CPU usage jumps to 50% when moving cursor around.
Good day everyone,
I would just like to mention that this beautiful machine of mine is 5-6 years old, so I'd understand if it's beyond repair, but I'd like to see if this problem could be fixed anyway.
For quite a while now, I've been experiencing some frame rate lag, whoever, it only lags whenever there's movement (For example, if flying a plane in a video game, I would experience screen tearing, but would be fine if I would just be sitting there with the plane doing nothing.)
I would be experiencing the same thing while watching videos, once again lagging whenever there would be movement, but would be fine if it was just some dude talking for example. Also, while watching a video on youtube, it would sometimes jump to 60% CPU usage, but would stay around 25-30% usage most of the time while the video is playing.
And just moving the cursor around makes the CPU usage jump to 50%. When idle, it's stays around 5-8%. Is this normal?
Would all of these be caused by a faulty CPU, or is it just the fact that the computer is slowly dieing of old age?
Thank you so much in advance for the help, and hope you guys had a merry Christmas and a happy new year. :P
