I've been having this problem for a while, and now I'm starting to get fed up..
So basically, my CPU usage when using web browsers is insanely high. On average it will take up to 20-30% and it will spike as high as 90%! I do not know what would be causing this. It gets so high that my entire computer will begin to slow down, audio will become choppy or even distorted, pretty much everything slows down. (Keep in mind, this is a PC that can run games like BF4 and Crysis 3 with no problems!)
My CPU is an Intel core i7 3820 clocked at 3.6 GHz. Hyper threading is enabled. I've used multiple different web browsers (FireFox, Chrome, IE, Opera, Maxthon) and they all yield the same results. I'm not sure if this is an issue with flash player, or if my CPU is going bad or what. If my CPU was going bad though, I would think that my games would be very much impacted by my CPU usage spiking (when gaming my CPU runs normally and the game performs like a charm.) This problem has been plagueing me for months and after no fixes found, I've decided to come here in hopes that somebody can try to shed some light on the subject. I've done malware scans, virus scans, cache clearing, registry repairs, updating drivers and software, pretty much everything I can think of.
Has anyone ever heard of this issue before? If so, is there a way to fix it or do I just have to live with it?
