Go into the window task manager (CTL+ALT+Delete) and look at the Processes Tab.
Have a look at which programs are running and specifically which one being greedy with your CPU. When I first got my last Inspiron there was one program running the background that kept taking up anywhere from 80 to 99 percent of my CPU. I can't remember what it was called.
I just clicked "End Process" and it stopped being a problem. You have to be careful though. Ending process on the wrong file can do damage.
