My PC is lagging on games where it shouldn't. I lag on games like Overwatch, Rocket League, and Apex Legends. Even running these games on the lowest settings, it is not smooth. When I first built my system, I could run all these games on max settings with smooth frames, except Rocket League because I just got it... My benchmark mentioned something about high background CPU Usage, the only thing I had open at the time was chrome. I'm to the point where I'm convinced I have a virus. I already scanned for malware as well.

Anyway, here are my specs and the userbenchmark link. My drivers are all up to date.

UserBenchmarks: Game 132%, Desk 95%, Work 132%
CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K - 99.8%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080S (Super) - 135.1%
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB - 236.1%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 4TB (2017) - 73.6%
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 3200 C16 4x8GB - 95.9%
MBD: MSI MEG Z390 ACE (MS-7B12)

Thank you in advance, any suggestions are appriciated.


EDIT: After writing this I checked my CPU usage in task manager, with chrome still open, and it is under 10% load.

Looking at the motherboard info in that userbenchmark is your bios pretty old, might be good to update. The becnhmark also indicates that all parts run fine.
