What is it?

Besides the lack of what this machine is, OS and more you should tell more about the idle.

When a PC goes idle, there is no screen showing. No mouse cursor, nothing. The symptoms you describe are not "idle."

Sounds like the machine is infected but you might have more clues to share.

while using web or playing games usage of your CPU might be high so, thats the reason for idlesness of your computer.you can play games through trying quality graphics card for your desktop.
