Processor/Memory problems

[Chinoman]

Is it common for a CPU to go into 30-40% load when you aren't even doing anything? I thought this was very strange. Also, when I tried to start up Counter Strike: Source, it gives me a memory error and crashes. Any conclusions on what this can be?

Run Memtest overnight.

What do I do if the test gives negative results?

RMA the RAM.
