I have a pretty good PC. Specs:
- Intel Core i7-6700K Processor
- Nvidia 980 TI video card
- 16 GB DDR4 RAM
- SSD with plenty of space
- good motherboard (MSI Z170A Gaming M5)
- OS: Windows 10, latest updates, multiple restarts.
I also have a Bluetooth headset connected to the PC but the problem appears even when I remove it from Devices.
When I open a tab in Google Chrome or IE, the computer starts extreme stuttering. I can move control it using the mouse but cursor is very laggy. If audio is playing either from browser or a file, it stutters too. After a few seconds, when tab is loaded fully, stuttering goes away. If I open several tabs at once, stuttering gets worse or/and longer.
When I observe CPU, Memory and Disk in Task Manager, I see a spike in CPU usage while Memory stays the same. However, CPU does not go above 60%. Ethernet is also spiking.
I've had this problem for a while but I ignored it, and just waited until web page is loaded fully but it got too annoying.
Now, what do you think could be the problem?

You say you have a good motherboard, but fail to advise which one. What ethernet chipset does it have ? I'm wondering if it has a Realtek chipset and this is causing issues ? – davidgo – 2017-07-27T04:08:27.613
Chipset is Killer E2400, MSI 7977. – user1078719 – 2017-07-27T04:37:48.560
If it's the wrong mainboard please correct it. If you're seeing 60% CPU load that would mean two (physical) cores are maxed out. Are you doing anything besides it? How many tabs do you have open? – Seth – 2017-07-27T05:40:52.643
