I've read about this alot, the solution seems to be to leave it, and wait a few days, by that time it should settle down, your not the only one having this.

I wonder if the limitation of 3GB RAM on the 32-bit versions of Vista has anything to do with it?

it just does that:(

you could quiet it down using process tamer

if you use the powermanagement settings to limit the max CPU usage that can stop it but at the expence of gaming proformance
