I use SysExplorer from sysinternals suite package and it always shows my computer running 75% usage. Even just by having 3 tabs on my chrome browser window open, sysexplorer and perhaps Utorrent running my CPU seems to alway be maxed out. Even while utoorent is only using like 25% of my CPU. How can I reduce/free up my CPU usage?
CPU is always at or over 75% usage

My guess is that there is more running than you realize... possibly a rootkit.
Check Task Manager, Processes tab, for breakdown - to see if known programs equal total use.
