So I've got a question for you all, but I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct board so my apologies if it's not. So about ten minutes ago I had task manager open just to see how cpu was handling because I was experiencing some stuttering in a game. I closed the game, and went to open steam when task manager basically went full ****** on me. Now I'm not sure if it was task manager or my cpu, but it seemed like my hardware polling got bugged and was polling way faster than normal. I'll post a screenshot of what the task manager looked like. Should I be worried?

What is using all those resources under the processes tab?
Also, did you black out memory and page file info at the bottom?
 
No I didn't black them out, that was part of the issue. The processes were just plugins running in my browser, and I was running at about 10% usage idling before this happened.
 
I've already rebooted and everything is running is running fine now. It was just really strange.
 
It's a good idea to reboot a Windows-based computer every several days to clear the accumulated memory leaks.
