I’m experiencing significant difficulties with my computer’s performance in recent days, manifesting as intermittent frame rate fluctuations and noticeable lag periods, frequently resulting in frames falling below sixty. I recently conducted tests which indicated that my central processing unit’s utilization remained consistently at 50% while I was engaged in gaming. Considering this, what steps could I take to enhance CPU efficiency and consequently boost my frame rate, potentially resolving these disruptive spikes?

Recently, this has been a persistent concern for me. Unfortunately, simply restarting the system fails to resolve it.
