I'm at my wit's end. I've been through constant topics on this forum and other's, and I can't quite seem to get an answer.
Recently, I've had high CPU and memory usage for -everything.- Especially noticeable when gaming, of course, but it's even high when opening something like the task manager itself.
I've had trouble getting stable FPS on simple games that were a breeze for my PC to handle before, such as overwatch. This is not exclusive to that game, however, as even things like chrome, my radeon settings window, ETC. Are causing my CPU usage to skyrocket. I'm sitting at ~25% just by having steam open.
I should mention I recently messed with the "virtual memory" options, but have since set it back to being set by the system itself.
Sorry for the rambling, but as I said, I am absolutely at my wit's end. I'm aware of how many different problems this could be, but any suggestions at all could help.
I'm running:
AMD athlon x4 860k
2x4gb RAM
Windows 8.1
Radeon RX 580
