Performance And Reliability Monitor total CPU usage is higher than the
combined processes.
There is something mysteriously using the CPU.
I let the computer idle down and took a snapshot so you can see all
processes running:

You will see the CPU claims to be using a total of 33%, however you will
notice there are only 2 processes with a combined usage total of 8%.
Next, I reboot my computer, let it idle down and take another snapshot:

This is the result we should expect.
I do not know what conditions must happen for this seemingly random event to
occur.
Is there something else I can do to further this investigation? Perhaps
something in systernals would give more information when this problem happens
again.
