    CPU being overused, how to correct


    I've been having PC problems for about the past week, which all started with high power usage causing reboots on my computer. I replaced my PSU from a Corsair 750W to an 850W, which solved that issue but now everytime I do play any games, ranging from Minecraft to Dark Souls 3 my CPU usage goes to 100%.

    INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

    Hello Muhammad,

    CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
    • Have you tried performing a
      clean boot       to eliminate software conflicts?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Looking forward to your response.
