System making heavy load (win xp pro SP2)

[Wizard number next]

System usual takes 50-99% (as I can see this is maximal value in task
manager) (in most cases 99%). In time when its takes so much time of my
processor, system doing totally nothing. This happens every boot, and this
lasting about 75-90% time of running Windows XP Professional.
I running on machine like this:

PSU:
350W (I do not remember model, but this is good and stable PSU, and I do
not want disassemble computer once again)

All PCI card was wrote therein order I have in my computer (yes you can
build with this my computer)

LGe HL-DT-ST - DVD-RAM GSA-H58N (primary master on AMD756)
LGe HL-DT-ST - RW/DVD GCC-4320B (secondary master on AMD756) (only one drive
connected by 40-wire ribbon cable (it is not capable ATA66, so connecting by
80-wire ribbon is useless)
Maxtor Diamond MAX 21
Model: STM3320820A
Firmware: 3.AAE
Data Code: 07193
General info: 320GB (298GiB); ATA100; SMART capable; 7200RPMS; 8MiB cache;
(primary master on IT8212F)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.7

General info: 40GB (37,75GiB); ATA100 (maybe ATA133); SMART capable;
7200RPMS 2MiB cache (I am not sure); (secondary master on IT8212F)

Long time ago there was another stuff in like:
(of course I do not remember model numbers)

Windows was moved from 1 partition to 3 partition (done in RAW, by moving
entire partition and repairing occurred problems).

There also was S3 Savage4 Pro On Board (AGP Graphics)

And on the end:

GSM modem: Anydata ADU-E100D on USB 4:1
Mouse A4Tech X-710 on USB 1:1

simplified draw of back side of computer

USB Bus 1 (1:1 to 1:4 is from AMD 756 1:3 and 1:4 is front panel from
motherboard (ridiculously in my case this is back panel))
USB Bus 3 (3:1 and 3:2 is front panel of ALi USB (same case front <-> back
panel)

I have very good ventilated computer and I changed all radiators (I have
bigger on CPU with two 5cm FAN instead of one 5cm FAN; bigger on North Bridge
without FAN (originally there is no FAN); I mounted radiator (originally
mounted on North Bridge) on South Bridge; all radiators are POLISHED!) and
mounted 4 8cm FAN in case (two in front (air flowing trough hard drives), and
two in rear side
of case (behind CPU)), I have also 12cm FAN in power supply (FAN mounted in
bottom side of power supply), then this fan taking warm air from CPU. With
this configuration temperature in case do not exceed 21 degree C.


I will await your response.
Please reply ASAP.
