Across the top you can choose different parameters to look at.
Start with CPU. When the list populates click %CPU to sort by descending order. (If you get 0's click again)
See which processes are hogging the CPU. For instance if you were running Chrome and had a run away process you would see Google Chrome Helper at the top.
Any process you see running consistently above 30-50% is problematic. Spiking for a second is not an issue, it's being pegged at a high value that indicates a problem.
