Recently, when I open the Windows Task Manager and look at Processes, the CPU percentage next to explorer.exe is almost always around 50. I'm not as computer savvy as I should be, but I do know that it shouldn't be that high. This does not happen when I immediately start up the computer, but it does reach that level after the computer has been left on for about an hour. After this happens, my computer will be incredibly slow, and whenever I try to open a window such as "My Computer", it will crash or I will get a Runtime Error. Basically, the computer will not want a window like My Computer to stay open for more than a couple minutes.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me in solving this problem as it is greatly annoying. Thanks so much!
