Guys i am having a massive issue with my laptop where i am getting blinking icons , and spikes in my cpu usage , i have researched this on the internet , and tried fixes such as removing possible malware . Its very inconsistent and im really at a loss where its coming from , i tried to track it through my resource monitor and have come up with this. Its the closest thing to a pattern that i have found. Any ideas ?

Hello,
The screenshots don't give which application is running the CPU spikes.
You would have other views in the task manager where you can see what is going on by application or service to find which one goes up.
Regards,
Alban
