Whats the full specs of the PC & OS?
Could it be that its just very low on system memory and needs an update?

Im getting this quite a bit from media player of all things.
tho its not eatin ram it chews CPU useage, when I close it it doesnt stop completely and I can still locate media player in processes list.

Media player seems to do that on some machines for some reason. On my brothers old P4 it used to eat 50% CPU constantly when it was running regardless of whether it was playing anything or not. Multiple XP reinstalls didn't help, and the countless fixes we tried didn't help.

Similar spec:
Im on
E8400 @ 3.6
4Gb DDr2 1066
Vista Ultimate64
4870
check for media player in your processes list.
Whilst I cant replicate teh issue 100% of the time it happens quite often, if I leave media player minimised and not diong anything its quite happy, if I close it it acts like an angry badger and chews my cpu
