when I use my computer, starting programs or even using normally the browser, sometimes the computer goes slow, unresponsive. now, I installed the AMD system monitor, since I have a AMD GPU it's useful to monitor not only processor and ram, but GPU too.
now, using browser, starting a program or something else makes all my 4 processor cores fly to 100% usage.
I have a i5 1.6Ghz with turbo boost, up to 2.6.
here, it tells me the ammount of usage each core is having. the speed varies, always jumping around, but never going further than 1800Mhz and less than 1500MHz. most of the time it stays fixed on 1800MHz.
I don't know what's wrong, I have FPS drops, usually would play games with an average 100FPS, now getting 50 is a miracle, sometimes I am forced to play with 10 FPS on online games. I am thinking it's because of this situation of the cores going 100% usage.
so, I am trying to understand if it's normal that when you open programs or use a program if it's normal that all cores can have - even just for a second - 100% usage.
here is a recording of AMD system monitor. during this time all the 4 cores went till 100% at least one time:

as you can see here, the cores stayed at 100% for 7 seconds. I think this is what is making my computer to have low FPS and performance, being it on games or not.
meanwhile, I will go play a game to see if AMD system monitor responds to AMD GPU, so that I can know if it's working well.
anyone has any idea of all this?
