Windows 10: CPU Spikes to 60% doing simple tasks like opening a new tab

I recently got a new laptop, an ASUS K501L running Windows 10, I previously owned a Mac and haven't used Windows since XP so I feel somewhat lost here. I've noticed that whenever I open a new tab ((or any new window, or click on a link etc) in Chrome (or Firefox, or Edge for that matter) my fan will start whirring very loudly. I checked taskmanager to see what's going and, I noticed that if I open a new tab my CPU will jump as high as 60%. This happens non-stop, I can just navigate to any plain subreddit and my CPU will go nuts for a second and my fan will go very loud and then be quiet again. It's very strange, for instance if I watch a high definition video my fan is not very loud, but opening the link causes my computer to freak out.

Please can anyone help? I have tried to research this problem extensively, is it possible that the issue is caused by the fact that I have 2 graphics drivers? When I navigate to display adapters in Device Manager I see that I have two: Nvidia card and an Intel Graphics card.

Also my computer recently crashed and gave me a kernel security error it reset, and has worked, I tried opening the .dmp file based on instructions I read here but when I tried to open the document all I saw was a font I couldn't recognize (virtually no english words).

Things I've tried: Uninstalled McAfee (came pre-installed).
I turned off all notification settings, through notification settings I read that that some how the "Show me tips about windows" could be causing issues.
I've turned of startup programs that I didn't need.
I've checked to make sure video drivers are updated (by going to drivers in device manager and checking for updates).
I've made sure Windows is up to date.


I've read that drivers could be the issue? Is it possible to further investigate if this might be the issue?I'm not totally sure how to diagnose the problem even, or point me to where I can learn more about Windows10/about this stuff so I can figure it out. I've tried googling aro

Windows 10 crashing on new pc build

I typically do the same stuff everyday on my PC, I use the Unity Engine regularly (for games development) and close it when i want to play a game...

I've noticed that when my brother uses my PC and runs this application the CPU usage spikes to like 60% for this one application, could this be the problem? I have sometimes left it open in the background whilst doing my own thing..

Also a new graphics card driver is available, should i update? always too scared to incase something goes wrong

 

Cpu spike and desktop/taskbar refresh every 60 seconds

I just updated to the new windows 10 and had issues at first where i couldn't use Cortanna or the windows button (Both have been resolved), but it seems now every 60 seconds my desktop refreshes and my cpu spikes above 70%(Normal usage is 4% which doesn't
explain why normal processes spike a bit) . I looked at possible processes in the taskbar that might have caused this but found that my processes(around 16% at spike 2 normal) and my users(around 12% at spike 1.5% normal) intertwined cpu usage didn't even
create 30% of it. Is there another place to look for cpu usage or is there a way to fix this problem. Please reply.
