This started only a few minutes after i opened my laptop and this high usage is very obviously causing a large amount of heat making the laptop unusable. it all happened while i was IDLE i didn't open or do anything.

Using the 'Predator Helios 300' Model G3-572

CPU: i7-7700hq

Laptop: age, condition, usage?

Battery or plugged in to a power outlet? Battery age?

Any preceding hardware or software changes?

Update your post to include full laptop specs. OS?

In Task Manager, check the other tabs and remember to expand the listings.

Look in the Startup tab to see what is being launched. Could be some corrupted app.

Look at Resource Monitor - may also help identify the problem source.
