AMD FX-6300 Lag spikes & high usage

[xSnowLeopardx]

Hello Tom's Hardware,

My CPU has been acting strange for the last 3 months and I could not fix it on my own..
Every time when I boot up my PC, login and want to open Google Chrome or something else (doesn't matter what, but let's try Google Chrome). I can open google.com but when I open other tabs or want to open My Documents, everthing hangs and I can't do anything!

It lasts 20 sec and when it's done, I can go on with my stuff, but 3 mins later: the same thing..

It's affecting me with games too, giving me 100+ ms response time in League of Legends..
My CPU was overclocked at 3.8 GHZ, so I removed the OC and had the stock 3.5 GHZ but it didn't help..

What to do? Task manager gave some high % but I couldn't seem to find a program or such that was the victim..


Please help!

EDIT: I tried re-installing Windows 10 but same results..
Maybe it's my amount of wattage?

I have:

550watt PSU
AMD FX-6300 @3.7Ghz
Gigabyte GTX 970
16 GB RAM @1866MHz

Does my PSU or maybe my CPU bottleneck my system?

see what is using the CPU in task manager then shutdown the service/program
check for virus/malware too

sounds like you have storage lag

buy a cheap 120gb SSD for $50 and run that as your main OS drive; also clear cache in Chrome

I have a SSD as main OS drive and cleared my Chrome cache several times..
But thanks

Checked several times for malware/virus
And I can't open the task bar when the cpu spikes.. I can't seem to find the process (if it's a process at all..)

start pc and immediately run task manager and put it in the process tab and keep it on a visible sight
then run the normal stuff and keep an eye on the task manager
