Any ideas? Is ther a better app than Windows Task Manager?
By using the process monitor I was able to pinpoint the cause of my high use of resources at idle. It was my graphics card, and I had TCP/IP filtering enabled. which after updating my card and disabling filtering and netbios of tcp/ip I was fine.

I idle at 0% now with very infrequent 1% spikes

Here is my HJT log anyways. See anything abnormal?

thanks.
