I take very good care of my computer
really?  big_smile

no need to be so condescending.

I figured it out. arveru.exe would not show up in the task manager, instead the application avir.tune would show to hog my system resources.
Following that to the map of Avira, which had 2 .exes; one of which was arveru.exe

A quick search online turns out it is freeware called Avira system speedup. Not sure if it is that specific program, or simply disguising as it.

In any case, I have no idea how that made its way into my computer as I have never downloaded it, nor would I ever trust any programs that promise to 'speed up' my pc.
After deleting the folder, my cpu usage in 1080p seemed to be back to normal.

So far, I seem to have fixed it. I will report again when I have confirmation all is back to normal.

That's good! Congratulations!

Re: CPU reaches 100% in 1G

after some testing, cpu usage seems to be around 55% at 4G. I reckon I can even go to 5G without any detriment.
