Hi, I recently noticed that the CPU usage it's always above 50%, and the backgroung process that has the highest usage rate it's "system" with a 30-50%.
The CPU's fan it's louder, and the temperature it's 63-64 °C, not bad for a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz

Hey,

Go to task manager (CNTRL+ALT+Delete>>task manager) and then go to the "Processes" tab and click on "CPU" and see which process has the most cpu usage (ignore System Idle Process).

Report back with the name of the process that is using that much CPU usage. Do note that hafijur said your CPU is old, but if this has started to happen recently it could be an update, virus, or just a regular process.

Hope this helps!

Hey, well, the process it's called just 'system', here a screen capture for you to see. It's in spanish but the processes are clearly shown.
