Another possibility is that the system is overheating when Turbo Boost
is enabled. In this case it protects itself by throttling back the core
frequencies to a very low value (it may use other means too, like
lowering the system buses frequencies, halting the cores periodically,
...). This would explain the high loads.
If the system switches back and forth between normal loads and huge
loads and you can link that to CPU package temperature (and/or very low
CPU core frequencies), this is probably the cause. If the ambient
temperature isn't a problem (below 25?C any system should be fine and
most can tolerate 30?C or more) then you have an internal cooling problem.

Best regards,
