If you have HIGH cpu usage with minimal tasks, sounds more like you have malware or a virus on your system rather than a dying CPU.

Whats your full system specs? Can you also provide a screenshot of your task manager with the High CPU load and sorted by CPU usage.

Try testing with Prime95,if you get errors or warnnings then your CPU is bad.

This program is really good at spotting bad,faulty and unstable CPUs due to it's reliance on accurate calculations.

it's really not that bad otherwise of this

it was fine for gaming and i can play games at ultra and still get good framerates

just cause it's old doesn't mean its bad and newer does not mean better 

and yeah a modern i5 would be better but this is near the same as a ryzen 3 2200g or a i3 8100 or a i5 7400

Is it overclocked? Is you psu old? Could be psu cant provide stable power, try with other psu(take friends or from other pc), from my expierence I never saw dying Intel cpu, but saw 5 times dying AMD cpu so you probably safe from cpu dying term, check also chipset temps probably chipset is overheating due to burned thermal paste

I would advise try other psu, hmm also check SSD temps while gaming, It could be also that SSDs in raid is overheating but this is just <1% theory, PSU issue is more real

This funny but in reality its below 1% chance, in our company we had laptop which struggled while watching youtube videos and browsing, issue was that ssd managed to reach 88-99C, we changed that broken ssd and everything went ok.
