High CPU on Mac when Windows is idle

I'm running a Windows 8 VM on Parallels 8 with 2 vCPU and 4096 vRAM. When Windows is not doing anything, Parallels is consuming a ton of CPU on my MacBook. As a result, the MacBook heats up to 70+ degrees Celsius.

I've attached a screenshot showing task manager and activity monitor. I also did the Parallels Report a Problem with ID # 33555450.

Any help would be appreciated.
