Run this from a terminal and post the top.txt it creates here

Code:

top -n 1 -b | head -n 20 > top.txt

Run it again when the CPU% is high - from that it looks like F/F.
In future use code-tags to preserve the layout.

Just use the monitor itself then. Click the processes tab and then the %CPU column header to sort descending.
