Every once in awhile when a new windows update occurs, i get a cpu spike when i try playing a game and it minimizes but i can still hear the sound of the game( like left 4 dead beginning movie). If anyone needs anymore info and can give me any help with this it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe do a teamviewer session or something? My xfire is excon88 if you want to contact me

Every once in awhile when a new windows update occurs

Normally, it happens only once a month, so what kind of updates are those?
