Hello
I am running Windows 7 SP1 and have Intel i3 processor on a 1 week old laptop. On 2 occasions in last 2 or 3 days I noticed CPU usage at 25-35% for no apparent reason. This was showing on a gadget that monitors the CPU usage and was confirmed by running Task manager. TM showed no applications were running and although 89 processes were running none of them were over 1% and only 2 or 3 of them showed that. The rest showed 0. I clicked on the Performance tab and then the Resource Monitor. Again, nothing showed to account for the 25-35% which was still showing in the gadget and the Task Manager.
Is there another way to track down what is running?
On both occasions a Restart brought the CPU usage back down to the usual 3-5%.
Thanks
