    New build for my brother

    |Gigabyte's P45 boards are very popular and great prices. I like the Asus P45's more, slightly better layout and 3 year warranty. The Gigabytes are slightly narrower, not an actual full size ATX.

    strange 100% cpu usage

    ive actually had a virus that did exacly that. Luckly you fixed your problem because it took me a couple of days to figure out how to remove the virus i had. Even if its fixed itself for whatever reason, i highly suggest you run some anti-virus/adware software, etc because you never know.
