A few weeks back I had my SSD completely crap itself and I had to format it and reinstall windows. Now I have everything where I need and precautions to where my computer won't break again. but I have noticed that my CPU is really high (locked above 35-40% idle) and my RAM at around 40-55% idle and it goes up alittle bit while playing games but can get really high during GPU/CPU intensive games (70-80% both). So I'm curious to what is happening because before it used to be CPU = 10% idle and RAM = 20% idle, so I don't know if it is my cpu cooler, which is the basic cooler, that is crapping out or if its something with a program.

Specs:
i5 Sandy Bridge 3570K
8 GB of RAM
Stock Fans
Stock CPU cooler
Radeon 7850 OC 2GB
GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H

did you reset your optimal settings in bios? vWhat I'm trying to say is did you go in to bios and reset the settings to optimal settings,save and exit see if that helps.
