CPU Usage at 100%

[Jaz]

I have a computer that keeps pegging it's CPU Usage. I reinstalled the
operating system without any applications and it still pegs at 100%.

Any ideas what might be wrong?
Is it a hardware issue? If so, what might it be?

Thanks,
Jasper

Use Task Manager. Click on the CPU column. What is using all the time?

Ah, that means the CPU has 100% available to run programs.

Of course. What's second?

System Idle Process

Everything else is zero. Not sure what's going on.

What made you say something is using 100% of your CPU in your original post?
