Chrome 90%+ cpu?

[Flux Azreal]

 

 

this is super strange.. Its been happening a lot recently. Could it be a extension cryptomining or something?

 

Spec: 

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: GTX 1050

RAM: 8GB 1666 MHz

 

 

It uses lots of ram aswell..

I mean if i have no tabs open chrome would close itself. Normally this issue happens when im on youtube. 

(not all the time but sometimes it just spikes from 1% to 90%)

I meant just the home page without extra tabs.

Then it's probably just your CPU rendering the video. Youtube's video player is pretty CPU intensive, especially if you don't have hardware acceleration enabled.

I don't beleave thats the issue. I have a vary strong CPU normally when im viewing content it goes from 2-10% 90%+ on a ryzen 5 is pretty ridiculous. And i do have acceleration enabled.

Then try to narrow it down, open a single Youtube tab with all add-ons disabled and watch a video. If CPU usage spikes then there's nothing you can do, it's just Youtube being Youtube. If it doesn't try re-enabling your extensions one at a time and see if any of them causes a spike. If it doesn't, try different websites.

 

Also just because CPU usage is low on, say, VLC doesn't mean it will be with a web player. My own CPU usage goes down significantly if I use an external player to view a Youtube video.
