So it seems my cpu is bottlenecking at random times and I can't really figure out why. This is an example of what happens when I try to open Chrome

The huge spike is while Chrome was still open. I know Chrome is supposed to be a huge ram eater and stuff, but this seems a little ridiculous. It causes other programs to lock up too. This doesn't usually happen with Chrome, but with intense games like gta 5 it's much more common. The fps sometimes dips and the pause menu acts jumpy, etc. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to correct this. Also, here's my rig:
Motherboard- MSI Z87-G41
GPU- Geforce GTX 970 FTW w/ 4gb GDDR5
CPU- Intel 4570 (not K)
Memory- 8gb DDR3
By the way, my RAM usage seems to stay at a constant 32% while using Chrome.
 


Well I reinstalled Chrome like you said and scanned my whole SSD where chrome is located, and to my surprise avast found something! It was in the recycle bin, and avast moved it to chest. Thanks a lot!
