Massive computer lag

So when I had this lag on my laptop, i found it so unbearable I reinstalled windows altogether. First, i only noticed it on chrome, but then I realized my laptop was lagging just in general. My CPU is often 40+ when this happens,

After reinstalling, i still found I couldn't play GTA 3 whereas I could play Assassins creed 3 maxed out just before this all happened. Chrome still lagged horribly, sometimes chrome task manager attributed this to flash, but more commonly just "browser", using about 30 cpu + . When i reset chrome, it's super fast for a few seconds, before reverting, even though I don't touch anything. I can't make it through a 3 minute video

My video games have random fluctuations too, Saints row 3 will play insanely fast, then be super slow. I've checked for viruses using Malwarebytes, SUPERantispyware, and 360 total security, got a few viruses and cookies the first few times, now scans show nothing, no improvement in performance.

I realized I hadn't updated Windows after reinstalling, so I tried that, it was superfast for a while, but then slowed down after rebooting. I'm still checking for more updates every few hours, nothings shown up yet today,

System Specs:

OS: Windows 8.1 pro
Processor: Intel core i5 CPU M540 @ 2.53 GHz
RAM: 4 gb
Graphics card: Nvidia NVS 5100m

Help me out guys! This is my first question on this website, but the website has helped me out countless times before.
 
This shows task manager while using chrome, while idle, and while playing video games. They were all lagging, even task manager (though it showed cpu usage at 3%) and I could push the cpu usage up to 25% just by scrolling

UPDATE: It isn't a browser problem, installed different browsers, uninstalled chrome, same results on all of them
