6700k high cpu usage

[Bomzito]

Hello, guys. Really need help on this one. Got a new cpu, ram, mobo, power supply cooler. Put everything together, worked great. Got an ROG swift, and it was getting around 100fps in bf4. Anyway, been couple of weeks now, and it started acting weird. MY 6700K in stock, bounces around in usage, up to 90-100 percent!!! Even on desktop, and any other software or game. And in bf4 now lags, drops fps to nearly 0. Also couple of freezes. Temps are fine, I got 240 AIO on it, and doesn't go over 50. Don't rally know what to do. 

 

Spec - Cpu 6700k

             Mobo maximus hero viii 

             Ram 16gb corsair 2100mhz 

             2x gtx 770

             Cooler master Neptune  240mm aio

             Corsair rm1000i

             Ssd Corsair force 180gb

 

Really hope someone can help me. 

Cheers

Reinstall Windows, you grabbed some virus probably OR you installed some bad program.

my guess is just that there is some bloatware causing this,same thing happened to my laptop until i uninstalled it

Windows Defender maybe?

I did play around with some overclocking before, I hope I didn't mess something up. I loaded optimised defaults, but still no change.

My 2 x 770's are not being pushed now, and sit at less then 50% usage now. So my 6700k in bottle-necking them? That cant be correct.

look at your processes in the task manager and see what uses up all that cpu power, if its svchost.exe than you have a virus. svchost.exe is a normal windows system file but its often the easiest to infect for viruses.

Sounds like your install of Windows is wrecked somehow, or maybe you're on an older Nvidia driver (I had some bad luck with the earlier Windows 10 WHQL drivers whoring up CPU).

I clean installed the drivers, all up to date.

It's not that then. Doesn't matter what I do, anything I open will spike the CPU. Even refreshing on desktop spikes to 20% usage.

Windows explorer. Even opening a new tab in Chrome spikes to 50% or more.

He said clean install windows, the WHOLE windows, not just drivers.

Definitely a problem with windows.

does it have multiple instances running in task manager and windows startup? sounds like a Trojan.Poweliks. try submitting explorer.exe to virustotal.com to confirm.
