So Does Coretemp Or Realtemp Also Show The Same Low Loads?
core temp shows low loads. same as cpuid HWMonitor
Is there a lot of hard drive activity when you look at the HD activity light?
No, little to none. Task manager is showing 0-1% Disk load after updates.

I acquired this mobo/proc/ram for free. My friend built this for his mom for picture editing. She complained it was shutting off in the middle of her work. My friend found out CPU heatsink was full of cat hair and it was hitting thermal limit 95-98c and shutting down. He cleaned heatsink and she said it was still shutting down. He realized she was maxing out the RAM. Given his time/money he build new computer and gave this to me. I am lucky that this mobo fits 775 socket so my water block fits. Getting 37c idle temps. I will have to hope things are not damaged and the throttling did its just and shut down.
When first trying to install Windows 10 via thumb drive I could not get mobo to see USB stick. While trying to select boot device it saw my SSD from my i7-950 build and booted to that copy of windows 10 just fine. I then could see thumb drive and told windows to install fresh copy of windows 10.
Now I am here with task manager showing 100% false CPU usage. It is not any one or two programs that are making it hit this high false usage. Task manager takes what ever program is using about the most and says it is using A LOT!
If you can think of anything else to check I am all ears.
Thank you
