My Q6600 intel core 2 quad @2.4GHz with 4GB of Ram is running odd. Only the first core runs around 80% but the other 3 cores are at 0-5% on idle. It hasnt always done this, all the cores ran about even around 5% load. I havnt added any new programs or deleted any. How do i fix this?

open taskmanager and look for new programs (or programs you don't know), if you find any, look them up with google (so you dont close important ones)

btw: 0-5% is nothing, if you move your mouse you can easily get 15-20%
but since 80% isn't normal, there has to be a single-core program thats using resources...
