Hi,
Recently (unless its happened gradually, not too sure) whenever i play any game my CPU usage maxes out. When I use Chrome or just load any application it normally hits around 30-40% when loading but goes back down to 2-5% once the application is static, and from my knowledge thats pretty high.
I've looked into forums and other solutions and tried all of them that i've found; ran CCleaner, ran malwarebytes, done a virus scan etc... I've read into overclocking but I haven't done this to my CPU that i know of.
Basically what I need help with is how to fix this without having to buy a new CPU or will that be the only solution for me?
Thanks for any clues and ideas you may have
