I don't change a thing with my services, plus I have MalwareBytes Antimalware and Avast! running 24/7, I have stuff for my iPaq, stuff for my DL manager, and quite a few other things that load on startup - and I don't get CPU spikes like that unless I am doing something. and at idle I have between 1-3% utilization.
Now, just b/c you're not doing something *actively* doesn't mean something is not going on in the background - if you have any Fx add-ons that synchronize to a website (like Weave, Read it later, etc) then you 8are* doing something. Also, if nothing on your system is showing any CPU utilization, and yet you say it has an 80% utilization, then you're either not reading the results correctly, or something is lying.
You can't have both 80% usage and 80% idle. It is not physically possible.
So, again, what *exactly* are you running, and please post screen captures so *we* can analyze it - you are our eyes and ears on this one, but we're not getting enough info from you so we need more.
*also* if this only occurs when the system resumes from sleep or hubernation, that is an ***important*** fact. if it occurs at *exactly* the same time after a reboot, that is an important face - we need to know these things in order to be able to trouble shoot your system.
It's the equivalent of saying "My car won't start."
Do you have gas?
Is the water pump obstructed?
does it have oil?
Is the carb / injector getting air?
Does the batter have power?
Is the starter / solenoid in working order?
Is the car in Park or Neutral?
That is just a *basic* list.....
