Just gonna start off by putting PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom 9150e Quad-Core 1.8GHz
RAM: 4GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 750 Ti
System: Windows 7 64bit
Motherboard: ASRock N68C-GS4 FX
So I recently upgraded my motherboard from an 8 year old ATX to a fairly newer Micro ATX (Bought it from Newegg, who listed it as an ATX while it was obviously not) and now anytime I run basically ANY program that program takes 100% CPU Usage. Chrome, Internet Explorer, and basically any game even if I met recommended specs by a long shot. Before changing the motherboard I got a steady 40FPS on Europa Universalis IV, after I changed it the game is unplayable - It gets 1-5 FPS. Idling CPU usage is 1-5%, just any program makes it go to 100%.
Also if it helps Kernal Times have been almost maxed out anytime CPU is 100%. I've run anti-virus checks using Avast and Anti-Malwarebytes (Only had one installed at a time as I know that can cause problems sometimes) and they both came up clean. I personally think I need a new motherboard that is actually ATX this time, but I would like a more definitive answer before I just go out and buy one.
I'd appreciate any help I could get. Thanks :3
