    my laptop have recently developed a problem, CPU usage would go 100% and everything would go dead slow, and restart is necessary to recover

    it happens at random times while watching a move, or on skype, or just in MS Office...

    it happens in Stamina and Speed mode

    Since this problem started i have Clean installed windows 7
    Changed antivirus to MS Security essentials, then got rid of antivirus all together (i thought that what was causing problems)
    Still ever so often 2,3 times a week it will go to 100% CPU and I will have to restart
    PS
    Also I have noticed that all browsers I have used IE8 ,IE9 RC, Chrome will take have multiple processes for them (for a single browser and it will take up to 50% of CPU) I this normal ?
    How can a browser take 50% of 2 Core i7, when it runs fine on Asus EEEPC with 1Ghz single core Atom ?
    -----
    Specs.
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64x
    CPU - i7 620M
    Quad SSD
    8GB Ram
    DVD drive

    ---
    Also sometime use HP Touchscreen with the laptop, just thought to mention since it will start touch services in windows


    Any help/advice appreciated
