I Have been having issues with my computer where it would frequently restart due to high CPU (i5 6400 2.7) usage. I recently fixed the issue and my PC runs now, but my CPU is often being used at 100%. I have been using Bioshock Infinite to test the gaming performance. Using a monitoring software I am noticing that the CPU is constantly running at 100% while there is little stress on the GPU (GTX 970). Before the issues arose, this game ran perfectly with the same build. I am considering just replacing the CPU with an i5 7600K 3.8 because it is compatible with my mobo. Will this replacement solve my issue or does it go deeper than simple worn out CPU.
My specs are:
i5 6400 2.7
GTX 970
16 GB DDR4
MSI B150 Gaming M3
EVGA 500w
120 GB SSD (OS)
1 TB HDD
