Recently I have noticed a few FPS drops in games that my PC could otherwise run flawlessly. I checked a couple things like my drivers etc before noticing that my CPU usage with nothing open/running jumps between 70-90%. This was normally about 20% max. I thought this may have something to do with a background process so i tried selective startup and disabled any non essential processes yet the problem was still there. I did however notice that by disabling all services in the system config menu and restarting, the idle usage was back down to 1-20%. I assume this means I have an issue with one of the windows services as I tried to boot with only the windows services enabled and still had the issue.
Aside from that I have tried reapplying thermal paste and using a different case and fan with no luck.
As you can probably tell I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for but that was just something I noticed. Any help would be useful.
