CPU has a mind of its own?

A few days ago, I was stress testing my computer after a few new fans I added in, since I was having overheating issues. Prime95 was the program I used. Unfortunately, after I did one stress test, then ended it, the CPU continued to run at 100%. My temperatures reached 60C and task manager noted that my cpu was running at 100%. I tried other task managering programs that said the same thing, although there was no programs running, even in the background, that would even come close to be using that kind of CPU power. With no other options or solutions, I did a full system restore, and it seemed to have fixed it. 3 days later however, its now doing the exact same thing. I was simply web browsing and the computer all of a sudden got louder. i checked my temperatures and they were 60C again. Task manager stated my CPU was 100%. I tried another system restore to 3 days ago, and its still doing the same thing. I have deleted Prime95 and exhausted all options. My CPU doesn't seem to be running at a full 100%, because I loaded up Skyrim on Ultra settings and it ran 55-60 fps. My CPU does seem to act like its being stress tested though. I would really appreciate any input or possible solutions.

specs:

AMD A-10 6700 series. 3.7 Gigahertz quad core
8 Gigs DDR3.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650

If task manager is saying your system is at 100$, what processes does it indicate cause that? Click the"Show Processes from all Users" button at the bottom of the task manager window.

Thats the thing, there are no processes that are anywhere close to using that kind of processing power. They're all under 1%.
