cpu stuck at 50 percent usage or higher

I'm using an x2 6000 processor. I have tried everything imaginable to
fix this overloading of the cpu. I have reformatted and reinstalled
vista and updated all my drivers. I also disabled indexing. The programs
using all my cpu are system and system idle, both on about a 50/50
split. My processor will easily hit 100 percent if other programs are
introduced. The processes max out only one core, and the other idles. I
also reset my cmos. If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it.

What are you using to view running processes? If it's the standard task
manager I suggest using a more in-depth tool, such as the latest "process
explorer", so you can see what's going on in more detail.
