AMD fx-6100 dying?

[Dauk94]

Hi forum :)

i need some help from you guys. I am still running on amd fx-6100. i know it is old and i am planning to upgrade. but meanwhile, i would still like to play some games.
cpu is paired with r9 280x and 8gb ram. I am on clean install of windows as of yesterday because i thought formatting my pc would resolve the issue. 

Anyways, i need help.

Cpu is idling at around 50% usage. When i open my game, for example League of Legends, i get hit with 100% cpu load in game and my fps drops to 20, with no sign of overheating and gpu load at 10%. all settings set as low as they can go.

Does anyone have any solution as to why is my cpu under so much load? how could i fix it?

Fresh install needs update or is in the process of updating it'self and looks to be using a lot of processor usage on operating system services.

Already checked for updates. It says that my system is up to date and no updates are available.

So what's it look like when you completely close Chrome?

It fluctuates a lot. I can get it down to 5% if i close all running processes and wait for a minute or two. but when i move my cursor it creeps up again.

I see nothing wrong. You got lots of background processes running. Plus that CPU is old and it was terrible even when it was first released 8 years ago.
