Windows 10: CPU usage spikes down during gaming to less than 1% for that game.

I have had a gaming laptop for around 8 months now. For the first 5 months, everything was good. But 3 months ago i started getting random lag spikes that lasted around 5-10 minutes. FPS dropped to 10-30 when i was getting well over 100. Soon I decided to check task manager when the lag happens. I found that my cpu usage for that game dropped to around 1%, which is is normally around 10%. The whole laptop lags. I tried everything from updating drivers to a clean install of windows and nothing seemed to work. I got the laptop from bestbuy. It is a dell g5 se 5505. Ryzen 7 4800h, Rx5600m, 512gb

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.

 

CPU/GPU spikes while gaming


Hello,

I'm having issues playing games now due to this CPU/GPU max usage spiking while playing and it causes a lag spike.. it happens like every few seconds and it's driving me up the wall.. really not for sure where else to go with this issue.. it happens in nearly every game i play as well.

GPU: GTX 970 4gb
CPU: i7 4770k 3.50GHz
Storage: Samsung EVO 850 250gb for OS and 500gb for games
RAM:16gb
PSU:1000w

solutions I've tried..
unparking cpu, updating to latest gpu drivers, latest realtek sound and network drivers for my motherboard, latest chipset, cleaning out my pc, checking my temps.. it never goes above 70c while gaming.. both my gpu and cpu. even a clean install of Windows 10 Pro x64 bit, I've even done a clean boot and the issue is still occuring.. really at a stand still. I'm going to upload the screenshots of the in-game graph that is showing the spikes.

 

high cpu usage

After downloading windows 10, anytime I run any programs, I get high CPU usage. It does not matter whether it is google chrome, task manager, playing games, whatever. Anything seems to spike the CPU usage. I have already run malwarbytes and my antivirus
programs and find no viruses. Any suggestions? Thanks.
