CPU Spikes to 100% - Everything freezes up for about 10-30 seconds

First things first, is your PSU strong enough to support your hardware?

Do you know what process is causing this?

Okay I'll tell you what we're going to do. I'm personally really bad with hardware but I will give you a checkup for malware and if there is none I'm going to send you to our hardware troubleshooting forum.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click FRST to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.

  • Please copy and paste log to Pastebin.com and post the link here.

  • The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.

Everything seems to be in order, there's just one thing I want to check.
Please upload this file to VirusTotal and give me the scan result: C:\Windows\System32\LogonDll.dll

You mean logoncli.dll? There was no LogonDll.dll in that folder.

Everything seems to be in order then. I'm going to send you over to the Computer Overclocking, Customizing, and Hardware forum now, you can make a new thread there.
