Re: High CPU Usage on idle Machine..

Hello to everyone,
I just ran the Live CD of Linux Mint 7 i was so pleased to see the interface that i immediately decided to install on my PC. Before that just by chance i went to see the system resources & i was shock to see that it was using the CPU from 40 to 85 % even the machine was idle i mean to say no opening of any application or doing any processing. I even checked the resources & i couldn't found any processes utilizing more then 15% of CPU. I have attached the screen shot for Resources and processes
Kindly let me know whether this is normal or what & i had also used openSUSE 11.1 KDE 4.2 & on idle machine the CPU usage was always 0-2 %.
I am worried because if the CPU usage so high on idle machine then it will effect my PC & its battery since it will drain much faster.
The Config of my Machine is
AMD Athlon 64x2 - 1.7Ghz, 3 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Nvidia GEForce 8400M G 128MB.
Thanks in advance,
