    I'd say you're running some malware.

    Try booting into safe mode and see if your CPU is still spiking, and create a new user account and log onto that to see (some malware isn't successful in completely compromising Windows, just your current account)

    Holy crap that looks trippy. I've never seen that before. Are you on Intel or ATI graphics? Does it change anything if you switch over to the other one?
