MySQL using all CPU resources - clean install

v3
#1

So having fixed the phpmyadmin issue i left the server idle for a day.
Then i observed this spike:

Accessing MySQL and running “SHOW PROCESSLIST;” gives no results.
The server is CLEAN, it is only running Easy Engine and a single website, which is offline (dns not updated).

MySQL keeps spiking like this until i restart it.
After the spike another process shows heavy load, “watchdog”

I’ve added 4 GB of SWAP with a swappiness of 10, but i can’t see how this should affect anything.

Any ideas on the reason for this?
The server is total idle, no visits, nothing. And mysql spikes in load repeatedly…
