6600k high usage idle

[fnc]

so usage ranges from 60 to 75 can spike up to 90%, i have steam running and games downloading other than that i have chrome running and msi after burner, temps are at 40c if that needs to be known other than that i dont know what else i need to let anyone know, i need help please  

 

and my msi mobo shows constant post codes of 39/40/41 is that a problem...?

The motherboard readout shows temperatures after the boot sequence has finished.

My guess is the CPU is downclocking to save power. The percentages will change based on that. For example if the CPU downclocks to 1/4 its normal speed, what would usually appear as 25% usage would instead appear as 100%.

This is new and interesting to me, is this something msi mobos do or is this the same for other skylake mobos and with the cpu downclocking itself, is this something intel cpus do or do amd cpus do this too because i dont think my 8350 ever did something like this and is it possible for me to stop the cpu from doing this?

Go task manager, ctrl-alt-del and see what apps are running and hogging resources, terminate each one, or eliminate startup entries, sometime have too many background applications. Even something like a game shouldn't take up more than 80, but if its just doing nothing, its a bit strange. 

 

Don't know much about the Post-codes, check into a BIOS make everything look straight, or do an update. Can maybe solve the problem
