I have a 3770K running (stock speed) with a stock cooler. The CPU is running at 60 degrees Celcius at idle. Part of the problem may be that idle for this system seems to be 25% CPU usage which is ridiculous but I don't know why it is using this much CPU resources. I have a 4770K system that is configured identically that uses maybe 2 or 3 % at idle. The processor usage is related to 2 windows processes svchost.exe which is using around 13% (constantly) and the other is WmiPrvSE.exe which is using 10-12% CPU resources (nonstop) WmiPrvSE.exe is also doing A LOT or i/o reading on this system it starts reading on system boot up and doesn't stop. For some reason. I have no idea what it's doing but my other system doesn't do that and like I said they are essentially mirror images in terms of software setup.
I have no idea what WmiprvSE.exe is reading so besides my initial question about why this system is running so hot I would also like to know what the heck is WmiPrvSE.exe reading it's at about 80GB right now (i/o Read Bytes), my system's been running for an hour and it's been reading something the whole time since boot up? and also why are these 2 processes using so many cpu cycles for such an extended period of time. I've run Malwarebytes and it didn't find anything and I have Norton 360 running on the system which should be keeping me pretty safe in terms of any malware being the culpret of this weird issue. Thanks to all.
