    CoolDude,
    It's time for you to fully fluff out those system specs and here is how:
    Update your SevenForums System Specs
    User CP (3rd item in the top menu bar) |
    Your Profile | Edit System Spec
    (left-hand column)

    To gather info, use SIW or Speccy or System Info

    Add the word laptop or desktop or netbook to the
    “system manufacturer” block, for example,
    Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

    Provide full windows version info, for example:
    MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

    Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
    Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

    Scroll down and click on the SAVE CHANGES button.

    Firefox is the very latest version, I may just totally uninstall it. See what happens then.

    I've turned on the action center as well.

    by using either Speccy or SIW you can really expand that info.

    Do you use the WOT extension, if so then disable and see if your FF usage drops.

    Okay system specs have been updated.

    And no I don't use any extensions at all, I also only have one plug-in which is the flash plug-in.

    I ran the CCleaner, still got the same weird problem.

    You can leave FireFox installed, but switch to using Internet Explorer and see how your cpu usage runs.

    RESMON's CPU tab will show what is using what % of cpu time.

    Just used the resmon and it's all over the place but I took a screenshot of one of the moments, lots of things take turns going up really high.

    Also, using a different browser doesn't help. Chrome behaves the exact same way, which is weird. It never did this before, so I don't know whats going on.

    I know it's a software problem because the system recovery fixed it for a while, ugh

    It's just running extremely high considering how good it was a while back. The laptop is by no means bad either, it's more than capable at running a few programs.
