CPU usage jumping up to 20%

[saiko017]

In resource monitor, system interrupts jumps from 15 to 22% usage like every 3 seconds. Since i already had razer game booster installed, i was told to use the diagnose option it has. And to fix any error that it shows in the event log, which should fix my problem... But i have no idea what any of this stuff means let alone know how to begin to fix any of it. So any help would be much appreciated.

here is some info i found that may be important.

http://processchecker.com/file/nvCplUI.exe.html

Description: nvCplUI.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. Known file sizes on Windows 7/XP are 794,624 bytes (50% of all occurrences), 753,664 bytes or 801,312 bytes.
The program is not visible. The file is not a Windows system file. NvCplUI.exe is an unknown file in the Windows folder. nvCplUI.exe is able to record inputs. Therefore the technical security rating is 48% dangerous, however also read the users reviews.
If you run into problems with nvCplUI.exe, you may also uninstall NVIDIA nTune software

Windows Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7/Vista).

Important: Some malware camouflages itself as nvCplUI.exe, particularly when located in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder.

Have you run a complete virus/malware scan? I would start there. Then maybe uninstall nvidea drivers and programs and reinstall fresh.

 

[carnageX]

It's pointing towards your nVIdia drivers. Go to World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies | NVIDIA and get the newest drivers for your graphics card.

When you run it, pick "Custom installation" and then check the box that says "Clean installation" and it will uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones, to help get rid of any possible issues.

If that doesn't work then try a clean boot & see if the same is happening or not.

Have had internet issues for like the last week... so sorry for not replying
Running a clean installation for my nvidia drivers did not fix the cpu issue sadly :/
After searching up all the errors i think the issue was coming from

1202 - Source : WinMgmt
1203 - Description : Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

a good amount of people reported similar cpu spikes & that same event log error... which appear after using registry cleaners a lot... and i used CCleaner registry cleaner like weekly for a year or two... :/

anyway I'm buying a new pc soon, so just going to wipe this pc clean & install windows back...so will probably just use this as a secondary
But thanks for all the help guys
