i5 8400 cpu usage 100% while doing nothing

[dirolas]

Task manager shows 100% , rain meter shows different things.Adding core temp information.

 

Should i be worried ?? Thanks in advance.

If you try to do something that requires significant CPU horsepower, such as cinebench, does it feel slower then it should? Trying to diagnose whether it is a reporting issue or an actual issue.

I'd personally imagine it's a reporting error, try updating windows. It is a new CPU after all, and Windows probably isn't used to the new six-cores.

Do you really need 3 different threads for the same problem? 

Start with the basics. Load into safe mode, continue doing what you normally do, and see if it's still at 100%. Narrow it down application by application, turn things off at startup, and see if the problem persists.

 

You really should keep these posts within a single thread in the future, it makes it difficult for others to search for the same problem, only to find information scattered in 3 different threads.

I read something about some websites using your PC for mining or other ransomware crap even after u close the website.

Could be a possibility.
