    Explorer keeps on freezing, and this only happens when I right click on the disk when the cpu is at 100%, this is not that often but I dont really want to have task manager open all the time.

    It is not at 100% all the time, it is only when it is really working hard on something and then the right click gets messed up and explorer crashes.

    Yea, I would like to think it would thaw out after a while and come back normal? :p

    All jokes aside though...I think alot more info. could've/should've been given here. For ex. which process exactly is causing your CPU to go to 100%?

    When ever the cpu is at 100% no matter what it is doing and you right click on ether the desktop or in explorer it locks up and the icons go away and then come back. But it takes awhile.
