Default cpu usage problems

my cpu always runs at 50% capacity unless in safe mode.
In safe mode the cpu runs at 1-3% unless I run ANY program, then it jumps to 50%.

I've run the following scans on my computer:
symantec antivirus
ad-aware
spybot
spysweeper

After removing some things they all turn up clean and I still have this problem. I tried:
removing all programs I don't need
disc cleanup
defragmenting

I have about 1 gig of ram and a pretty fast computer. This problem started when I shipped my comp back from school. Any guesses on how I can fix it? occasionally the computer will just completely freeze up as well.
