    1. May be your pc having a virus or malware. Download Norton Security Scan , its free. Perform a free virus scan.
    2. Also to make your pc free from spywares Download Ad-Aware and
    3. And it can be because of some unsigned drivers, see this help Verify Unsigned Device Drivers in Windows XP
    4. Perform a DISK CLEANUP as Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup.
    5. Also do the defrag of your hard disk partitions.

    There is nothing to be concerned about. It will never interrupt your normal usage of the CPU. It will only reach 100% if you are not using the CPU with other tasks. When your computer is doing nothing, System Idle Process will be at 99%. This shows the percentage of CPU available for use.
