first chec for any spy/adware installed on ur system..these problems tend to increase cpu activity and increase temp and so on...then u way wanna check the air vents on the case....an also consisder checking the heat sink..make sure it has full contact with the cpu...
u may also wanna change ur heat sink if problems persist.........

Spyware often uses roughly 0% cpu power :p

So you used (good) thermal paste -- how MUCH did you use?

Major heavy OCer??? that was when i was experimenting with computers.. and.. i'm broke.. so i can't afford a new processor.. which is why i made the post.. so i don't burn out the one i have now...

tell me your secret... every amd i have and every amd my uncle has (he's a computer technitian) run around 50-70 C idle... except the one i have now.. cause the moron who installed the heatsink deserves to die...

The secret? The secret is that (a) i know my hardware (b) i enjoy loud computers and dont have a need for silence ... the louder the better and (c) i know my hardware ... did i mention that I know my hardware? :)
