Recently dota 2 a steam game had an update with battle pass, somehow the game started to spike its CPU process. Before, I can still browse chrome with multiple tabs, open Adobe apps and play.
I tried troubleshooting it myself guided by other forums and answers from users that had the same problem and had it fixed.
Here are my specs:
intel i3-3240
8gb of Ram
GTX 750 TI
My troubleshooting so far
- CPU temperature is in normal condition with average of 45C in idle and not above 65C when launching apps
- GPU is enabled for the game using windows apps
- Checked for possible bottleneck, its compatible
- Scanned my pc for potential virus, adware cleaner managed to catch one
- Minimized the video settings in-game
- Tweaked the nvidia control panel (VSync off) and other stuff
- Most recently used the 2 cores from msconfig setting
- Played without any app running on the background, but it still uses 100% CPU as seen in the screenshot
I really tried to sort this thing out using the internet, I hope someone with better knowledge can help me out. Thanks
P.S. I know someone already posted something similar here, however that post didn't helped me that much
