I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, and CPU usage will sometimes spike to 100 percent on one or both cores for a second or so, and then drop down to normal. The spikes usually happen when my wireless card will attempt to reconnect after losing connection, when I'll resume the internet after walking away from the PC for a while and lastly when I'll be typing something on the internet. I'll hit the keys but nothing will appear onscreen, and about two seconds later the word will appear-and the spike is over. My wireless card is a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter, WMP54G.
Why would this be? Could there be something wrong with the CPU? I just installed it last week. Thanks
Here's my system: GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, ATI Radeon x1900XT 512, 3 Gb DDR2 400mhz, 250 Gb SATA HDD. (I have installed all of the drivers for my system, and I use Nod32 as my AV and Spysweeper for my Spy Removal program)
