Hiya guys, just noticed today after my gf went to play one of her games that the cpu usage was at 100%. After manageing to get the system 'unlocked up' the cpu is now irradically jumping from 0% to 25% to 40% and back to 0% when just browsing windows. It does idle sometimes at 0-2% though.

Right, this machine is a new build, only about 2 weeks old. yes i have installed all the stuff that i need, but i have never noticed this before (not that i sit and watch my cpu usage all the time)

Is this something that could be related to a virus or is it me just being paranoid? I have rolled back to the day before to see if it helps, but seems the same.

Any ideas on this ?

Just noticed that if i roll up and down with the mouse in this screen i can get my cpu usage upto 100%!!!!!!!!

The spec of the machine is in the sig :confused:
 
To be honest i think its just me being paranoid...seeing what you guys have said and not having watched the usage to any degree before....

Think i might try killing it with some photoshop rendering, if its happy then its just me getting a scare when trsuy old windows had a benny on me :p

Thanks for your quick replies guys, will reply back here if my test goes **** up! :D
