CPU Usage jumps up to 100% in games then back to normal for a few seconds.

I have had this problem for 3 weeks now. I thought that it was my cpu temp going to high(it went up to 100 celcius). So i bought a watercooling system and now the temp is 60 celcius in game.

So i know it isnt my cpu temp.

My specs:

CPU: Intel Core I7 4790K 4.00 GHz 8MB Cache SKT 1150
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 980 Graphics Card - 4GB
PSU: 750W
Board: Gigabyte H97 Gaming3 ATX Gaming Motherboard
HardDrive: WD Blue 1TB Internal Hard Drive

If you mean that when you launch a game, it goes to 100% for a second and then goes back to normal, then I wouldn't worry about it. The same thing happens with task manager, when you open task manager you can see the CPU usage spikes up substantially and drops back down.

Could be some bad reg settings. I suggest running advanced system care to clean up your windows install. Also you can shut down unused services to that could be taking your cpu performance.

Ok so I tried that program(http://www.iobit.com/en/advancedsystemcarefree.php) and i cleaned pc and everything, But i think i gave you guys not enough info.
So what happens is. I play a game, anygame, and suddenly my cpu usage goes to 100% nad my fps goes to 0.0fps.

You may have a virus or program taking all your performance. Hit control alt delete and check your process while its occuring. If there isn't any then I suggest using Avast boot scan to check for virus. It takes a good while so maybe run it over night.
