Booting uses a great deal of CPU activity. You would expect your CPU usage
to be at 100% during bootup.

Hey Scott,

How long does it remain at 100% after boot is complete and you are able to
run applications.

Have a look at Task Manager and post back with which processes are taking up
the majority of your CPU time. (If System Idle Process is in the 90%+
range - that's completely normal.)

You probably mean svchost.exe and explorer.exe. What you are seeing is
normal.
