PC slows down, specifically can tell on Youtube/Twitch. Help :[

[Saven Patel]

My PC begins to slow down at random times, I can tell in some games as well when I have Spotify open and the song is changing. I've had my computer for awhile and it never had this problem before until Windows 10. I went from Windows 7 to 10 with a fresh install. I see the slow down and (kinda) robotic sounds coming from Youtube videos and Twitch streams specifically since it's easy to replicate.

At this time, I'm running scans from this guide : http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-1691891/removing-malware-proven-completely-remove-bitcoin-mining-malware.html , and also I have Bitdefender and MalwareBytes installed.

I really need help. D: I tried researching before making a post, but I'm out of ideas and doing a complete reinstall of Windows 10 again would be pretty annoying. Any ideas friends?

Thanks for any and all help! <3333

EDIT: Also noticed that when I open up my Task Manager my CPU spikes super high and then go back to "normal", I don't know if this would help in any way.

Mine does that every time i open task manager. The spike is caused by you opening task manager


anyway, have you got the latest drivers for your motherboard and GPU?

Speaking of Bitdefender, it can slow down Youtube if set wrongly: https://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=208ed90965c77114bb31bdaeaad292bd&showtopic=57365
