[SOLVED] CPU always at 100%

[xairico]

The title says it all, Windows Task Manager says that CPU is running at 100% I don't know why. Other apps say that it isn't at 100%, I want to know if Windows Task Manager is wrong, or the other apps. Thank you.

new build? latest bios? chipset driver? was it a fresh os install for the build?

How do you have BIOS set up?

Specifically, have you taken Voltage and/or processor Multiplier out of auto? Do you have AMD Cool'n'Quiet and Advanced (or Global) C States enabled?

Did you install the AMD Chipset drivers from the AMD web site, and are you running the AMD Ryzen Balanced power plan, unaltered?

I updated the BIOS to the latest one, the Windows version is the latest one, I installed the drivers before updating the BIOS so I don't know if I have to reinstall them. The BIOS was reinstalled several times so I don't know if I did something wrong.
The OS was cloned from an HDD I used to have.
I tried to change OC settings, I don't know if I did something wrong, I used ryzen master.

You should reset CMOS after each BIOS 'update'.

You should also clean install the OS if the HDD was installed in a different system, especially different processor or motherboard. SOMETIMES an in-place update can help fix problems

One thing about Windows, it's always doing something in the background. One problem task has been the Windows Search tool which indexes the drive(s) for speedy searches in the background. Make sure Windows is up to date as MS has been alternately breaking and then making 'fixes' for it in recent updates.

Oh, and how do I clear CMOS?

The instructions should be in your manual... turn off, remove power, open case and short the two reset pins with a metal screwdriver. The manual shows where the pins are.
