    If not done so already,
    Try tracking down source of issue via
    Windows Task Manager > Processes tab > CPU.

    It would probably also be a good idea to run the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostics. The drive light could also be on due to read retries. The Ultimate Boot CD has most manufacturer's diagnostics.

    anne--Another app to determine what is running in the background is Process Explorer.

    Have you cleaned up Temporary Internet Files, etc. lately? You could use DiskCleanup
