hello, basically this is my issue. i am using my computer that ive had for like 6-8 years, mainly because i dont have the money to buy a new one and ive been having some issues. now, i dont know if its recently started happening, or if it has always been like this because i had a pretty bad memory.

that is the computer i have. the only things ive changed on this computer is ive upgraded to win7 and ive added a nVidia GeForce 8400 GS graphics card (as a temp graphics card as it was cheap and i really needed something)
my problem is, when i open a program, my cpu jumps up really high (80-100%) until the program finishes loading and opening fully .. i was curious as to if maybe thats normal for a dual core 2.6ghz? but i dont know anything about computers so i figured id ask you experts.
also, my cpu just seems really weak .. and i was curious as to if maybe it was a hardware issue? like old parts and theres not much i can do, because its just all outdated and i need to buy a new computer. but im just trying to hopefully find something to fix whats going on now, until i can just build my own new computer.
