i figured out what was causing it through turning off services one by one... not sue what this service does exactly but my computer seems fine without it... the service is the SSPD Discovery Service, which according to the discription is to discovery UPnP devices on the network... :\ don't need that anyway, lol :P

Services that normally take up only 0.01% of your computer's attention will take up a lot more on a really crappy system. What's your hardware?
