Random computer lag

Lag issues, please help!

Random lag when using computer. Sometimes my mouse would freeze for a couple seconds, then jump across the screen. If I open something like the Task Manager and click on a tab, it would freeze for a moment then open the tab.

Mouse skipping/general lag never happens when I am playing games (BF1, Civ5, Starcraft 2). It just happens when I am just browsing the web, working through my Excel spread sheets, etc.

The lag happens at random intervals and lasts only a couple seconds. It happens most frequently when I am performing an action (e.g. opening Task Manager, switching to a new Excel sheet, opening a new Chrome tab). However, it also happens at random when I am just moving my mouse across the screen.

 

My rig:

Mobo - MSI Extreme Gaming X99A SLI Plus

CPU - i7-6800k overclocked to 4.2

CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-U15

GPU - EVGA GTX 1080 SC

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4 3200 mhz

Storage - 512 GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD

PSU - EVGA Supernova 850 G2

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

 

I tried everything I could find online including...

-Disabling mouse acceleration

-Switching out my mouse to a new one

-turning off Cortana

-Disabling DisplayFusion

-Updated drivers/reinstalled mouse drivers

-Ran anti-virus scans

-Turned off the Windows 10 Peer-to-peer update

 

Any tips on resolving this?

Thanks!

Sometimes a simple restart can fix those things. I only suggest it because I didn't see it in the post.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah i tried restarting it and no luck. It's been happening for a few weeks

This does happen to me once in a while and what I've notice is that my HDD light indicator lights up like crazy. I haven't found a fix yet but only happens when I'm browsing the web using MS Edge. never happens when I'm gaming or anything intensive.
