My CPU is overloading whenever I play a game, watch a video, or practically when I do anything.

Hey there,

So my CPU is being overloaded whenever I play games (Diablo III, Overwatch, League of Legends, etc...). It happens at random occurrences, but once it does happen it sticks around for hours and my frames drop to ~10 FPS regardless of the game. My ping is totally normal during this time (~30ms). This also includes when I do things such as watch youtube videos or run multiple applications at once.

And this link shows my task manager at the same time:

As you can see I am not running a lot at all, yet my CPU is struggling, a lot.

Things I've already tried:

• 
  Alternating the power source
  Running Malware Scans both in safe mode and regularly
  Updating Drivers
  Checking to make sure I am not running off of the integrated graphics card
  Opening my PC and ensuring all the connections are intact

I have no idea what could be causing this and am pretty fed up at this point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have a Intel Core i5-6600K processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 GPU
750W PSU
MSI 2170A Gaming M5 MOBo
and 16GB of RAM

Thank you to everyone,

Drew

Uninstall the CAM software, restart the computer.
That may actually greatly improve things.

The problem existed before I had the CAM software and persists even when it isn't running.

Running or not, it can cause problems. Try uninstalling it.

I uninstalled the CAM software, restarted my computer, and just played Diablo III as a test run. I only had 25 frames without performing any actions, and 10-15 FPS when I was actually trying to play. Thank you for the suggestion but it doesn't seemed to have helped

What drivers did you update when you did your updating drivers and how?
