Disable the ASUS ACPI Center
The ASUS ACPI Center is a program on your computer with the file name of "aacenter.exe." ACPI is an acronym for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The program controls communication for the power needs of your computer's hardware and software. But this process has been known to consume a lot of processing power or central processing unit cycles when it is operating, making your system run slow.
