When publishing movie on movie maker either saving to pc or writing to disc
the cpu usage goes from 2% up to 100% and is using a hell of a lot of memory
Surely this isnt right and something is going on here that needs sorting

Any advice appreciated

Rendering (publishing or finalizing) a movie is an intensive task and
will put a load on your CPU, (can make it run hotter) ditto for
spiking memory usage and having near constant hard drive activity.
This is normal and will be more noticeable on less powerful systems. I
wouldn't worry about it unless your system becomes very sluggish WHILE
rendering. In other words you should still be able to multi-task and
use your computer for other tasks at the same time without strain.

This is one of those situation when the rendering application will hog
as much resources as it can (to get the job done faster) but should if
working correctly still give up resources to other applications.

I have AMD athlon 64 dual core processor and 1024 ram was able to do other
things at same time.
As this is 2nd pc in 2 months because of motherboard failure was concerned
that I maybe had major problems again.
I take it then than this is normal and no need for concern.

Yep, playing certain high end games and video rendering are two of the
most demanding things you can ask any computer to do, even a high end
one because so many pixels are getting moved around. With video games
you obviously see a lot of movement and rapid changes on your monitor.
With rendering you often are changing many thousands of pixels in each
frame and at 30 frames a seconds things get kind of busy meaning both
a lot of disk activity and calculations within the CPU registers which
is memory intensive. ;-)
