High CPU Usage

My laptop CPU is running 100% steady and I'm not sure what's causing the issue. I ran task manager and also resource monitor, and nothing was using a lot of CPU usage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Do you have any scheduled tasks running? Unnecessary Services? You might also check Reliability Monitor.

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm currently running process explorer, cpu seems to be within a normal range. On the account on the cpu was running 100%, so I'm going to run process explorer on the account.

    Is this Windows 7? Are you reading this from the resource manager?

    Yes, the computer is running windows 7. Do you mean resource monitor?

    Yeah thats what I meant. Sort by Average CPU and see what's at the top. My plugged in laptop here with Firefox running stays in the low one digit percentages for the most part. Spikes a little higher sometimes.

    Are you running in high performance or balanced mode by any chance? (power settings)
