I've been pulling my hair out of the weirdest issue for the past five months.
I just built a custom PC earlier this year and was using Windows 8.1 for a while and decided to switch over to Windows 7.
In doing this I've been having a really bad issue with my CPU maxing out at 100% for a second or two and my entire system freezing when this happens.
I ran virus scans to see if there might be a virus, did a memory check to see if I had a bad stick of RAM, checked to see if my OS drive was failing in some way. I went as far as to do a fresh install of Windows. Everything I've tried hasn't solved the problem and I'm losing my mind over this issue.
Specs: Windows 7 Pro 64x
Intel i7 4790K (OC'd) 4.2Ghz
MSi Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
16GB Kingston 1866 MHz RAM
MSi GTX 960
Corsair RM650 Power Supply
