Hi there. First, thanks for taking a moment to read about my issue.
CPU usage spikes to 100%, usually when I'm on YouTube or Netflix. With YouTube, it happens every so often. With Netflix, all the time. Usage only goes down once I close Netflix.
Using RealTemp I checked the temperature, was up from 53 to 64 at the highest when Netflix was open. This doesn't sound as bad as other people who have CPU usage spikes at 100%, they report 80+ for temperature. So I'm thinking there's some other issue. A full virus scan found nothing.
I don't have specs to post, this is a general computer problem that has a general solution, I believe. What else could be causing the spike? I did read that drivers sometimes switch to PIO instead of DMA, but that wasn't the issue either. What else could it be?
