Hello,
I just recently installed a new CPU/MB/HD in my computer and am having a small problem.
When I run programs, like steam, it brings my CPU usage to between 5%-20% randomly. I compared it to my friends computer running the same process and his was a steady 1%. It doesn't effect anything in terms of performance but it's quite bothersome to watch it jump around like that. Any clues to what the problem might be?
Some numbers from Windows Resource Monitor:
Steam.exe (not downloading anything) 1.97
System Interrupts (not sure what this is) 1.20
Firefox.exe (.54)
Using a
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
Here is a screenshot of Resource Monitor for ease

If anyone has any suggestions as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
