PCWorks: Xp system showing 100% always.

Recently I formatted a computer and loaded windows XP.
Without loading
anything into the computer except for the drivers. I found
that my computer
was very slow. When I press Ctrl Alt Del keys I found that
task Manager cpu
usage was 100% all the time. Can anyone tell me why ?Could
it be Boot sector
virus ?How Can I solve the problem ?Computer is pentium 4
2.66 256 RAM.

Why did you do this? Perhaps there's a clue there for us.
If you click on the CPU column in Task manager, it will
order the 
processes by usage. Which process(es) is taking all the
power?
Are there any yellow marks in Control Panel/ Device manager?
Did you actually format this machine, or just use the XP
install disk?
I would get a good AV and antispyware program loaded ans 
run them right 
away. Say, AVG, Ad Aware and Spybot.
Is this a brand name machine, like Dell, HP etc? If so,
what?
