Something is stressing my CPU

My G2 has been slow all day despite several reboots. I checked system panel and the CPU is running at full speed all the time (802 MHZ). I cannot find any running programs that are stressing the CPU with System Panel. Is there any other way to figure out what is causing my G2 to run at full speed continuously?

If System Panel isn't telling you (weird though) then I recommend uninstalling all the recent apps you have installed in the past couple days. Check your CPU usage and if its fixed then start to reinstall the apps 1 by 1 while you check the usage after each install. This way you will find the culprit ;)

Uninstalling a bunch of recently installed programs did the trick. Thanks. Now, it is time to find the culprit and put him in the corner :)
I will also try Watchdog for future use, thanks for the suggestion.
