Question CPU at 100% after installing new hard drive

[Chungbung]

So I decided to buy a new Western Digital 2tb Hard Drive. After I got done installing it I decided to install CS GO and Apex on it first.
When I started playing CS GO (Apex was still downloading) I noticed some stuttering and checked task manager and saw that my CPU was at 100%.
I restarted my computer and at idle it still goes to 100%
Why is that?
My CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600

1st picture is when I launched chrome

Is your anitivirus scanning in the background?
What are you doing so intensive in Chrome? 4K or 8K youtube?

Also I can see the chrome used 46.2% + kaspersky anti virus used 32.9% of cpu in the picture you posted.

Reinstall Chrome and scan for viruses using Bit Defender Free and scan for spyware using Malewarebytes Free.

 

[rgd1101]

turn the pc off. unplug the hdd and test it again.

 

[Zizo007]

Also uninstall chrome extensions if you are using any.

It does the same thing
100% sometimes at idle without the hard drive

It's probably Chrome doing it's "harmful programs" and "malware" scan. It's the reason I tossed Chrome in favor of Brave, which is based on Chrome, but without most of the google garbage. Chrome would constantly scan and all I could hear was my storage drives sounding like banshees wailing for hours until I figured out it was Chrome scanning all my drives. I would uninstall Chrome and either install Firefox or try Brave if you prefer the Chrome UI. https://brave.com/

Is your hard drive brand new or used new?? I had a drive go bad and it was causing my CPU to run at 100% when I was copying files or running anything off it.

I've never had an issue with chrome, maybe I've just been lucky.

Bitdefender is acting like Kaspersky and using lots of cpu usage
I don't understand why my CPU all of the sudden stating using it self so much

No it's completely brand new
Bought it from best buy

 

[captaincharisma]

download and run crystaldisk info to check the health of the HDD. it may be defective

 

[laptop-Tech]

Check R.A.I.D (Intel rapid storage) and reninstall drivers if nessseary

 

[Mr.Spock]

Your Kaspersky may have been configured for idle scan which is normal and with a new drive it will scan in the background. Bitdefender likewise will do an initial full scan on install (so this is overhead associated with installing a new HDD) - you can tinker with the scan settings to make it less intensive. either way it should resolve itself once the AV makes its first clean pass
