ISSUE - From the moment the laptop is booted up the cpu usage in task manager hits 100% and stays there. Everything runs incredibly slow

Hardware = Laptop - Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975

Whats been tried so far - Laptop has been scanned by the following which has all been updated: AVG, Spybot, Malwarebytes, SuperAntispyware
I have un msconfig and turned off all applications on startup, I have run disk defrag as well as CCleaner

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Brian
