    Games take up 100% of the CPU

    As I said in my OP, it's the app that's running in the foreground. I believe the issue is with my motherboard.

    Games take up 100% of the CPU

    In the last few days I have noticed very poor performance from my CPU. Games I used to be able to run smoothly are now lagging and when I looked into the task manager, I noticed than anything that is running in the forefront take up more CPU usage than is normal. If I run a game, it immediately...

    Windows 10 Logon UI not there

    Ok, I restored ownership to TrustedInstaller by going to change the owner an putting in "nt service\TrustedInstaller" and that seems to have worked so far.

    Gigabyte G1 970 Crashing during Gameplay

    I bought this Gigabyte G1 970 about three months ago and since I got it, it's been crashing (sometimes freezing my computer forcing a restart) but only when i'm playing games. It seems to be completely random when it happens because I watch the sensors on GPU-Z and it's all normal then just...

    Discolored Pixelated Videos and Bright Videos in Win 7 64bit
