Bring up your task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete, select the option "Task Manager"), and click the processes tab. You are looking for the processes listed as taking up a lot of CPU. To make this easier, you may want to order the list by CPU usage by clicking the "CPU" header at the top of the column. You may want to wait a minute or so after startup to check for CPU usage, as many Windows processes will be using your CPU for various tasks (displaying your desktop, loading icons, etc). Note which processes have the highest numbers.

Open your start menu (bottom left by default), and select run. Type msconfig into the box that comes up, and press the OK button.

This should bring up the system configuration window. You will want to be looking in the services and startup tabs. Deselect any startup tasks that you do not need to run automatically when your computer starts (for example, you may not need ITunes to automatically start with Windows), and disable any services for programs which you do not use (for example, the Bonjour service for ITunes).

Once you have disabled unnecessary startup processes and services, apply the new settings and restart your computer.

Where there any processes using your CPU that you could not disable/could not find?

Is there any improvement in CPU usage?
