CPU ¿high? usage?

[ImGrilli]

Okay, I got this Pentium G3250 with an ASUS H81M-K motherboard, and i'm starting to suspect that the CPU usage isn't normal. For example in Dying Light I always have 100% usage, but a guy in youtube with a g3250 and a gtx 660 doesnt get 100% always, the same with Battlefield 4.

Can this problem be bad BIOS version of the mobo or wat? I dont know what to think anymore.

Help please

Oh, and that image of the CPU usage was when only browsing LTT Forum's

how do i do the upside down question marks like you

[Speed bump]

it must be something you're running in the background, check your processing list

Do you have any resource hungry programs running in the background?

Also what is your processor's speed when playing games and on LTT?

[ImGrilli]

No, and it is always like this, random cpu usage.

No, only Chrome

Seems normal to me... Go to settings -> personalization -> colors & background Enable a static background and make sure to use anything else than Windows Defender because that uses too much CPU useage and ram for such a basic anti-virus.

It seems normal to me, my Pentium G3258 runs as unstable as yours does, and by unstable I mean the spiking CPU usage.
This is a screenshot from my Pentium, spiky even with/without Intel SpeedStep enabled.
The screenshot was taken while having 3 open Chrome tabs and Netflix running on my primary monitor.
I've also experienced the spiky usage on a clean windows 10 install at stock clock speeds.

I think its Defender on the background. Even opening Explorer Spikes my cpu to 100%
It could be me but its probably just the pentium and some random background tasks.

@ImGrilli I'm still not 100% shure why its that spiky.
I'll run a VM with clean install, maybe that gives me any information.

If I do get any information, I'll let you know.

So I've setup a VM with Dutch Windows 10 Pro.

I waited untill Windows Update decided to stop downloading random updates without permission so I could do my stability test.
The CPU is pretty stable at idle, untill I open a program. When launching Edge for example the usage flew up to 100% for a split second, just by scrolling around and even idling on the page gave me unstable usage.

My conculsion would be: Or I'm a stupid man and I just got it all wrong or pentiums aren't that stable as an i7 would be for instance. At the end they are just dual cores...

I'm not bothering upgrading, the G3258 Bottlenecks my R9 270... I'M JUST BROKE OK!
