asked

I have a Dell Inspiron circa 2002 with Windows XP. The CPU is idling at 50% even with all unnecessary services disabled. Only in Safe Mode does the CPU idle in single digits. No error messages are present. What could be causing this issue and how can it be resolved without reloading the OS due to a broken CD drive?
