What tools are used to determine why a cpu doesn't idle?
I've noticed lately that my 2600k cpu doesn't idle. In other words, when the cpu should be idling(cpu cycles near 0%)it shows as high as 50% and over in my CPU Usage gadget. Recently I installed Uniblue Driver Scanner(newest version). I don't remember this problem happening at that time. The graph looks like it "pulses" every 5 seconds or so. Just to see if it was affecting anything, I uninstalled Driver Scanner. I've looked at my Processes and Services but was unable to tell what was stressing the cpu. Can someone give me an idea? Sorry If this in the wrong forum.
