I'm getting ~20% CPU usage and core temps ~50C with 2 browser windows open (one streaming video and the other not doing much, only a few tabs).

Here are my basic specs:
Win7 pro x64
i5-2500K stock clocks
M4 ssd
gtx 560 gpu
asrock z77e-itx board
8gb ram

The system typically idles around 40C, I'm not sure what's going on here. No other apps running aside from firefox atm. Thanks

Thanks, I had looked there, but wasn't sure what figure to check. I assumed it would be in the processes tab under CPU (as a percent maybe), but idle processes show 99 so my assumption is obviously incorrect.

if nothings shows up, why do you think you have high CPU usage?

The CPU usage in Taskmgr as described in my first post. To clarify post #5, I am not sure how to determine which process is causing the high cpu usage.
