CPU Usage through the roof!

[narrowmark]

Just today I've noticed a very sluggish response from my pc. I checked the task manager and it said I was using from 5-100% of my cpu. I did all I could to see what was wrong. but it seems like anything I do uses up all my CPU. Especially using chrome like I am now.

Sorry i meant under processes check the Memory (Private Working Set) and ascend to order. If it was any process there with high amount of memory, google the process. Thats if your problem is a process. i7Baby's idea your cpu throttling due to overheating could be a cause too.

For example wmpnetwk.exe from wmp network sharing can eat a lot of memory. Might not be your case, but if you have unfinished or corrupt videos can cause a scan loop and slowly increases memory size affecting performance.

the only thing that was out of the ordinary was razer synapse and ending that process still changed nothing.
