CPU Spikes

[Mackan_G31]

All of a sudden my CPU started spiking to a 100% back and fourth. I have no tasks open and it still spikes up to a 100%. Right now while using Chrome it's jumping back an fourth between 50-100% and even if no tasks are open it still spikes regularly!

 

Can this be caused by overstressing the CPU? Because I've just finished rendering quite a heavy project in Vray (A realistic rendering software). After that my CPU haven't been performing as normal. It's even now common that every program I open and use freezes and crashes straight away. On top of that the keyboard has stopped working in Windows Search etc.

It’s an intel i5-4460, so it’s quite old but it has been working flawlessly for all these years and haven’t experienced any problems lately with it.

 

BIOS wise I’m not sure, but my drivers are up to date, might have to check the BIOS though and see if i can update it.

I asked because ryzen stuff had a problem with that for a while.   Might be win10 or some bios update.

I understand. I’ll have a look and thanks for the advice!
