Computer slow for no reason.

Alright, so heres my problem. My computer went from beast mode to turtle mode. It took me like 5 min to even log in to make this topic. My cpu usage is sky high with a 90-100% usage and even when it goes down to 1% my computer is still super slow. 

 

Screenshot: http://prntscr.com/7x7tzd

 

So how it happened: I was just playing gta 5 when I got serious frame drops so I decided to install razer game booster and things went smooth from there. After that I went on youtube and tried watching a video in 1080p 60fps and was getting stutters and freezes, so I checked my cpu usage and it was on 90%... I've uninstalled razer game booster (not sure if razer gb was the problem) and my computer is soooo slow. I've been removing start up programs, ending a bunch of processes, cleaning my registry, cleaning my harddrives.... 

 

I need help :cccccccccccc

 

(New to this forum so if I've done something wrong or missed something, excuse me.)

Go to a restore point previous to install Razer Game Booster?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Scan your system for malware using MalwareBytes. You may need to boot into Safe Mode with Networking to do it.

Go to task manager, under processes, and check out what is using your CPU.

Grab a screenshot or something and show/tell us what it is.

Check the box for "Show processes from all users".

 

Why do people insist on using uTorrent for Torrenting... :(

You might want to back everything important up and then reinstall Windows.
