1 core out of 6 maxed out when PC Idle

No, nothing like that. The problem is, it lasted for a whole night when I left it once and Task Manager says, that no task is taking any resources. 

 

Edit: I remembered that I OC'd RAM recently, as they are rated on 3000mHz but never actually could get them there. Now when I put them on 2133 they work fine, PC behaves as it should... 

I think I need a new RAM. Or MOBO. Or both.

Hi guys!

I have a massive problem which I can't really figure out. 

2 days ago, I was watching youtube when it started to get laggy as hell and all together miserable. After that, I checked what's up as usual (Task manager) and got 99% at core 3. Funny thing, only the Chrome was opened, nothing else. Never had that before. Got BSOD after that and that's it. PC restarted, and after ~30 seconds after boot to windows, it started again. It took core 1 now. Decided, to hell with that, I need to format system anyways as last time I did that was like 2 years ago, went for it. For around 20 minutes was fine, installed chrome, lightshot, MSI Afterburner and HWiNFO64. It came back.

I have all of those programs from their official websites, had them on pc for over a year before it all started, and didn't do anything else with PC in the meantime, except playing games and watching youtube. 

 

Got any ideas?

Edit: Forgot to add, CCcleaner - no issues, Windows Defender, full scan - no issues. It's PROBABLY not a virus.

just check what process is hogging resources? My guess is Windows Antimalware Executable, i.e. Windows Defender
