Can you ever see what process is causing the spike; it should say if you watch, if only briefly
according to what i have seen it says interrupts
Ok, IF it's interrupts it sounds like 'some' driver. But determining which one will take trial and error.
You can also try DPC Latency Checker and LatencyMon since they 'may' be able to help to pinpoint the driver.
If you know what you're doing, you can disable most of the non-essential drivers (start with sound since that's safe to disable and I've seen bad sound drivers causing spikes before). You can disable devices in DeviceManager or in the BIOS. For sound I would disable it in the BIOS.
Other things you can try (in no particular order):
- plug out everything except the keyboard (PS/2 would be preferred over USB if you have the option)
- use only USB2 devices and disable USB3
- disable any un-needed devices like serial etc. in the BIOS.
PS. My bad for thinking PGN caused some kind of quality loss. Was imageshack all along...

I hope it gets sorted.
It must have cost thousands. What are you planning on doing with it?

well all together with the 3 monitors it was 7k and im going to do anything and everything with it
Sandy Bridge E and 32Gb plus 2x690s! You could probably run your local hospital on that.
From the look of the graphs it's just normal use. Seeing a couple of cores ramp up is nothing to really worry about unless the whole machine locks solid for a few seconds and responds to nothing.

It all locks up and it will lockup for like 5 mins it varies each time it's really annoying its basically in useable
Try updating all the motherboard drivers: http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_2011/Rampage_IV_Extreme/#download
format that bad boy and start from 0
install only drivers from the supported sites so there upto date then run some stress testing stuff with nothing other that the core programs installed
i would start with ram if it locking up it can be a weak stick.
