The rig for reference:
Windows 10 Pro
1 Samsung M.2 NVMe 1 TB
1 SanDisk SSD 1 TB
2 Western Digital HDs 1 & 4 TBs
Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (stock @ 3700 to 4000 hz)
Corsair DDR4 16 GB (stock @ 2400 Hz)
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Black (stock settings)
EVGA 750 BQ 750 W
To start, this issue first arose after fiddling with OC settings on the RTX 2070. Had 2 BSODs caused by an HDMI audio driver crash according to the error report. I fiddled with the settings more to get a stable OC on the RTX. After this whole process I started seeing the issue come up. I know it's standard for the CPU load to spike in % depending on the kind of app being started, BUT I'm having the CPU spike to 100% some times when launching dumb things like Firefox and Windows Explorer; which then leads to my machine stuttering on simple tasks... The load spiking happens after some hours of use. I've been monitoring temperatures and the CPU is within normal ranges. At load when playing games, it goes up to maybe 64 C. So the issue doesn't seem related to temperatures. I started updating any drivers I could find thinking it might be a driver issue. I've updated the GPU drivers, Chipset drivers & the BIOS. Any clue what could be causing this?
EDIT: I reverted any and all OCs I had to stock settings to try and determine the source of the issue.
