troubleshooting My PC doesn't work like is supposed to.

[Kingux]

I built this pc 2 years ago and since then it doesn't work well. My CPU usage is always at %100 it doesn't matter if i play on ultra or low. My GPU usage is around %50 - %60 in almost all of the games. My computer BSOD's often and sometimes it doesn't even boot up (CPU and DRAM led's are blinking in order, first the DRAM then the CPU). When i built this PC i was using one stick of 8GB DDR4 ram then i bought another RAM with different brand but i was having this problem before the second ram so i don't think second RAM is the problem. When my CPU reaches %100 usage my mouse starts stuttering as if it's lagging. Textures are not loading in some of the games. 

Here is a video of my computer not booting up.

Specs : 

Intel Core I3 8100

MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X

MSI Z370 Krait Gaming

8GB Samsung DDR4 2400MHZ, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHZ

Zalman ZM600-LX 600W 80 PLUS

1TB Seagate HDD and 120GB Ezcool SSD

What is eating up the CPU? What does the task manager show as the process with the highest CPU usage?

Only the game.

And what does the mobo manual have to say about this?

I already did those things. I formatted my PC like 2 times in 2 years.

CPU - indicates CPU is not detected or fail.

DRAM - indicates DRAM is not detected or fail.

But sometimes it randomly boots up without a problem.

That's not even close to what clearing the cmos and dduing the drivers are.

You misunderstood me, i already cleared cmos and i uninstalled and installed the drivers. But i also formatted my pc a couple of times.

Use ddu 

Don't manually do it.

You have 3 options here:

 

Bad motherboard

Bad RAM

Bad CPU

 

If it's been doing this for some time, then you can narrow this down to:

Bad motherboard

or bad CPU.

 

But since the board gives you the CPU AND RAM error, then either the BIOS is woefully out of date or corrupted

or

bad motherboard.

 

So, is the BIOS up to date?

My BIOS is up to date and these problems were happening since i built this pc. Also CPU and DRAM problem was happening when i was using 1 stick of 8GB RAM.

Bad board then.

If you can, try to reflash the BIOS to the last one you use, but it sounds to me like time for a new board.

Could this problem be caused by my CPU ?

It's possible. Or the RAM.

The only way to know for certain is to swap out the CPU with a known good one, and see what happens

I don't think that will happen soon. I guess i need to wait more.

To me it sounds like the RAM is the issue,

Try testing the RAM with Memtest86.
