How much ram are you running?
BF3 slaughters system ram, even at 4gb you will lose performance , go for 8gb and you will see a big difference.

He just encountered the problem a few days ago though.

I would have to agree that it's probably an additional program. If you encounter it again just do the good 'ol CTRL+Shift+ Esc and see what's chewin up your system resources.

Do the usual anti-virus, malware, etc FULL scans.

If nothing found try a combination of Task Manager, Process Monitor( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb89664... ) and Process Explorer( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb89665... ). Hopefully task manager should pinpoint it alone. Either way, you should be able to pinpoint the culprit/s. Come back here if you need more info.

Your 2500k @ 4.2 should kick ass & not be the root cause :) 

Thanks for all the help guys , The problem seems to be just with the multiplayer aspect of battlefield3 , no other games react in such a way. As for the high percentage for browsing these seemed to come from EA's Origin (used to run Battlefield 3 ) so im just going to steer clear of them for the time being
