You downloaded something that's using a lot of cpu power. Go to the processes tab and see what's using so much.

Rebooted and upon restart attempt it said there was a background task running ? I've been doing alot of converting and burning but that had finished when this was still going on. Non the less I rebooted and it's back to 2.00% usage - THANKS ANYWAY
