wierd cpu usageFollow

ok was just on XIV a bit ago and was fine the whole day till recently my cpu started to go up to 60% randomly and go back down causing lag in the game but when i go to the processes it doesnt show what is causing it.
my specs are
i7 950 3.2 ghz
6gb DDR3 triple channel ram
465 gtx
asus sabertooth motherboard
windows 7 home prem

temps are fine never go above 55c and it has never happened before tonight so i dont know what it is. using core temp.

its only in XIV that this happens and i didnt see anything in the task manager

Given that its Windows 7, there are a couple things it could be. Usually they are related to the system policy cache permissions. Need to know if there are any errors in application or system in Event Viewer (under control panel Administrative tools)

It could also be video card in need of updates, overzealous antivirus programs not set to ignore ffxiv, Vmware security permissions for vmware client if that happens to be installed on your machine, or a handful of other things.
