This is something odd here.

 

First Picture:

To see if it is a Chrome related issues, close all open Chrome Windows / tabs, and see if the CPU usage drops.

Chrome, over time, can be a resource hog.

 

Second Picture:

Why is Windows only seeing one Core / Thread?

I am also on Windows 7, and it shows all 8.

How many Cores does it say in "Computer" > "Properties" say?

 

What version BIOS are you using for the MSI Gigabyte 970 Gaming motherboard?

 

Did you accidentally disable any Cores in the BIOS?

Please check.

 

Did you check how Cores CPU-Z detect?

It's taylor swift that's playing in the background ! Obviously your problem.... Jk I'm really not sure about this one just try defaulting your bios and try again maybe you changed a setting ? In the bios it should say default settings clock that and boot back into windows and check to see of its still hapening

Maybe somehow your boot options to messed up because you do seem to have only one core running.

 

go in your windows search bar, type "msconfig"

 

In the boot tab, hit advanced options...

 

Uncheck Number of processors or try to see if you can increase it.

 

Reboot and check your windows task manager performance tab, it should have multiple squares. If not then there's something weird going on, maybe reset bios or w/e..
