The CPU temp is 95, so I don't think it's that. It will run pretty good sometimes and then other times it runs slow. Do you think that it could possibly be the harddive? Because my harddrive seems to be humming really loud.
Thanks,

What's the best way to test the motherboard to check and see if it's bad?

There is a system idle process that runs about 80 to 90% of my CPU almost all the time.

Do you mean 95°C? That seems not ok to me. My CPU has 28°C on idle and 52°C on ramming speed. Btw, an idle process with 90% is ok. The idle process colltects the time the cpu is idle.

could it be my cpu? I went from a 2.4 ghz to 3.0 cpu. All the websites that I looked at say the motherboard will support 1.4 to 2.2+

"System Idle Process" is the process windows schedules when it has nothing else to do - it means your system is idle
. So the higher "CPU usage" this special pseudo-process has, the better (the less your system has to do).
40c/28c idle temperatures are fine, nothing to worry about.

Junglerooster, what type of CPU is yours? maybe the motherboard needs some new drivers to adjust to the cpu.. just my 2¢.
