High CPU when I do anything, searched for months with no solution.
I have no idea why its happening or how to fix the problem I am having. My computer majority of the time sits at or very close to 100% CPU usage to the point of not being able to do anything. I have had this problem for months but lately it has gotten worse. It will run low CPU until I do something, I have read about people saying it will spike then drop back down...well mine doesnt drop back down, just talking on skype uses usually 30-80% which can't be normal since i cant do anything besides talk on skype while its spiking. Another thing is that it will run perfect sometimes, then it will spike randomly and stay there for the rest of the day or few days. I have searched all over the web and I haven't found a single solution to my problem. I have tried everything I can think of Including, Scanning for viruses and malware, Disabling all startup programs in msconfig, power cycling my tower, Reformatting about 3 times, Disabling everything that uses and a significant amount of CPU power. To no avail nothing has been fixed, I'm pretty tech savvy so any questions or requests for information just tell me. Thanks
