Question Task Manager Background Processes

[checott]

Hi all

When I go into task manager it says there are 68 background processes and 91 windows processes running. Is this normal? I want to keep my cpu temp as low as possible and was told to check my task manager, so I did and all of these showed up. Am I able to stop them or will it seriously screw up things?

Here is a screenshot for an example of whats running
