CPU loaded for no reason

[wiresman]

OK, been looking into my crashing and have noticed with the CPU Load monitor that occasionally when I boot up my computer that the CPU is loaded @ 20-40%, things seem to run fine but when I shut down it crashes. I have checked the task manager and have shut everything down except for explorer and it still shows CPU loading. I have noticed when the CPU isn't oaded at idle, it shuts down fine. Is this due to overclocking, temps are @36C., Volts = 2.03-2.05 , Intel Celeron 333 @ 500, ZM6 mobo.64MB RAM. Thanks in advance. I noticed someone posted something about this somewhere, but I could not find anything using the search. Wiresman...

Hmmmmm... odd... what OS are you using???

Argh I recently removed a virus that gobbled up my memory, and seemed to cause random reboots. Check and see, might have to reformat.

wiresman...maybe its time for a scandisk and a defrag or possibly an OS install and if not that then a format and clean install

And dont forget to put your CPU back to stock speed to install your OS
