7600K being pinned at 100%

[yatys93]

for the last few days I have been having an issue where when I start to play games, the CPU very quickly gets pinned at 100%, only other things running are steam, corsair CUE (keyboard mouse and headset) EVGA precision OCX, coretemp and task manager, for example GTA running at high on an ever clocked 1070 at 4K will spit out around 80fps on average, however the last few days the CPU has been running at 100%, 91-95% of that solely GTA, to the point where windows starts to lag like crazy, sometimes causing the game to crash, tried drivers and windows updates, all up to date, tried removing the update windows spat out a couple days ago, no change there either temps are in the high 50 low 60s, not sure what else to try, microsoft want £100 before they will help so thats not an option either
