Mysterious processor usage...

Sorry this is a bit long. To sum it up, my CPU usage was at 60% yet nothing showed up in task manager as being used. I typed out what I was doing to see if anyone could suggest what might of caused this... :confused:

As mentioned before, I'm using my laptop while I'm waiting for the GPU cooler for my main system. I had some pictures I wanted to edit so I connected my camera to my laptop(works like any other USB drive) and loaded about seven 5.0MP images into photoshop at once(nothing huge, just took a while on USB) While loading I messed around on the net a bit. Had some stuff to do on ebay and all... Once it was done, I messed with the photos, filtered out what I wanted, then started to crop one.

At this point I realized the machine seemed to be bogged down a good bit so I bumped it back up to full speed. It was a bit better but still seemed sluggish. I got the pic saved then checked task manager. I was running 60% CPU usage or more idle. What's odd is that none of the tasks showed any usage. Even the idle process stayed at 99%

I don't get it. I logged off and back on with the same problem. I restarted and I'm fine... I don't visit any sites that should give me virus's(I'm careful where I go with this machine) and I shouldn't have that much spyware if any... I just scanned yesterday and got nothing...
