100% CPU usage all the time

[daffyduckzxd]

I noticed a decrease of my PC's performance about a week ago, then i looked in the task manager and the CPU usage was at 100%( i think that'sunusual).I also know that i had a windows update before noticing the high usage of my cpu. After that i even reinstalled my windows, so there shouldn't be something malicious.
So, with my fresh installed Windows, the problem still persists.

sometimes even task manager goes up to 75% and System interrupts up to 100% usage - that is very unusual

PC specs:
Intel® Core™ i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
Memory :4 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740

Within Process Manager, if check to see what it utilising the CPU the most......Click on the CPU header and it will put it in ascending order. What is hogging the CPU at the top?

I mentioned in my post below the imgur link with my taskmanager printscreen that System Interrupts and task manager utilise the CPU the most, Sometimes Client Server Runtime Process and System show up

Sorry, i don't know how to post a full picture here so i uploaded it

 

[scout_03]

check if windows update is not on peer to peer and also what back up software could run in background as task .

I would go into control panel and disable all of your sound devices to see if it is a conflict in the sound subsystem. then go into bios and update it or reset it to defaults or toggle any setting (on and back off)
to force the BIOS to reassign hardware interrupts and DMA channels and rebuild the database it sends to windows plug and play.

then reboot and see if you still get the flood of system interrupts. it the flood is gone, I would then update the motherboard sound drivers. reboot and re enable the sound subsystems

note: if your bios is out of date you might update it and the various motherboard drivers.
old network drivers can mess up streaming software, old usb drivers can cause various problems

Apologies, I missed the imgur link. I think johnbl is on to something with the IRQs. If you don't get anywhere, might be an idea to go through all of your peripheral drivers download all of the latest ones, uninstall each one in device manager, then let Windows detect them, and then update with the latest ones you downloaded. This might help Windows to reset the IRQs for PnP devices. I haven't had any IRQ errors since Windows 98 days!

You could also try and Check within Windows Event Viewer... Under the Windows Logs > System then use the filter for errors, warnings, and Critical events. Check through and see if there is a lot of repeating events, and see what it eludes to. Could be something in relation to your audio, USB drivers etc. There might be a clue to the cause of your problem.

In the Event Viewer there seems to be a lot of "Event 219, Kernel-PnP" warnings : The driver \Driver\tunnel failed to load for the device SWD\IP_TUNNEL_VBUS\Teredo_Tunnel_Device. And this : The driver \Driver\tunnel failed to load for the device SWD\IP_TUNNEL_VBUS\ISATAP_0.

I tried to look for Teredo driver in device manager but it's nowhere to be found

It looks like somebody else was having the same error: Check here...

Nothing worked so far, i think it has to do with the new windows update but i'm not sure. I tried booting into Safe Mode and the CPU was running perfectly so the cpu is allright. I'll check for other solutions...

Open Powershell and run the "Get-Process" (without quotes) Cmdlet.

You will get a list of processes that are running.

Get-Process : Cannot find a process with the name "Cmdlet". Verify the process name and call the cmdlet again.

Apologies:

Use just "Get-Process".

It is a Cmdlet with Cmdlet just being a reference to the nature of the command.

Difficult to read as the output loses its formatting.

However, I see Chrome quite a bit....

Go back into Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and click the CPU column.

Should present the CPU usage with the more demanding processes at the top.

Key is to identify whatever is grabbing and holding CPU resources.

 

[Neur0nauT]

You know the one thing I didn't ask ou was if you have downloaded and installed all the latest motherboard drivers, BIOS update etc? I found an old Toms forum tread that eludes to the same problem. Random Reboot Problem Guys in there suggested making sure your mobo drivers are all up-to-date first.

Heres a thought. As a quick test.....try uninstalling Google Chrome.....I have a theory that it could be a Google Chrome extension that is over-utilising your CPU. If it turns out that this resolves your issues, then you'll have to check on any extensions you have installed on Chrome and remove the offending one.

Also try disabling or exiting from MS Onedrive which starts automatically with windows. I've been having intermittent connectivity issues on my broadband lately, and I have a feeling it has something to do with Google drive/Onedrive and Chrome attempting to sync. I'm still troubleshooting that one myself.

Also you could try and go into your network adapter properties and uncheck the "Internet Protocol Version 6 - TCP/IPV6" box and see if there is a difference. Since this issue is in relation to the Teredo Tunnelingwhich utilises IPV6; if you disable it, then it will have no need to attempt to use it.

Let me know how you get on...

 

[scout_03]

use this glary utilities and see what proces run dirctly from os loading and all other you could post result here or e-mail me them from forum tab .

 

[daffyduckzxd]

Problem solved. I had to update my bios; i know i should've tried this earlier but i was afraid of messing up my system. Thank you for all your help!

 

[Neur0nauT]

That's good, glad you got it sorted. Be aware that updating your BIOS is usually more beneficial than not doing it. The only danger involved is if your updating with the wrong bios version for your mobo, or if the system loses power during the update which can corrupt and brick it. 99% of the time it is a safe process and will help address bugs and issue with the system such as you've experienced here. 😉
