Help Please!!!

My CPU is being used and is almost always at 100%. My RAM usage is sometimes high as well. Im not sure if my CPU is broken or something. Here are some screenshots to answer any questions. My CPU stays at sub 40 Celsius constantly.

Run a virus scan. If it doesn't catch anything, check your background processes and kill apps you aren't using.

Will do, but is the 801MHz normal?

Not really, but I can't see any context, so IDK if it's idling or something.

That's what I want to fix. I run Rocket League, CS:GO, PUBG, and lots of other games and it throttle the CPU for some reason.

Do you have a ton of programs running?

No the max I have running is one of the games listed above and TeamSpeak, but mostly TeamSpeak is running.

Wait. Your 4690k is at 100% load and it's only at 801 MHz? That doesn't seem right at all -  have you messed with the power settings or have an offset mode for your CPU clock?

I honestly have no clue what that means. Could you explain that please to me? I'm so sorry for my ignorance.

the 801 MHz is what's wrong

 

go in bios and try setting everything to default or locking it to 4GHz (i think that's slightly under default turbo clock)

Don't I restart my computer to launch the bios menu?

Your CPU is supposed to run at a certain speed. Yours should be running at 3.5 GHz (~3500 MHz) and turbo up to 3.9 GHz as needed but it's at 801 MHz

yes

When I'm at the bios menu, how do I change the speed back to 3.5GHz?

Would you mind explaining how to change my CPU speed through the BIOS menu?

it's kinda hard to get screenshots of bios... so turn off PC. turn it on and mash the del button. then you switch the bios to advanced mode (often f7 key)

 

then you should see an OC tab. set the ring ratio also could be named clock multiplier to 39

BTW if you're doing what Squinty suggests and you're using an ASUS motherboard, the tab will be labeled as AI Tweaker.

Good looking! I am actually using an ASUS z-97a. I'm still confused somewhat. Sorry! Here are the things that I see in the Ai Tweaker.

AI Overclock Tuner to manual

 

CPU Core Ratio to sync all cores

 

Set limit to 39 and hit F10. See if that works.

This is what it says still. https://gyazo.com/c10e08e462f08c8e2a7a8b75f2bbaa95

Have you checked your power setting? You know, just in case.

 

Can you go to task manager and the performance tab? It should give you the live clock number.

It says my CPU speed is .80GHz

When did you first notice this issue? Do you have a program like AI Suite 3 installed?

I just noticed it today and yes I have AI Suite 3
