"System" in Task Manager

Fady12210 · July 19, 2015

Hello, ive recently noticed that "system" in my task manager is using over 50% CPU usage. it does this if im idle or just simply surfing the web. I keep my pc very clean and healthy, i do a virus scan on my system here and there and it usually ends up not finding any viruses. i tried searching for this problem on google, youtube, etc. But found nothing that helped me. Although i tried turning off my computer and unplugging the power cord and that fixed the problem but after and hour or so it started happening again. Any suggestions will help.

-Thanks in advance

PC SPECS:

-GTX 970

-i5 4690k

-8Gb Ram

-Windows 8.1 64bit

did u check the temp of ur CPU?

i had the same issue before but it was actually up to around 100% , and then i figured it was cause of my temp it went up to 90 i think, my thermal paste was gone then

just give it a look with AIDA64 or w/e u are ussing

u can also go to ur Processes tab & check/press "show processes from all users" check what's taking so much of ur CPU
