How to fix 90-98% CPU usage from ONE program?

[FlayThenHook]

Recently for the past week, I have been experiencing lag with 5 fps and no solution. (Google, YouTube, emailing game creators, asking friends online, etc) There was no working solution. How can I fix this 100% CPU from ONE program? Which in this case for me is when I try to run my game or try to record a video.

I already did these:
Defrag
Antivirus
Check for other Processes
It's been confirmed it's only one program.

I hope somebody can find a working solution for me, because at this point I might be buying a new computer... My dad couldn't help me either.

Here, get malwarebytes, it doesn't cost anything to remove malware, if you think it does, you need to read more carefully.

[FlayThenHook]

I already have that downloaded, it didn't find anything.

Thanks for that article, I'll check it out. For the Core Temp program, I downloaded it and it gave me an error so I uninstalled it. There is an antivirus my dad recommended, it found malware, but in order to remove it, it costs $29.95. But I'll keep trying this before I buy it.

One of the best anti malware programs and costs nothing to remove malware. If this doesn't find anything then there is no malware.
Always be aware of programs that say they have found malware and you need to pay to remove it. It is a con.

Malwarebytes is a reputable company and one of the leading companies in anti malware alongside others like Sophos Nortons and Macafee.

Both the games you mentioned are Client/Server games that are notorious for lag. To rule out network problems, you need to run a standalone game to check your computer out. This is any game that does not need to be connected to the internet, unlike LOL and Robox.

Ive fixed that issue with using a 3rd party driver update program, you just have to upgrade your drivers and do some tweaking work on your windows...

I already have Malwarebytes, and 2 weeks ago, I could run LoL and Roblox at the same time, but now, all it can run is Google Chrome. I already updated all of my drivers.

This is why I said you must impart full information, not give out little bits as responses to questions.

So to recap: up to 2 weeks ago you could run lol and robox with no problem. You havn't tried any other none net connected game to discount any internet problems.
Perfmon doesn't say anything and yet you are using 100% CPU whilst running games.

So what happened 2 weeks ago ?

 

[FlayThenHook]

Not sure, I know I didn't download any Malware though. My computer just started lagging. I found out when I went into a game of LoL and I was lagging super bad and I looked at the performance thing and it said 100% CPU - 90.4% is LoL.

Have you tried running a game that is not client/server based ?

 

[FlayThenHook]

Yeah I could run the worst game in the world Club Penguin.

 

[James Mason]

That's still an internet game.

What about like, singleplayer minecraft or something?

 

[FlayThenHook]

I donut play Minecraft. I tried to play Hello, Neighbor! And it still lags.

 

[James Mason]

Do you have any single player games that are full retail releases and aren't buggy as all hell pre-alpha games?

 

[FlayThenHook]

My brother doesn't lag, and he tried out Hello, Neighbor! with no lag.

That doesn't mean anything, network connections are device dependent.

As far as anyone knows at this stage is you could have a data miner running, your net drivers could be crap or your hardware could have had it.

I did say a while back that you need to investigate everything and not take half measures. People cannot help you unless you are willing to do the tasks to find problems.

I notice the question on what the cpu temp really is under load hasn't been answered.

I did see where op said temp was 28c but didn't not answer questions to if this was idle at idle (which I'm guessing it is) because 28c under load for an a10 would be amazing. and also op one post says a temp of 75c which is hot.

It was my sh*tty processor, it died. I bought a new computer it should be coming in 5-10 days.

 

[FlayThenHook]

If anyone wants a free solution point just put "Replace the processor".

 

[James Mason]

Hmm, if it was only your CPU that died, you could have easily and more cheaply just replaced it than buying a new computer.

It was about $160 for my broken $600 computer that is an office one, and I also have some other problems with my current computer.
