Built first computer, 50-100% cpu on idle

Hi,

So I recently built my first PC however I am encountering some problems running it.

First of all:

600w coolermaster psu

i5 2400

6770 1gb

gigabyte P67A-D3-B3

500gb 7200rpm western digital drive

4gb ddr3 1333 patriot ram

Even just after booting up, my computer is very slow. The w7 gadget or widget thing that measures cpu usage constantly has it between 50 and 100%.

What is wrong? Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

Take it apart and put it all back together again?

Ctr + Alt + Del

Start Task Manager

Processes Tab

Look for anything using more then 1-3% CPU for an extended period of time.

Once you see, then you can fix it by right clicking the file and going to file location. Make any changes needed (un-install if need be).
