Windows 10: Browser Window Goes Black and Hangs. CPU Usage Spikes

I have an intermittent issue on Windows 10 where sometimes the browser window goes black and hangs completely that is, the window itself turns completely black, but the rest of the machine is still responsive. When this happens, the CPU fan spins up to max speed, and I can see in the Task Manager that the CPU usage of the process spikes from around 3% up to about 20%. I have seen this happen with Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Firefox. I have not seen the problem occur with any other application.



The problem seems to occur on certain sites. I have seen it happen repeatedly on Amazon and Facebook.


I have already done Windows Update and checked for driver updates for this laptop.

Audiodg.exe Spikes Cpu Usage

Every 5 minutes or so audiodg.exe spikes my cpu usage to about 50% and any audio im playing cuts out and then comes back a second or 2 later. The video is completely fine and it's not a problem with
my USB Headset. audiodg.exe stays at low cpu usage when it's not spiking.

Solutions I've tried:

1. turning off audio enhancements
2. reinstalling lan, and audio drivers
3. turning off HPET
4. lowering the sound quality in control panel
5. DPC Latency checker (no change when spiking)

None of these solutions work. Please help.

 

Spikes in CPU usage

Hi,

In my current version of windows, I can see random spikes in CPU usage. This happens even when the device is not being used. I can see CPU % on my Rainmeter skin go from 1% to 17%. Any fixes?

I have an ASUS S550CM

Intel i5 1.7 GHz

8 GB RAM

Nvidia GT 635M

 

Explorer constantly spiking CPU usage for Win 10

Hi. Thank you for your answer. I tried all your suggestions, but nothing helped.

Clean bot seems helped at first but no after some hours spikes came back and now spiking more often with every hour of PC working.

Same happened also without clean boot.

Any other suggestions what to try ?

Just to let you know that I worked with Win 7 before with even more programs installed than now and I did not switched off my PC for weeks and CPU usage was lower in general not to talk about any spikes in CPU, newer noticed anything like that...

Thanks
