Windows task manager is showing that after start up my CPU is always under load at around 20% and never goes below this...

It is a new PC built 2days ago, all updates and AV installed too.

Specs:
Foxconn Blackops X48
4GB DDR3
2x500GB Raid 1
Q8200
Windows 64bit Sp2

I am looking at task manager and cant see anything that jumps out at me, as well as resouce monitor.

Also if i boot in safe mode the CPU has no useage...

Thanks to all who can help me ;)
 
Thanks for quick reply, just downloaded "Process Explorer" and found out 2 culprits - "Interupts" and "DPCs".

Interupts uses around 15% - fluctuating
DPCs use around 5% -also fluctuating

So what are these things and how do I fix? I might re-install windows - will that solve the problem?
