Guile, what what cause the extreme overload on my processor ? A burnt out motherboard would show other symptoms I would think... This processor is acting like it is a 400 mhz processor overclocked to run at 4Gig .... Non stop 20 - now 90% usage

spyware? excessive swapping? If its a recent CPU, they slow down when under excessive heat... so maybe the contact to your heatsink is not as good as it was, or one of your fans died.
but this isnt a car.... a cpu doesnt work bad... it works or it doesnt...If it didnt work right, it wouldnt become slow, it would be unstable.
