    The CPU must be doing something all the time, even when there are no active processes. So most OS's have an idle process, all it does is track how much CPU time is being used. All the idle process is, is a loop of HALT instructions which basically halts the CPU until the next interrupt.

    So basically you have nothing to worry about. If it says its using 99 CPU, then it really is, cause you have no other active processes running. It's just something to do when you're not running anything.
