Hello.
I upgraded my computer a couple weeks ago. Got a new motherboard, a processor, and some more RAM. The first two days it worked perfectly. For example, before the upgrade, I could only play League of Legends at the lowest settings, and I only had about 30 fps at most. But now I could play at max settings, getting 120 (althought I capped them at 60). But after these two days I started getting random FPS drops. Every 5 minutes or so FPS went from 60 to 5-7. This lasted for about 2 minutes. Then back to 60. I tried lowering settings, capping fps at 25, but it was the same. This happens with every game I play. Took me some time to realize that I was getting 100% CPU Ussage, and that's what was causing the drops. So I played a game in windowed mode and opened task manager and resource monitor. It's completely random. No process/service uses more CPU. They use the same percentage of CPU, regardless of my current fps, but the ussage goes up to 100% for no apparent reason. Also, occasionally I get this 100% Ussage when watching videos or even idle, but that doesn't happen half as often as when playing.
My temps are normal. When I upgraded it I also cleaned it up and put new termal paste on my graphic card.
I play on 1440x900, my monitor's native resolution. My specs are the following:
OS -> Windows 7 64-bits
Motherboard -> MSI G41M-P33 Combo
Processor -> Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40GHz
RAM -> 4GB
Graphic Card -> NVIDIA GeForce GT 440
