CPU usage is exteremly high when watching youtube videos

[Itay080]

Title, nothing much to explain, other than that I think that this is a new problem the pc is new, I got it in the 9th of July.
there's a picutre:

I have translated the other lines.
EDIT:
it is not only in youtube, firefox, its in Watch Dogs, GTA V, in watch dogs and gta v it is between 90-100 percents since this problem occoured.

What is the core clock? Can you post the rest of your specs like mobo and CPU?

What is a core clock and what is a mobo? Sorry :/
My specs are:
K282 COOLERMASTER 2X12CM

14CM A.PFC MOD SMART 730W THERMALTAKE

3.5GHz 6MB CORE I5 1150 QUAD 4690

HASWELL 1150 H81M-P33 H81 MSI

RETAIL ADATA 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ

KINGSTON V300 2.5" SATA 240GB SSD

TOSHIBA 7200 32MB SATA 1TB

SATA LG DVDX24 DL OEM GH24NSC0B

AMD Radeon R9 390 GAMING 8GB-5 MSI

Mobo = Motherboard. Sorry for the abbreviation. 🙁

The clock speed is the speed of the processor in GHZ. Download this and see what the clock speed reads: http://openhardwaremonitor.org/


The intended clock is suppose to be 3.5 but it might not be getting that high. Also with the hardware monitor you can see the voltages. A screenshot of that would be helpful.

Thats ok 😀
there you go

65% CPU usage during video playback? That's too high. You should be getting around 10% usage on your CPU (I get around 5% usage on an i7). Check if there's other background processes, such as anti-virus, which are hiking up your CPU usage.

But as you can see in the picture, Firefox is the one eating the CPU usage.

I also see that aftetr the CPU being onmly 50 percents usage while on GTA V, for examp,e its not 90 percents if not hundred, and this PC is built for gaming and the store promised me that, should I return it to them?

 

[velo3100]

It is most likely the hardware acceleration on the browser. This increases cpu usage by quite a bit. Turn it off and it should reduce.

But what about this?

So are you saying that the cpu usage is 50% while playing gta? If that is the case, I am not that surprised as the game can put a lot of load on the cpu.

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

Then I would suggest using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox if you're that much concerned about CPU usage while watching youtube videos. I know you probably don't like IE 11 like many other people, but it's actually pretty light on CPU and memory resources. I use it as my sole browser.

No, it was 50% before this problem happened, now its between 90 to 100 percents.

But I found out that it's not only youtube, if I play GTA V, for example, my CPU usage is between 90 to 100, and about youtube its in Chrome also
Before this problem appeared my CPU usage in games like GTA V was only like 50 percents..

 

[velo3100]

Then the only thing I can think of is the background process or startup programs. It could be windows services as well like windows search.

 

[teknobug]

What extensions and plugins do you have in your Firefox? Maybe some got installed without your consent (happens when you go to unfamiliar questionable sites).

High usage in Chrome while watching video is normal (especially in HTML5), it's a faster browser but at the cost of higher resource usage. But Firefox should sit around 3-10%.

 

[Itay080]

I only have Norton Secuirty Toolbar, btu as I said, teknobug, it is not only in youtube, firefox, its in Watch Dogs, GTA V, in watch dogs and gta v it is between 90-100 percents since this problem occoured.
And no velo, there arent any background process THAT USE CPU.

 

[Itay080]

Bump.

Maybe my CPU fan has stopped working as well? How can I check it?

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

It could be possible that the CPU is throttling due to high temps. Use HWMonitor to check temps.

 

[Itay080]

Done,

that's the temperatures while doing nothing in the PC other than having firefox, anti virus and the baisc applications opened, is it normal?

 

[Itay080]

Anyone???

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

Temps look fine. Check the task manager for background processes. Not sure why your CPU usage is so high.

 

[velo3100]

Its your anti virus software. Norton is very cpu heavy and will hog the resources. Try using anti malwarebytes instead and uninstall norton and see if that makes a difference.

 

[Itay080]

That is not possible Velo, I have been using Norton almost a year and I have never had resources problems with it.
I guess I will just take it to the store so they can check the problem.
Thanks everyone.

Then I am not sure what is causing it. Some program is using the cpu a lot when playing games but I don't know what that program is. This assumes you have no viruses on your machine and have all the win and driver updates.
