Does this look right? CPU problems

Hey for the past month or two I've been having CPU problems. My CPU seems to be under some sort of load constantly while idling. The temperatures are 15-20 c higher than they were previously on average.

I'm using the i7 860 with the P55 LE evga motherboard. Cooled with the Corsair H50 using the Silverstone FT-02 case.

Thank you very much.
 
Hi,

Judging by your Task Manager graph your CPU actually isn't idle. I suggest you try to make a note of exactly what is using the CPU. Ok, it's far from heavily loaded overall, but it's enough to make your temps a little higher when you're not doing anything.

Just check your process list, it should be fairly clear what the culprit is.

Note: I use a task manager replacer called "Process Explorer" it shows a little more detail and is friendlier...might help.

Cheers,

Scoob.
 
Hey I installed the program you suggested and I found that my Razer Mamba was causing the load on my CPU. Fantastic program by the way, thanks for the suggestion.

The load is gone, however my temps are still pretty off. Maybe I'll reinstall the tim on the H50, though I'll have to look into that, because it came preinstalled with it. Don't want to void my warranty. Thanks!
