Thats a common vista thing. Check how many SVC Host processes you've got going in task manager, I bet one of them is using 90+ CPU thingys.
This happened to me.

Thats not what I was going to suggest
I did a complete system restore, which I interrupted half way through causing blue screen of death..... then sent it back to the factory as it was under a year old....
They replaced the hard drive and ram FOC. Then given me a fresh install of Vista (oh joy) and off I went problem free!!
