      In task manager, go to the processes tab, check the Show processes from all users, and click twice on the cpu column twice to sort on cpu usage. This may identify the process that’s hogging your CPU (s).

      You also didn’t mention what OS you’re using. I feel it’s either one of your add-ons or perhaps malware…
