For a period of time, the usage would spike and temporary freezes my computer (sometimes for as much as a minute). It would happen a few times, and if I'm lucky, that's the end of it (until the next boot up), but if not, it'll work fine for a few hours and then randomly start freezing again. I tried to catch what's hogging up all the resources, but it either doesn't show or I miss it (like if I'm playing a game, after it freezes and I alt tab, I see in the history there was a spike, but no idea what caused it). A few times I've seen systems (under image name in processes), go up to 50 under cpu usage.

Um...not sure what else to say, if anyone thinks they can help and need more info I'll be happy to supply it.

Here's what I have:
