[SOLVED] 100% CPU usage on opening games

[ghostfacekilluh]

This is my first thread and I’m getting desperate, I purchased a GTX 1080ti for Christmas and am running a Ryzen 5 2600x. Whenever I open any game, Division, Destiny 2, RB6 Siege, CPU jumps to 100% usage and crashes and reboots. Someone please help !

What PSU do you have, make and model.

And what screen resolution are you playing at?

Seasonic FOCUS plus 650W gold. 1920 x 1080 monitor at 144hz

That CPU is bottlenecking that GTX 1080Ti a lot at 1080P.

Wouldn't explain the crashing, though...

What are the complete system specs?

Nothing AMD makes can really keep up with a GTX 1080Ti at 1080P, not really.

Although a Ryzen 2700X would do a lot better.

i guess you have reinstalled windows and drivers?

Before or at the same time as you open a game open the task manager and check if there is any other services or programs with high cpu load. windows 10 had some issues with high cpu usage

If anything, using DDU to remove the old GPU drivers, and then installing the new GPU drivers (get the latest from Nvidia's site) would be VERY strongly advised.

That’s what I had though, any idea on how to work around that other than upgrade CPU?

Have tried all of these solutions on here, still to no avail. I never heard anything bad about AMD CPUs with the 1080ti. This was my first AMD build and it’s been giving me nightmares. Thinking I should just scrap the mobo and CPU for intel

amd and a 1080 ti should work without any problem.

i read a few posts saying that ryzen cpus are very fuzzy about memory compability and can cause crashes. any other ram to try with?


some solved the problem by changing the energy Power settings to high performance.

are you using the latest version of windows? seems like alot of people had issues with ryzen cpus and windows 10 causing crashes.

i would look at the bios settings for the ram and possibly try new ram and get the latest version of windows on usb stick and try installing it one more time.


also you could try go into bios and try load default settings . reboot and try again. this fixed issues with windows 10 for some.

some people with same problem as you

the thing that seem to solve it for some people is checking the ram compability or changing the Power plan in windows to high performance instead of amd ryzen balanced plan.

do you have a different gfx card that you can use to see if the computer still crashes?

does your cpu have built in gfx as well?
