My P4 2.8ghz HT CPU usage constanly goes up and down even when computer is
not in use and this seem to happen when i hear noise whistling noise on my
harddrive. Putting the computer to sleep and then waking it up seem to fix
this? issue I'm having. what is going on? are there any setting i have to
change in order for this problem to stop?
 
Apparently it's because your hard drive is over loaded and Vista had it's own
safety system who run a periodicaly a hard drive defragmentation in essence
to create more space and run faster programe and pc. What is untold in this
process it's that take up to 3hours to defragment the HD and during the
process , it's a pain in a bom to access internet which run slowly and use
the RAM memory which is also used in the defragmentation.To resolve this
issue, i run a check disck after the defragmentation which take also a long
time depending of the content on the HD...but at the end of the day...it's
worth it and the pc run smoother
