Im posting this under Windows 8 thread, because I couldnt find more appriopriate place. Especially that I dont know what is causing my problem.
In general - performance of my PC has decreased sginificantly recently, and I suspect one of the recent Flash updates (however, on Win 7 - I do not experience this problem).
My CPU:
- CPU Core 2 Duo 2.5
- GPU Nvida GeForce 9600
- Enermax 425
- 4 GB Corsair
I have good cooling system, so the temperatures are not the problem (less then 50 under stress)
The biggest problem I noticed is when I play flash games. I've been playing them forever, but the problems started ~2 weeks ago. CPU usage jumps to 50-75% when the Chrome tab is active. The same happens in Firefox and IE. However, when I play in laptop (much weaker specs, but Win 7) - the CPU usage stays normal ~5%.

But I also noticed weaker performance in games. Leage of Legends for example. The strange thing is that FPS only drops in certain circumstances. I think that when lot of bright colours appear on screen. But it's only a wild guess. In ~75% of the time, FPS is high (60).
But sometimes PC solws down greatly for a moment when switching between windows. Especially with those little preview windows:

System is pretty fresh, I had to reinstall Win 8 ~4 weeks ago due to (I think) Hdd failure. PC froze and it wouldnt start. All recovery options failed. Only reinstal from CD helped.
I would appreciate support.
