything it left behind as well including registry keys), made no difference (but I was sick of McAfee anyway so it's okay).
I of course checked with virusscanning, Spybot, AdAware, HijackThis. Nothing was found.
What I do notice now is that whenever I hit ctrl alt delete to check my CPU usage, I can see the CPU being abnormally high, like 80% as it was just now, but it immediatly jumps back to 1 - 15% after that, as if it's hiding its excessive CPU usage for me.
The only eating processes I have running is Azureus, Firefox and Explorer and I hardly think they can do this to a 2.8 ghz dual core. I've checked my running processes countless of times and nothing weird is in it. The total amount of running processes cannot do what happens to my CPU.
So something weird is going on. Could it be my LAN, something wrong with configuration? I'm attempting to virusscan with Panda now.
The other pc is doing fairly well, I think, it still has some CPU usage but that somehow kinda solved itself. It still is very slow
