High percentage use in task manager

[Josiah c-e]

So recently i have noticed significant fps drops in many games and was wondering if this was dude to unwant programs taking up cpu/disk usage etc. My fps in all my games was smooth until recently and i have no idea why. Here are some screenshots of task manager :

These show the highest usage of each section and was wondering if this is normal. Any help appreciated
Thanks

i think i will try a fresh install, it will get rid of any unwanted files and it may just sort out the problem itself. Thanks for your help

Sad thing is it didnt help, what should i try next?

reset windows completly and try your games again if this doesnt work it is either a hard drive error i highly doubt it is psu error but my. I think it is cpu or gpu because hard drive tend not to fail a lot. what is your current graphics card and how long have you had it?

when you say reset windows completely do you mean a fresh install? Also my gpu is an r7 370 that ive had for only a few months

i mean fresh install sorry but before you reset try and play your game with http/www.cpuid.com/downloads/hwmonitor/hwmonitor_1.30.exe this program running in the background a have a look at your max temps when you exit the game of your cpu package and your gpu max temp. I doubt it is gpu then

What would be your advice for what to backup when doing a fresh install, should i just go through my pc and find all the files i want to keep?

if it is really important things put them on a flash drive if you can but i would recommend not keeping anything because if you did have a stealthy virus or a bit of malware you dont want it hiding in files.

also make sure you are on the latest drivers afterwards
