    [SOLVED] Very weird and erratic CPU behavior.

    I am aware that tempearture spikes are normal. I've lived with my Ryzen for almost a year now so they've become a normality in the time I've used it. But what it's doing now is far from normal. My idle tempeartures used to be and continue to be at around 40-45 degrees celcius, usually during...
