so i recently received my lenovo y50 its has 8 gigs of ram and about 47% of that is used while on the desktop also whenever i open up chrome or explorer the cpu spikes to 100% its not much of a problem its just that this is a brand new computer it has an i7 4 core processor at 2.50 ghz's and it shouldn't spike to 100% also it only recently started doing this.
brand new computer cpu spikes.

Guys,
Spikes to 100% CPU usage are normal during Windows startup, and for several minutes after while applications, processes and services are still being executed.
Subsequently, whenever an application or game is opened, it's normal for CPU usage to momentarily spike, sometimes to 100%, depending on workload, threading and core tasking.
If you're running an SSD, then this all takes place in a relatively shorter time. If you're running an HDD, then it will take longer.
Also, processor temperatures respond instantly (within 256 milliseconds) to changes in load, and can momentarily spike to very high core temperatures.
All quite normal.

My computer does that too. I think it's just because it's loading all of your stuff and it's not really at 100%. It just thinks it is
